The Splash Zone 8/13/17: Mike Hull Ready To Step Up

Welcome to the Splash Zone, the quickest way to get your day started off right. We bring you a rundown of Miami Dolphins news from the last 24 hours.

With the loss of Raekwon McMillan, the Dolphins must now turn to a different player to man the middle of the defense. That may fall on Mike Hull’s shoulder now as it seems he is the most likely to step up. For now, Mike Hull is the Dolphins middle linebacker but that may change as Kiko Alonso or Lawrence Timmons could make the move back inside.

You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day's round-up below.
