Dolphins Assistant Coach Jim Caldwell To Take Leave For Health Issue

DAVIE (CBSMiami/AP) — With training camp just weeks away, the Miami Dolphins will be without one of the integral members of its coaching staff.

Miami Dolphins assistant coach Jim Caldwell will take a leave of absence to address health issues that he says “require my full attention.”

Caldwell was hired in February to be the Dolphins’ assistant head coach and quarterbacks coach. He was expected to help in the development of second-year quarterback Josh Rosen, who is rebooting his career after a shaky rookie 2018 season with the Arizona Cardinals.

Caldwell will instead spend this season as a consultant.
