Stephone Anthony’s pesky high-ankle sprain wasn’t a concern for Dolphins doctors, and Adam Gase suggested that Miami’s newest linebacker will be available for Sunday’s game against the Jets.
“He had a physical,” Gase said. “He was good.”
The Dolphins sent a fifth-round pick to New Orleans late Tuesday, getting back a former first-rounder who hasn’t been healthy all year.
While on the outside, it appeared that the trade was a direct result of the Dolphins’ suspending Lawrence Timmons indefinitely — the deal came just a couple hours after the suspension was announced — Gase said it pre-dated the drama of the last week.
