MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Miami Dolphins cornerback Byron Jones was not activated off the physically-unable-to-perform list on Tuesday and placed on the reserve/PUP list.
Jones will now be forced to sit the Dolphins’ first four games of the 2022 regular season after being held out of training camp and the team’s three preseason exhibitions.
Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel and general manager Chris Grier are expected to address Jones, along with the team’s cuts to get down to a 53-man active roster on Tuesday, in a late afternoon press conference on Tuesday. When McDaniel last updated Jones’ status on Sunday, he said the team had Tuesday “pinpointed” as the date for a potential return to the roster, “but it’s a fluid situation that has to do with him and a lot of other players.”
