The Miami Dolphins added cornerback Eli Apple after Jalen Ramsey suffered a knee injury in late July to be another experienced player in the secondary. The eighth-year vet was on the field for four snaps against the Denver Broncos before suffering a blow to the head and entering concussion protocol.
Coach Mike McDaniel announced on Monday that Apple had been cleared of a concussion, but the Dolphins were still short-handed at cornerback on Sunday, especially when factoring in the team’s decision to make rookie Cam Smith inactive for the game.
