The Splash Zone 9/1/22: What Should Dolphins Do At Corner Without Byron Jones?

The Miami Dolphins had to make a decision on what to do with Byron Jones on Tuesday and the decision was to place the veteran cornerback on the PUP List. The hope was that Jones would be ready to go week 1 after getting surgery on his Achilles over the offseason. Chris Grier and Mike McDaniel did not want to rush Jones back, so he will be shut down for at least the first four weeks of the regular season. So what does the team do at cornerback till Jones gets back?

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