Misi (neck) was placed on the Dolphins' Injured Reserve list Tuesday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Misi, who underwent season-ending neck surgery in 2016, recently failed a test that would've declared him healthy enough to play in 2017 if passed. The Dolphins selected Raekwon McMillan in the second round of this year's draft, so he'll now have a more direct route to playing time as a rookie with Misi sidelined for the year. It's an unfortunate series of events for the 30-year-old veteran, while it remains to be seen if Misi will ever be able to return to his original level of play.

Misi (neck) is expected to open training camp on the Dolphins' physically unable to perform list, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Doctors have yet to clear Misi to begin football activities after he underwent surgery last season to address a neck injury, which ended up limiting him to three games. Misi is said to be progressing through the rehab process and the team remains optimistic that he'll back on the field before the start of the regular season, but as of now, he's without a timetable for his return. Misi's indefinite absence will allow rookie second-round pick Raekwon McMillan to pick up more reps early on in training camp as he attempts to stake his claim to a starting role.

Misi (neck) is still awaiting clearance to return to the field, Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Misi underwent spinal fusion surgery after suffering a neck injury early in 2016 and was anticipating being cleared by May. However, that time came and went without Misi getting the thumbs up from a team doctor. The Dolphins likely would have cut him instead of restructuring his contract this offseason if they weren't optimistic he'll be able to play in 2017, but his impending availability is nonetheless far from guaranteed.

Misi (neck) has not practiced during the Dolphins' OTAs thus far, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Misi, whose 2016 campaign was shortened to just three games due to a severe neck injury, still has some time before he can practice again, according to Dolphins coach Adam Gase. Upon his eventual return to full health, he'll be able to provide solid depth at outside linebacker as he heads into his eighth consecutive year with Miami.

Misi (neck) restructured his contract with the Dolphins on Wednesday, Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Misi's contract was originally set to have a cap hit of $6.5 million but the restructured deal is undoubtedly less. The veteran linebacker played in just three games last season and has yet to be cleared to return to full activity. When healthy, he'll be one of the team's top reserve linebackers behind starters Kiko Alonso, Lawrence Timmons, and Neville Hewitt.

Misi (neck) will move to outside linebacker next season, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Apparently Misi wasn't thrilled about the move but the Dolphins believe their defense is better with this arrangement. Misi has never been the player the Dolphins imagined when they drafted him and could still be in line for a reduced salary or even released if the Dolphins make another addition at linebacker in free agency.

Misi (neck) anticipates being cleared for full activity around May 1st, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Misi was placed on injured reserve after just three games in 2016. It's unclear if the Dolphins will choose to keep him with the team or cut him, but he'll at least be at full health in time or most offseason work.

Misi (neck) is a potential salary-cap cut in the offseason, ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Misi hasn't stayed healthy for an entire season since 2010 and made it through just three games in 2017 before landing on injured reserve with a neck injury. The Dolphins, who are expected to have a major overhaul at linebacker this offseason after ranking 29th in total defense and 30th against the run, could save $4.2 million by letting him go.

Misi (neck) has been placed on injured reserve, Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Misi suffered a setback in practice leading up to Week 5 and was almost immediately ruled out for Sunday's game. Unfortunately, his injury appears to be severe in nature, and potentially career-threatening. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL.com, Misi may need spinal fusion surgery down the road, similar to the procedure Peyton Manning required. However, he'll first experiment if rehab alone can do the job, and thus remains without any sort of timeline to return.

Misi (neck) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Titans, Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Misi returned to practice in a limited fashion on Wednesday and Thursdays and was expected to return after sitting out Week 4. However, it appears he suffered a setback since he did not participate in practice Friday and will sit out another week. Look for Donald Butler to get the spot start once again.
