Dolphins’ Misi in holding pattern, awaiting clearance

Several months after undergoing spinal fusion surgery in the wake of a neck injury early last season, Dolphins linebacker Koa Misi still has not been cleared by doctors to return to football activities, leaving his football status in question.

Misi saw a doctor in the past two weeks and plans to see one again before the start of camp in late July, according to a source. He remains hopeful about being cleared to play this season, but it’s impossible for anyone to know when he will be cleared.

Misi, 30, originally hoped to be cleared for football activities in May, but that did not happen and he was not on the field during the team’s offseason program that ended last week.
