DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -- Miami Dolphins defensive end Dion Jordan has been reinstated by the NFL on a conditional basis after sitting out last season for his latest violation of the league's substance abuse policy.
Commissioner Roger Goodell notified Jordan on Friday, when the Dolphins held their first training camp practice.
Jordan may join the Dolphins and participate in meetings and conditioning work, the league said. Once arrangements have been confirmed regarding Jordan's clinical resources, he will be permitted to take part in all preseason activities, including practices and games.
Before the start of the regular season, Jordan will meet with the league. Based on his compliance with his recovery program, he will be permitted to participate in all regular season activities beginning in Week 1.
