The Miami Dolphins have placed linebacker Koa Misi on injured reserve today.
The move makes room on the roster for the Dolphins to add cornerback Bene' Benwikere off the waiver wire. The cornerback was cut Friday by the Carolina Panthers after he struggled to cover Julio Jones the previous Sunday, allowing Jones to have a good portion of his 300-yard day against the Panthers.
The Misi move is a stunner.
He'd missed the last two games with a neck injury but there was no public indication the injury was serious enough to have him miss potentially the remainder of the season.
