Morning take: Reshad Jones on the rise

Here are the most interesting Miami Dolphins stories Wednesday from around the Web:

  • Chris Perkins of the Sun Sentinel writes about safety Reshad Jones, who believes he’s playing like one of the top safeties in the NFL.

Morning take: Jones had a stellar game against the Chicago Bears last week where he led Miami with seven tackles and an interception. He's been a strong addition for the defense following a four-game suspension.

  • Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald writes guards Billy Turner and Shelley Smith can’t crack the starting lineup.

Morning take: The Dolphins had high hopes for Turner and Smith when they were acquired in the offseason. However, injuries and having veterans in front of them kept Turner and Smith on the bench.

  • Alain Poupart of the Dolphins team site writes defensive end Dion Jordan is happy to be back.

Morning take: Jordan is coming off dual suspensions that cost him six games this season. Jordan must prove that he has his life in order and he's ready to produce.

  • Hal Habib of the Palm Beach Post writes the Dolphins must improve on special teams.

Morning take: This year has been a roller-coaster ride for Miami's third phase. The Dolphins have made great plays on special teams and awful plays. Building consistency is key.
