Byron Jones underwent offseason ankle surgery in March and initial reports indicated that the cornerback would miss a few months, but be ready for the start of the season.
With just four games left on the schedule, the chance of Jones being a lifeline for Miami’s depleted secondary doesn’t seem too strong.
“He has been involved and been in meeting rooms during the course of the year, and there’s been portions of the year that it was best served for him to utilize that time, whatever the schedule was, to rehab and do things of that nature,” coach Mike McDaniel said of Jones on Monday.
