Miami Dolphins defensive end Dion Jordan has returned from his six-game suspension for multiple violations of the NFL's policy and programme on substances of abuse.

The 24-year-old will add another pass-rushing option for coach Joe Philbin, with the Miami defense ranked fourth in total yards allowed in the league at 313.7.

"It won't be tough. When you have good players you find ways to utilize them and he's certainly a very talented guy," defensive co-ordinator Kevin Coyle said, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

The 2013 number three overall pick will be added to a roster that has guided the Dolphins to a 3-3 record so far this season which leaves them third in the AFC East.
