When Jay Ajayi was declared out of Dolphins practice early this week, alarm bells went off because of his history with a serious knee injury.
Turned out this injury had nothing to do with his previous problems — it was just a bruise — and Ajayi returned to participate in his first full-padded practice Friday morning.
“I just didn’t want to lose the momentum that I’ve been gaining,” Ajayi said. “I’ve been practicing well all through the off-season leading up to this point, to coming out of practice, so once I came back, I wanted to get back into it and get the ball rolling again.
