Dolphins cut Campbell, claim guard. And Uche’s request
Key Points:
- The Dolphins claimed Seahawks guard Christian Haynes off waivers after Seattle traded for Quinton Nelson, waiving rookie guard DJ Campbell to make room; this follows a similar move two weeks ago when Miami claimed receiver Jared Wayne after Houston acquired Marvin Harrison Jr.
- Edge rusher Joshua Uche, despite trade rumors, expressed a strong desire to remain with the Dolphins, praising head coach Jeff Hafley's passionate coaching style and the fun he’s having playing in Miami.
- Right tackle Austin Jackson, a free agent after this season, said he won’t inquire about his trade status, focusing instead on his play and accepting that roster decisions are out of his control.
- Rookie receiver Caleb Douglas celebrated scoring his first NFL touchdowns and a team win, highlighting his admiration for top receivers and leading the NFL in average yards of separation from defenders.
- Practice updates: Two players missed due to concussion protocol, eight were limited with various injuries, while key players like Malik Willis and Jaylen Wright practiced fully; coach Jeff Hafley expressed confidence in receiver Chris Bell despite the player’s concerns about his own performance.
