MIAMI (AP) — The Miami Dolphins’ secondary is more muddled than when training camp began, and clarity might not come anytime soon.
Blame injuries. Starting safety Louis Delmas was sidelined for the season last week when he torn his right ACL for the second time in nine months, while cornerback Jamar Taylor’s challenge for a starting job has been interrupted while he recovers from a quadriceps injury.
Not to worry, safety Rashad Jones says.
“That’s the beauty of this league, man,” he says. “It’s a next-guy-up mentality.”
Miami is set with Jones, who declares himself the NFL’s best safety, and with Pro Bowl cornerback Brent Grimes.
