Impending free agent cornerback Kader Kohou has been fully cleared medically seven months after undergoing surgery for a partially torn ACL, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The news was shared by his agents, David Canter and Ness Mugrabi of Aura Sports Group, via "The Insiders."
The surgery was performed exactly seven months ago today by Miami Dolphins team physician Dr. Gautam Yagnik. The medical clearance marks a significant milestone for Kohou, who has spent the last several months in rehabilitation following the injury. By reaching full clearance ahead of the new league year, Kohou enters the free agency market without the injury designation looming over his status.
Kohou has been a productive member of the Dolphins defense since signing as an undrafted free agent out of Texas A&M-Commerce in 2022. His ability to return to the field just seven months after a partially torn ACL highlights an efficient recovery process. Teams in need of secondary depth are expected to take note of his availability and health status as the signing period approaches.
