What It Means:

Schefter also reports that Timmons will play on Sunday morning as the Dolphins face the New Orleans Saints in London. It remains to be seen whether he'll take over starting duties from Mike Hull, who has struggled in place of the veteran backer.

Oddly enough, the Dolphins' defense ranks 4th against the rush but just 27th against the pass, per our metrics. Timmons, who posted 94 tackles and 3 sacks a year ago, should help to sure up things if he's ready to get back to that same level of play.
