Dolphins HC Joe Philbin told reporters on Tuesday that they haven’t ruled out the possibility of re-signing veteran TE Dustin Keller.
“He’s one of those guys we’re evaluating and considering like a lot of other free agents out there,” Philbin said, via the Miami Herald. “We’ll see.”
Miami signed Keller to a one-year, $4.25 million contract after he didn’t fair as well as he was hoping in the free agent market last year. Unfortunately for Keller, he suffered a horrible knee injury that included tears to his ACL, MCL, and PCL, while also dislocating his knee.
There are obvious concerns about him moving forward, but he still only 29 years old and his rehab is reportedly on track for the 2014 season.
We’ll have to see what the Dolphins elect to do at tight end given that there aren’t very many options available at this point in time.

I just can't see Dustin being ready to play after such a severe knee injury.

Did Adrian Peterson tear everything too and come back from that or was Keller's more severe?

Definitely not an easy task to rehab and come back as good as well as in time for next season.

Adrian actually tore both his ACL & MCL, but Keller tore ACL, MCL and PCL. I knew the severity was bad for both, but could not remember just that AP came back pretty quickly and is a freak of nature.

Lattimore that poor guy it is amazing that he is EVEN trying to come back from what like a 3rd tear in his life???

Isn't PCL what Hartline tore? Wow, thought it wasn't as severe. Yikes.

Keller's injury was about as bad as Daunte Culpepper's.

Remember how bad he looked once he couldn't run anymore. He never regained his freakish ability to run with the ball.

Wait for the guy to prove he's 100% healthy first. If he can pass a team physical, pass a thourough workout evaluation, and the team didn't already find someone in the draft, then he's a last minute option we could explore. But I honestly think we're going to enter the season with Clay, Sims, and Egnew as our TEs.
