Miami Dolphins hire new athletic trainer to replace Ryan Grove

Dolphins players will have a new athletic trainer tending to their aches and pains in 2018.

Miami has hired Kyle Johnston, who was the University of Louisville’s director of sports medicine for the last eight seasons.

Johnston, who has also worked at the University of Florida and for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, replaces Ryan Grove, whom the Dolphins fired after the 2017 season.

The reasons for Grove’s termination have not been made public, but the Dolphins had a brutal string of injuries last year, most notably a knee injury that cost Ryan Tannehill the entire season.
