So much for the D.J. Fluker experiment with the Miami Dolphins.

The Dolphins put the former first-round pick on injured reserve, essentially ending his time in Miami.

Teams can bring back an unlimited number of players after three games once the 53-man roster has been established, but being placed on IR at this time means Fluker is done for the season unless the Dolphins let him go with an injury settlement and he ends up signing with another team.

I didn't expect Fluker to start, but this is a big blow to the veteran depth on the line. I also expected Fluker to be a part of the "jumbo" packages the Phins like to use in short yardage.

Oh well...gotta hope everyone else stays healthy. DJ Fluker, we hardly knew ye - lineman lands on IR 1f62c

#Dolphins guard D.J. Fluker underwent meniscus surgery today, per source. That's why he went on injured reserve. Injury settlement likely coming and should be ready to go in 3-4 weeks.

I suppose the Phins could bring him back if they feel they need another vet presence on the OL at that point???

It's no Fluker we have guys retiring from injury. I think a good injury history is the first prerequisite of a Grier pick or signee!

LOL yes, we do sign an awful lot of players with injury histories! But I also feel like more players are getting injured these days...getting harder to find anyone that plays 16 games a season (well, now 17 games...)
