Although Miami Dolphins FS T.J. McDonald will miss the first eight games of the 2017 regular season due to a suspension, head coach Adam Gase said the team plans to give him full reps over the next few months. McDonald is eligible to participate in organized team activities, next month’s minicamp, training camp and preseason games. He will be able to rejoin the club for Week 9’s contest against the Oakland Raiders Nov. 5, and is expected to compete for a starting job upon his return.
