Fluker hasn’t played in an NFL game since Jan. 16, 2021, but the former Alabama standout hopes to return to the field in 2023. He participated in drills at Alabama’s pro day and reportedly lost 40 pounds.
Fluker signed as a free agent with the Miami Dolphins before the 2021 season but spent the season on injured reserve.
The massive offensive lineman played right tackle for Alabama’s 2011 and 2012 BCS national championship teams and was the 11th pick in the 2013 NFL Draft.
He played right tackle in his first two seasons and right guard in the next two with the San Diego Chargers.
Fluker started all 59 games he played for the Chargers before moving on to Seattle.
