LB Lawrence Timmons reinstated

The team announced the linebacker will rejoin his team and play in Sunday’s tilt versus the New Orleans Saints.

Timmons, who signed a two-year, $12 million deal with the Dolphins this offseason, missed the first two games of the season. Timmons went AWOL the Saturday before the team’s season-opening win over the Los Angeles Chargers, and did not play in the game Sunday. Miami then suspended the veteran linebacker indefinitely two days later forcing him out of the team’s Week 3 loss versus the New York Jets.

With the suspension lifted, the 11-year pro should slide back in Miami’s lineup after linebacker Mike Hull struggled during Timmons’ absence.
