"If that's what it is, I'm ready," said Sheppard, a former LSU standout who has started 31 NFL games for the Bills and Colts during his four-year career."I've been a starter in this league for three years prior to me coming here. If that's what the challenge holds I'm definitely up for the task."
The Dolphins (7-6) have spent all week getting Sheppard ready to serve as the team's inside linebacker, and they hope his run-stuffing presence can help the team clog up the defense's leaky run lanes, which have allowed opponents to produce 661 rushing yards and score four rushing touchdowns the last three games.
During his NFL career Sheppard, a 2011 third-round pick, has contributed 208 tackles, three sacks and one safety.
