The Miami Dolphins begin reducing their offseason roster to the required 53 players, announcing multiple cuts and releases as the weekend roster deadline approaches. Across several reports, the team is reported to waive and release players, including a rookie wide receiver and a second-year wide receiver, as it trims from a larger group down toward 53.
Reports also indicate the Dolphins complete additional roster moves after the initial phase, including a veteran cornerback being among the first cuts mentioned. One outlet further reports that, amid the cuts, Miami signs defensive lineman Malik Herring. The specific number and names of players moved vary by report, but the overall timing and target are consistent: getting the roster down to the league-mandated 53-man roster during the cut window.
Together, the sources depict a sequence of consecutive personnel transactions—waivers, releases, and at least one signing—driven by the team’s need to comply with roster limits.
