Fluker with an injury settlement. The team placed Fluker, who had a minor procedure on his knee, on injured reserve last week, with the expectation that an injury settlement was going to follow. The move will allow Fluker to sign as a free agent with another team once he is fully recovered. He started training camp on the reserve/physically unable to perform list.</p> <p id="aCs0H4">Fluker joined the Dolphins as a free agent this offseason, signing a one-year, $1.075 million deal. He began his NFL career as a first-round pick of the San Diego <a href="https://www.boltsfromtheblue.com/">Chargers</a> in 2013, playing with them through 2016. He then spent a year with the <a href="https://www.bigblueview.com/">New York Giants</a> before signing with the <a href="https://www.fieldgulls.com/">Seattle Seahawks</a> for the 2018 and 2019 seasons. In 2020 he played for the <a href="https://www.baltimorebeatdown.com/">Baltimore Ravens</a>. He has appeared in 108 games in his career, including 96 starts.</p> <p id="i5vhYo"></p></div>
