DAVIE—The
Dolphins are counting down the days until T.J. McDonald steps in at safety once his NFL suspension concludes. He’s been out the first three games and will miss the next five before returning for Miami’s Nov. 13 game at Carolina.
During his suspension, McDonald is allowed to work out at the facility and attend meetings. He do pretty much everything except for practice. The Dolphins are intent on making this time worth something even if he can’t play, and would theoretically keep him ready to get to work right away once he’s cleared.
