Injuries: Dion Jordan on NFI list; Foster activated

It remains to be seen if Dion Jordan will be back on the field for the Miami Dolphins in Week 1, but he'll be forced to miss at least the first few weeks of training camp.

The Dolphinsplaced Jordan on the active/non-football injury list Sunday after the defensive end recently underwent knee surgery, a source informed of his situation told NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport. The surgery wasn't considered major, Rapoport added, but it'll prevent the former No. 3 overall pick from passing a physical for a few weeks. Jordan suffered the knee injury during a private workout, Rapoport said on NFL Network's Inside Training Camp Live.

Speaking to reporters Sunday, Dolphins coach Adam Gase said the Dolphins didn't know about Jordan's injured knee until he met with the team. "That was news to us," Gase said.

The designation won't affect Jordan's future with the team or the conditions of his reinstatement, but he'll lose out on the $1.7 million bonus he would have received Monday if he were on the active roster.

The move comes two days after the NFL conditionally reinstated after being suspended for more than a year following multiple violations of the NFL Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse.

Gase said that Jordan "has a fresh start with him and that past events were "irrelevant."

In addition to placing Jordan on the NFI list, the team also activated newly signed running back Arian Foster (Achilles tendon) from the physically unable to perform list. Foster was placed on PUP Friday a little more than a week after he inked a one-year deal with the team.

Gase said Foster is "ready to go" after he "annihilated" his conditioning test.

The Dolphins also signed cornerback Brandon Harris and waived cornerback Tyler Patmon on Sunday.

Jordan has been cleared by the NFL to join the Dolphins at training camp and participate in meetings, conditioning work and similar activities. He will be allowed to take part in all preseason activities, including practices and games, once certain conditions of his reinstatement are fully met. If he meets all the criteria of his reinstatement, he will be allowed to play in the regular season for the first time since December 2014.

Here are other injuries we've been tracking on Sunday:
