Jordan's entire Dolphins career has been filled with suspensions and injuries.

The former Oregon All-American was suspended for parts of the 2014 season and the entire 2015 season due to violations of the NFL's substance abuse policy.

In 2016, Jordan was sidelined with a knee injury and never made it on the field.

All in all, Jordan played a total of 26 games and made one start in four seasons with the Dolphins.
