Dolphins Sign Hilton, Jones to Revamp Secondary

The Miami Dolphins have strengthened their secondary by signing veteran cornerbacks Mike Hilton and Jack Jones following a string of injuries, the release of Kendall Fuller, and the trade of Jalen Ramsey. Hilton, a 31-year-old slot specialist with eight years of NFL experience, arrives after Kader Kohou suffered a leg injury and Artie Burns was lost to a season-ending ACL tear. Jack Jones, who had a standout 2024 season with the Raiders, adds starting experience and playmaking ability to the group. Hilton is valued for his versatility, leadership, and physicality, while Jones is recognized for his ball-hawking skills. These moves highlight Miami's urgent efforts to address both immediate injury concerns and a broader need for veteran depth as training camp begins. Hilton will also reunite with former Steelers teammate Minkah Fitzpatrick.
