Dolphins defensive end Dion Jordan has been reinstated to the NFL on a conditional basis.
Jordan, who had been suspended for multiple violations of the league’s substance-abuse policy, was informed by Commissioner Roger Goodell today that he is conditionally reinstated. Before he can practice at training camp he needs to set up clinical services in Miami. He will need to meet with the NFL before the regular season to review his progress in order to be allowed to play in Week One.
The Dolphins liked Jordan so much heading into the 2013 NFL draft that they traded up to the third overall pick to select him. But he has started just one game, recorded just three sacks, and hasn’t been a part of the team at all since he was suspended in April of 2015.
Jordan’s camp has put out word that he is in great shape and ready to contribute to the Dolphins this season. He’ll be able to show that on the field soon.
