The Miami Dolphins trimmed their roster to 53 players on Tuesday with a flurry of transactions that included a few players landing on injured reserve and several getting waived and released.
While the initial group is set for now, it will certainly see more tweaks before the Dolphins officially begin the year with a Week 1 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Among the glaring issues with the first 53-man group are the absence of a long snapper and the fact that Miami currently has just four wide receivers, including two — Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle — who sat out the entire preseason due to minor injuries.
The Dolphins moved three players — River Cracraft, Cam Smith, and Wyatt Ray — to the injured reserve and designated Cracraft and Smith to eventually return. Miami also kept four players on the team’s injured reserve, including wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
With more tweaks undoubtedly on the way, here’s the Dolphins’ initial 53-man roster heading into the 2024 regular season:
