The Miami Dolphins traded former Alabama RB Kenyan Drake to the Arizona Cardinals on Monday afternoon, opening up a spot on the active roster.
Now, ahead of a showdown with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football, that roster spot has been filled by another former SEC star.
Per a tweet from the team on Monday afternoon, former Ole Miss DL Robert Nkemdiche has been taken off the physically unable to perform list:

In 2018, Nkemdiche tore his ACL as a member of the Arizona Cardinals. However, Arizona apparently wasn’t too happy with his conditioning heading into the season and cut him.
It’s unclear if he’ll get on the field against the Steelers, but he has another chance to play in the NFL, even if it is with a currently winless team.
