Dolphins MLB Rey Maualuga (hamstring) expects to make his season debut against the Titans in Week 5. Maualuga has been slow to recover from a hamstring injury but has practiced all week and expects to finally make his Dolphins debut in Week 5. He earned PFF's No. 55 grade out of 59 qualifiers at inside linebacker last year and was one of the league's worst run defenders.

That is a welcome addition because Maualuga, 6-2 and about 260 pounds, is a downhill linebacker tackling machine. At least that’s what he’s been so far in his career. He adds a physical nature to the Dolphins defense on run downs to improve the unit in that department.
