Dolphins' Alterraun Verner: Exits with hamstring injury
Rotowire
Verner injured his hamstring and is considered questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
The Dolphins were already playing without starting cornerback Cordrea Tankersly (ankle), and Verner's absence will further diminish their depth at the position. The severity of Verner's injury isn't clear.
Verner was signed by the Dolphins on Tuesday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Verner was released by the Buccaneers in February after notching a career-low 16 tackles in 16 games throughout the 2016 season. He added just 11 total passes defensed and two interceptions during the last two seasons combined. He'll have a solid shot at making the Dolphins' final roster, but Byron Maxwell (ankle), Xavien Howard and Bobby McCain will likely be ahead of Verner on the Week 1 depth chart.
