DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — Two-time Pro Bowl running back Larry Johnson has re-signed with the Miami Dolphins five days after they cut him.
The move may have been prompted by an injury to rookie running back Daniel Thomas, who sat out practice Thursday.
Johnson originally joined the Dolphins on Aug. 23 and scored on a 22-yard run in their final exhibition game — his first TD since 2008 with Kansas City. He sat out most of last season after his career was derailed by a series of off-the-field missteps.
Newcomer Reggie Bush will start at running back in Miami’s season opener Monday against New England.
