To fill Reshad Jones' roster spot, Dolphins claim DT Nick Williams off waivers from KC. 21 games over 3 yrs for KC. No starts. 14 tackles.

Nick Williams has been more a 3-4 DE before. Likely headed to DT duty with the Dolphins.

so no other safety being brought on or up from PS.
 
Hum not much production here though our line is a bit week stopping the run. Hope the coaching staff knows something special about this guy.
 
Jones has been placed on injured reserve as a result of the shoulder injury and the team filled his roster spot by claiming defensive tackle Nick Williams off of waivers from the Chiefs. Williams was waived as Kansas City made a flurry of roster moves on Tuesday.

Williams was a seventh-round pick of the Steelers in 2013, but never played in the regular season for Pittsburgh. He joined the Chiefs in 2014 and had 14 tackles in 21 games before being dropped from the roster.

The move leaves the Dolphins with three safeties on the active roster. Isa Abdul-Quddus has started all six games with Michael Thomas and Walt Aikens the others on hand heading into this weekend’s game with the Bills.

Kinda of surprised we didn't sign Shamiel Gary from Minnesota's PS since he knows the system and was with us during the preseason.

The Dolphins confirmed Wednesday that safety Reshad Jones will miss the rest of the season with a torn rotator cuff and made it official with a roster move.

I wonder if someone else is hurt. Lost a safety but get a DT

Ozzy rules
 
A DT makes more sense than Safety considering the Bills are run-heavy
 
Doubt it has to do with the bills he will likely be inactive sunday or if he is active barely get a sniff

We are gonna miss reshads tackling one on one downhill as the last line of defense

Better fill gaps right in the front 7
 
Need another safety quick. Who is on our PS at Safety?
 
I imagine we are rolling with Jordan Lucas as the 4th safety this weekend. I know he played safety at Penn State in 2014. Did he get any looks at all at safety in camp or the preseason?
