Ex-Miami Dolphin Keith Sims: I expect Laremy Tunsil to start season as backup

It may be the last thing Dolphins fans want to hear, but hear it, they must.

Laremy Tunsil, on the bench when the Dolphins open the regular season at Seattle on Sept. 11? Is that even fathomable? How? Why? And who says?

To answer the last question first, someone who knows exactly what Tunsil’s transition is like is the one saying it. Keith Sims, one of the best guards in Dolphins history, said Tuesday that he wouldn’t be surprised if Tunsil begins his rookie season as a backup despite lofty expectations from the moment he was drafted in the first round.
