The Miami Dolphins placed tight end Adam Shaheen on injured reserve Tuesday after he failed a physical last week because of a pre-existing knee injury, which voided a trade with the Houston Texans.
Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said Tuesday that Shaheen will undergo surgery after getting more opinions on his knee and the organization is "100% supportive" of his decision.
McDaniel said Shaheen was practicing fine before the trade "with nothing holding him back."
"We 100% thought he was 100% healthy," he said, adding: "We were surprised as I know Adam was and that was something that we definitely didn't anticipate.
