DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — Veteran cornerback Will Allen has re-signed with the Miami Dolphins after they were riddled for 517 yards passing by Tom Brady in the season opener.
Allen, who missed all of last season with a knee injury, rejoined Miami on Wednesday after being cut last week. He replaces nickel back Benny Sapp, whose contract was terminated Tuesday.
The Dolphins’ secondary was in need of a shake-up after a 38-24 loss to New England on Monday night.
Allen started 53 games for Miami from 2006 to 2009.
