The Lowdown on the Dolphins Practice Squad
The Dolphins ended up signing 17 players to their practice squad because they had two players who do not count against the 16-player limit.
One is Durval Queiroz, who gets an exemption because of his international practice player status.
The other is wide receiver Antonio Callaway, who officially has been suspended by the NFL. While the NFL transactions log didn't provide a length for the suspension, NFL Network reported it's for seven games.
The other 15 include 12 players who were waived by the Dolphins, along with two other familiar faces — quarterback Jake Rudock and cornerback Javaris Davis, who was in training camp this summer.
The two newcomers are defensive back Brian Cole, a rookie seventh-round pick from Mississippi State, and defensive lineman Nick Coe, a rookie free agent from Auburn.
The dozen players brought back after being waived Saturday are RB Salvon Ahmed, WR Matt Cole, DB Tae Hayes, DB Nate Holley, T Jonathan Hubbard, LB Kylan Johnson, DT Benito Jones, WR Kirk Merritt, TE Chris Myarick, DE Tyshun Render and CB Ken Webster.
