Practice squad signings announced by the Dolphins include names across multiple position groups, reflecting a strategic approach to maintaining depth at key roles. The current list of signed players features: offensive tackle Gottlieb Ayedze, safety Major Burns, tight end Jeremiah Franklin, quarterback Mark Gronowski, running back Jarquez Hunter, edge rusher Rodney McGraw, wide receiver Jalen Reagor, linebacker Cam Riley, and running back Carlos Washington Jr. Several additional practice squad spots remain vacant, highlighting ongoing evaluation and potential new additions in the coming days.
It’s important to note how the practice squad is structured under the collective bargaining agreement. Up to six players on a team’s practice squad can be designated as veterans, defined as players with three or more accrued seasons. Jalen Reagor is an example of a veteran designation on the Dolphins’ current practice squad. The remaining spots offer flexibility for the coaching staff to sign recently released players or others who fit the team’s plans, subject to league rules and roster needs.
As rosters continue to be adjusted, many of the recently released players from the 53-man roster could end up on the practice squad in the near term. The Dolphins’ approach suggests a careful balance between preserving experienced contributors and developing younger talent in a system that emphasizes depth, competition, and versatility.
For fans following the Dolphins’ summer moves, the emphasis remains on building a responsive, resilient practice squad capable of supporting a competitive season. While some positions are locked in early, the open seats leave room for strategic additions as the NFL landscape evolves through the preseason.
