The Dolphins are bringing back Larry Johnson just five days after letting him go. The one-time Kansas City superstar was released Saturday in the Dolphins' final cutdowns. An injury to rookie running back Daniel Thomas forced Miami to reel him back in. You know it could be short termbut you also realize it doesnt have to be, Johnson told Jeff Darlington of the Miami Herald. It all depends on what you can do.
