Key Points:
- The Miami Dolphins added eight new players to their practice squad on Tuesday, including ILB Liam Anderson, EDGE Clelin Ferrell, EDGE Amari Gainer, DL Jordan Miller, WR Will Sheppard, CB Jaylin Simpson, DL Mazi Smith, and TE Tre Watson, while releasing quarterback Mark Gronowski.
- None of the players waived on Monday to make room for waiver acquisitions were re-signed to the practice squad, suggesting some may be seeking opportunities elsewhere.
- Notable additions include first-round pick DL Mazi Smith, who has yet to meet expectations after stints with the Cowboys and Jets, and EDGE Amari Gainer, who played primarily on special teams for the Raiders in 2024.
- Other newcomers include undrafted ILB Liam Anderson with limited NFL experience, CB Jaylin Simpson and WR Will Sheppard, both former Green Bay Packers players, and DL Jordan Miller, a former University of Miami player who spent time on the Broncos practice squad.
- These signings join the players added to the practice squad on Monday, rounding out the Dolphins' 2026 practice squad roster.
