Miami Dolphins defensive back Keion Crossen sent out a tweet on Tuesday morning indicating that the 26 year old may be having surgery in the very near future.
Crossen, normally a special teams ace, was pressed into duty for Miami’s defense after a number of players in the Dolphins’ secondary were lost this season due to injury. Byron Jones, Nik Needham, Trill Williams, Brandon Jones and others all suffered season ending ailments at one point or another during the season. As a result, Crossen played more defensive snaps this season than at any other point in his career (436), including 53 defensive snaps in Miami’s playoff game against the Buffalo Bills.
