The soap opera that is Dolphins’ linebacker position takes another turn

The Dolphins’ linebacker unit, which they thought had been sufficiently addressed during this offseason, has provided a slew of storylines this season, few of them good.

And there were more news on Wednesday:

• Neville Hewitt, who was on the team’s 53-man roster the previous two seasons, was promoted from the practice squad to the 53.

• Coordinator Matt Burke indicated he was happy with how Chase Allen played at middle linebacker on Sunday after the release of Rey Maualuga, stopping short of saying the job is Allen’s permanently but suggesting he has no reason to make a change.
