Miami Dolphins defensive tackle AJ Francis has insisted that he has no problem with the decision of Ndamukong Suh to work out by himself away from the club's facilities.

The Dolphins made Suh the highest-paid defensive player in the NFL when they signed him to a six-year deal at the start of free agency.

The 27-year-old participated in the first couple of the club's voluntary workouts before heading back to Detroit to train by himself, which Francis has claimed has had no negative response from the rest of the players.

"He came the first couple of days, we ran and he did his thing," Francis told the Palm Beach Post. "He went back to where he trains at. But that's what he does.

"He's the best d-lineman in the league so if he wants to train somewhere else that's his prerogative. And nobody can tell him otherwise."

Suh has recorded 239 tackles, 36 sacks and one interception in his five years in the NFL.
