Defensive tackle Kendrick Norton has been waived by the Miami Dolphins after losing his arm in a car crash earlier this month – but will receive his full salary as he transitions to life after football.

Norton, 22, was placed on the reserve/non-football injury list Sunday after his left arm was amputated following a July 4 crash into a concrete barrier on State Road 836 near Miami in his 2017 Ford F-250 after cutting in front of a 2015 Maserati Quattroporte, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

With the move, Norton is now eligible to receive his full 2019 salary of $495,000 while his medical bills continue to be paid by the Dolphins and the NFL, ESPN reports.

The 6-foot-3, 300-pound former Miami Hurricanes standout was released from the hospital on Thursday after having at least six surgeries for injuries he sustained during the crash, in which he received a citation for an improper lane change and was ordered to pay a $179 fine.

“I just want to give a big thank-you, first of all, to God for me still being here,” Norton told reporters last week. “Second of all, to Jackson Medical Center – they did a great job. They took great care of me while I was in here.”

Norton also thanked the “Miami Dolphins family” for their support following the traumatic crash that ended his football career. The team’s coach, Brian Flores, as well as general manager Chris Grier and several of his former teammates, have visited him in the hospital.

Both Norton and his 34-year-old female passenger were not suspected of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol prior to the crash, according to a Florida Highway Patrol incident report obtained by The Post. No one else suffered significant injuries as a result of the crash.

Norton, who joined the team in December, was selected in the seventh round of the 2018 draft by the Carolina Panthers. After not playing a regular-season down last year, Norton was expected to compete for a starting spot on the Dolphins’ defensive line for the upcoming season, but he’s now receiving occupational therapy as he continues to recover from his injuries, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.
