The Dolphinsplaced Jordan on the active/non-football injury list Sunday after the defensive end recently underwent knee surgery, a source informed of his situation told NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport. The surgery wasn't considered major, Rapoport added, but it'll prevent the former No. 3 overall pick from passing a physical for a few weeks.The designation won't affect Jordan's future with the team or the conditions of his reinstatement, but he'll lose out on the $1.7 million bonus he would have received Monday if he were on the active roster.
The move comes two days after the NFL conditionally reinstated after being suspended for more than a year following multiple violations of the NFL Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse.
In addition to placing Jordan on the NFI list, the team also activated newly signed running back Arian Foster (Achilles tendon) from the physically unable to perform list. Foster was placed on PUP Friday a little more than a week after he inked a one-year deal with the team

Nice .hope to see Foster regain his form,and Dion to show us he deserved to be the #3 overall pick.
 
He needed knee surgery? I thought he "looked like a new person"?
 
knee surgery isn't surprising . . . especially when idiots tells a guy to gain 50 pounds on a frame that is use to being 50 pounds lighter.
 
No need to rush Jordan on the field. D-line is one of our most deepest positions (unless they were planning for him to be a LB)
 
This is the first that we have heard of Dion Jordan's knee surgery. I'm curious to learn more about what was performed. It could be just a very minor procedure like a scrape, but may have been more serious. I think we now know why Dion's camp were dragging their feet in the whole reinstatement application process - they knew that he was coming back after surgery and wouldn't be rushed.
 
He probably had an arthroscopic procedure to clean out some loose bodies.
What I don't understand is the conditional reinstatement. Shouldn't his agent and the team have been working on the support structure and counseling aspects of his return already?
 
Are they practicing today? If so, at what time do they start?

you'd like to think so, unless the league didn't give them advance word on what the conditions of his reinstatement were going to be. it shouldn't take long to identify the required treatment.

i'm guessing they started at 8:30. i've been reading mighty omar's tweets from practice for the last hour or two.

That didn't happen this year guy! I think he's had enough time to have got the surgery done way before now...just shows what a slacker this guy is.

THANK YOU!!...was about to post this exact same thing....if it was the extra weight the "bad men" made him put on wouldn't that have been like 3 years ago......he had plenty of time to get it done......maybe he couldn't fit the surgery in because he was busy burning other stuff at both ends (and I DON'T mean a candle!).

Furthermore, it looks like he waited until he was sure the Dolphins were gonna keep him before springing this on them.....I know he supposedly was not allowed to have any contact with team and vice versa but he was all buddy buddy with Kiko and a few others who could have relayed info, etc.......maybe the Fins knew in advance but I seriously doubt it with Gase saying "it was news to us":

Doesn't bode well for the team or Dion the Doper if he was being deceptive about it.
 
I don't know the rules exactly but this Jordan thing seems like a move so we can keep everyone on the roster until he is ready to fully participate......smart move!
