How will the Miami Dolphins address Tony Lippett's absence?
The Miami Dolphins find themselves scrambling to adjust to a season-ending injury yet again, this time it is in relation to defensive back Tony Lippett's (achilles) departure. With Raekwon McMillan's injury already impacting the depth at linebacker, Miami is now forced to find a way to replace Lippett's production at cornerback.
Miami has addressed the injury to McMillan by promoting Mike Hull to starting middle linebacker, as well as signing Florida native Junior Sylvestre to add depth to the position. It is unclear at this point what the Dolphins plan to do to replace Lippett's team-leading four interceptions from last season, but they do have options as the 2017 season quickly approaches.
