Way We Hear It: Former first-rounder has questionable present, future for Miami Dolphins

Related Topics: Miami Dolphins, Ja'Wuan James

Miami Dolphins right tackle Ja'Wuan James has a hamstring injury that is expected to keep him out for Monday night's game and could cause him to miss the remainder of the season, we're told.

The Dolphins have to decide if it's worth playing the inconsistent James down the stretch heading into the final year of his deal in 2018. The team picked up his fifth-year option for nearly $9 million next season (and is guaranteed for injury) and must decide the immediate risk vs. reward return.
