The Miami Dolphins have been forced to shuffle their defensive backfield yet again, as Isa Abdul-Quddus, the starting safety for all 15 games this year, was placed on Injured Reserve. To fill his roster spot, the team promoted undrafted free agent rookie safety AJ. Hendy to the active roster.
Hendy, out of Maryland, is 6’-0” and 209 pounds, and has been on the Dolphins practice squad throughout the entire 2016 season.
Abdul-Quddus was signed in the offseason, after playing his first five years for the New Orleans Saints and Detroit Lions. He started every game this season, and has done reasonably well.
