Dolphins' Cordrea Tankersley: Aiming for backup role
Tankersley (knee) will compete for a backup cornerback role in training camp, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Tankersley spent the entire 2019 campaign on the PUP list due to an ACL tear that had limited him to just six games in 2018. Now fully healthy, the 26-year-old will get an opportunity to compete for a reserve gig in camp, but if he's unable to impress, Tankersley could be at risk of losing his roster spot.

Dolphins' Cordrea Tankersley: Won't return from PUP list
Tankersley (knee) wasn't activated off the PUP list Wednesday and will be out the rest of the season, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Dolphins' Cordrea Tankersley: Starting camp on PUP list
Tankersley (knee) was placed on the physically unable to perform list by the Dolphins on Sunday.
Tankersley is dealing with a torn ACL that he suffered in November and is still looking at a few months more of recovery according to his timetable of 9-to-12 months. The 25-year-old's absence won't affect the defense much, considering Bobby McCain and the recently signed Xavien Howard will be back for 2019 after taking a significant portion of the cornerback snaps last season. Tankersley can come off the list at any time, but it's likely he won't be ready to start the regular season.

Dolphins' Cordrea Tankersley: Not participating in OTAs
Tankersley is still dealing with a torn ACL and is not practicing during OTAs, Omar Kelly of The Sun Sentinel reports.
This news isn't surprising, given the fact that Tankersley suffered the injury in early November and was looking at a 9-to-12-month recovery. Furthermore, Tankersley is likely to land on the physically unable to perform list to start the season, per Kelly. The 25-year-old's absence won't effect the defense much, considering Bobby McCain and recently-signed Xavien Howard will be back for 2019 after taking a significant portion of the cornerback snaps last season.

Dolphins' Cordrea Tankersley: Suffers torn ACL
Tankersley (knee) will miss the rest of the 2018 season after suffering a torn ACL in Thursday's practice, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Tankersley popped up on the injury report Thursday with the knee issue, but it wasn't revealed until a day later that his limitations in the session were the result of a significant setback. The 24-year-old has played only 29 defensive snaps this season, so Miami is unlikely to feel a major impact as a result of his absence.

Dolphins' Cordrea Tankersley: Pops up on injury report
Tankersley (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Tankersley is a surprise addition to Miami's injury report after having participated in practice without issue to begin the week, and he should be considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets. Tankersley has played only 29 defensive snaps this season -- all of which came in Week 6 -- so the Dolphins' defense likely wouldn't suffer if the second-year pro were to miss any time.
