The Miami Dolphins made a roster move on Tuesday, bringing cornerback Jordan Lucas up to the active roster from the practice squad. They made roster space by placing rookie tackle Eric Smith on injured reserve, effectively ending his season. Lucas played in eight games for the Dolphins last year, all as a special teams member. He is converting from safety to cornerback this season
The Dolphins make the move as they look to add depth at the cornerback position; Byron Maxwell missed last week’s game after sustaining an injury in pre-game warm-ups.
