Dolphins suspend LB Lawrence Timmons after he went AWOL

Dolphins suspend LB Lawrence Timmons after he went AWOL

The Dolphins have suspended linebacker Lawrence Timmons indefinitely for going AWOL in Los Angeles one day before Sunday's win over the Chargers.



Miami filed a missing persons report for the 31-year-old after he failed to show up for the matchup with the Chargers. He was reportedly found at the airport waiting to board a plane to Philadelphia early Sunday morning.

Timmons left the Steelers after 10 seasons to sign a two-year, $10 million deal to play for the Dolphins. He had played in 101 consecutive games before missing Sunday's game.

ESPN reported the incident was not something related to early onset CTE, but that they had never "seen anything like it."
