Isabella Frias-Imagn Images The work continues for the Miami Dolphins . Miami cut the roster down, then filed a whopping seven claims off the waiver wire. Shortly thereafter, several of their recent cuts have been locked into practice squad spots. There’s about half of the openings still available. But these seats are filling up fast. Here’s where things currently stand for the Miami Dolphins’ practice squad as chaos across the NFL continues to unfold. Seats on the Miami Dolphins’ 2026 practice squad are filling up fast Jun 2, 2026; Miami Gardens, FL, USA; Miami Dolphins quarterback Mark Gronowski (16) runs onto field with other quarterbacks during mini camp at Baptist Health Training Complex. Isabella Frias-Imagn Images The Dolphins announced an early batch of practice squad signings. It’s worth remembering: these roster spots are generally week to week and they do not offer guaranteed salary. It’s safe to expect some regular turnover with this portion of the roster. But early seats claimed should be considered a nod of respect to their outlook in the eyes of the coaching staff and front office. Here’s the announced signings, plus the remaining open seats: OT Gottlieb Ayedze SAF Major Burns TE Jeremiah Franklin QB Mark Gronowski RB Jarquez Hunter EDGE Rodney McGraw WR Jalen Reagor LB Cam Riley RB Carlos Washington Jr. VACANT VACANT VACANT VACANT VACANT VACANT VACANT The collective bargaining agreement between the NFL and the NFLPA allows for six of the 16 total players on a team’s practice squad to be classified as “veteran” players . Those are players with 3+ seasons of accrued seasons. WR Jalen Reagor counts as one such player. The Dolphins have ample flexibility with the rest of their open spots. If they wanted to add recently released players like Clelin Ferrell? They easily could. But the team’s scouring of the rest of the NFL landscape could offer some more enticing opportunities, so nothing is assumed. But as of right now, Miami has 7 openings and just released 8 players off of their 53-man roster to accommodate today’s moves. I’d suspect most of those eight releases will land on the practice squad tomorrow.
