Dolphins evaluating ex-Cowboys WR Hurns

The Miami Dolphins will evaluate wide receiver Allen Hurns' health before deciding to make a contract offer, head coach Brian Flores said Thursday. The Dallas Cowboys, who released the 27-year-old veteran Tuesday, are also reportedly still interested in bringing him back at a reduced price.

Hurns caught 20 passes for 295 yards and two touchdowns in 16 games with Dallas in 2018 but suffered a dislocated left ankle and broken fibula in the NFC wild-card game against Seattle on Jan. 5. Before he was cut by the Cowboys, Hurns was due $4 million in base salary in 2019 with a salary cap hit of $6.25 million.

Hurns played his first four seasons in Jacksonville (2014-17). His best year with the Jaguars came in 2015 with 64 catches for 1,031 yards and 10 touchdowns, all career bests.
