MIAMI (AP) Miami Dolphins defensive end Dion Jordan plans to apply Wednesday to the NFL for reinstatement after sitting out last season for his latest violation of the league's substance abuse policy.

Jordan's plans were confirmed Monday by his agent, Doug Hendrickson.

Jordan was the overall No. 3 selection in the 2013 draft but has contributed little so far in his career, and is serving his second suspension under the NFL substance abuse policy. His latest suspension began in April 2015, and he hasn't missed or failed any drug tests since while undergoing them once or twice a week, Hendrickson said.

Jordan's first suspension was for the first four games in 2014, and two more games were subsequently tacked on because of an additional violation.
