The Miami Dolphins entered the 2022 season without Byron Jones and Trill Williams at cornerback, so they were already short on depth at the position.
Then, in a Week 6 battle with the Minnesota Vikings, pending free agent Nik Needham suffered a torn Achilles, ending his season as well. With no time left on his contract beyond the end of the year, it’s possible Needham has played his last snap for the aqua and orange.
Prior to the start of free agency, Needham took to social media to share a video of his workouts that he’s doing this offseason to prepare for his return from the Achilles.

His injury is one of the toughest to come back from, as Dolphins fans know all too well, considering Jones just missed an entire season due to having surgery on his Achilles last offseason.
Hopefully, everything heals correctly for the former undrafted cornerback, and he’s able to return and perform at the level that he was prior because he was improving each year.
