Dolphins Update 53-Man Roster Projections Ahead of Preseason Clash

With the Miami Dolphins gearing up for their third preseason game, the latest projections for the team's 53-man roster have been released. Following a recent loss to the New York Giants, adjustments are being made to reflect player performances and injuries.

The quarterback situation appears stable unless there are unexpected developments with Ewers' injury or Miller's performance. The running back depth has been bolstered by the recent trade for Jarquez Hunter, indicating concerns over Ollie Gordon II's rib injury. This move provides the Dolphins with additional flexibility at the position.

In the fullback role, the Dolphins have listed tight end Sims as the starter, raising questions about Herman's chances of making the final roster. Meanwhile, linebacker Stephen Dix, Jr. was signed, complicating Herman's prospects further as he may end up on the practice squad.

On the offensive line, Cole Turner has shifted from being cut to injured reserve, while Ethan Conner has been released. The Dolphins are evaluating their options at center, with DJ Campbell and Josh Priebe also in contention for roster spots.

At wide receiver, the projected roster remains largely unchanged, with Malik Washington and three rookies expected to secure their positions. Jalen Reagor's status is uncertain, as he competes for a spot primarily for his special teams contributions. Overall, the Dolphins face critical decisions as they finalize their roster ahead of the regular season.
