A starting member of the Miami Dolphins defense recently had minor surgery.
A source told FOXSports.com that defensive tackle Paul Soliai underwent an arthroscopic procedure on his elbow. Soliai should be recovered and ready for the start of Miamis offseason workout program in April, the source said.
Soliai started all 16 games for the Dolphins in 2012, finishing with 29 tackles and 1.5 sacks. Soliai and Randy Starks formed a defensive tackle tandem that helped Miami finish 13th in the NFL in run defense with only 10 touchdowns allowed.
