DAVIE (CBSMiami/AP) — At the start of training camp, the most unsettled area of the Miami Dolphins’ defense was the linebacker corps.
Heading into their season opener, it still is.
Miami is expected to start Kelvin Sheppard in the middle and Koa Misi and Jelani Jenkins on the outside in Sunday’s season opener at Washington. But Chris McCain is also an option, Misi can move to the middle, and the Dolphins will experiment with different combinations early in the season.
“We’ve got a number of guys at the linebacker spot, and we’re going to play them,” defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle said Monday.
