Miami Dolphins starting cornerback Kader Kohou will miss the entire season after suffering a knee injury during Saturday’s practice.
Coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday that the Dolphins will place Kohou on injured reserve.
Kohou suffered the injury during one-on-one drills early in the practice and limped to the locker room with a member of the team medical staff.
“I saw him ascend to a different level [this offseason],” McDaniel said. “The timing of it — I was crushed until I talked to Kader, and honestly Kader made me feel a little bit better, simply by his mindset.
“You don’t know the whys all the time when things happen, and I get concerned for guys who get stuck in that world of a fixation for ‘opportunities lost.’ Kader’s mindset triggered like that, to where he said ‘This is tough but I guarantee I’m going to come back better.’ That is the way to approach both the game of football and life.”
