The Miami Dolphins have made another roster move to reduce the size of the team to the regular season limit by this afternoon’s deadline. The latest move is the release of quarterback Zac Dysert:

Dysert is being cut by Dolphins, per source.

The release is not really a surprise, with Miami possibly only keeping Ryan Tannehill and Matt Moore at quarterback on the roster. Currently, rookie Brandon Doughty is still on the team as well, though he could be considered for a practice squad position if Miami thinks he can make it through waivers without being claimed.

There are 6 more cuts remaining after the Dolphins release Lafayette Pitts.

Dolphins cut cornerback Lafayette Pitts, per source, but requested he stay in town. So p-squad good possibility.

The winner of the fight for 3rd TE goes to Marquise Gray after the Dolphins released 7th round pick Thomas Duarte. Duarte will likely be a practice squad target and Gray will likley look over his shoulder this weekend for a waiver claim or vet pick-up.

Dolphins cut TE Thomas Duarte, per source. Expected to go on p-squad if not claimed.

Dolphins release Ulrick John. Earlier today we talked about the possibility of John staying on the team after Miami waived Sam Young. That was not to be the case. And to go with this 7th update, the Dolphins have 7 more cuts to make.

Dolphins waive Ulrick John, per source. So two backup offense tackles released in Sam Young and John.

Dolphins have released Jamil Douglas. Reports began to circulate via the rumor mill the last few days that Douglas was on the outs. It’s now apparently official ending another offensive line mid-round bust. Also releasing WR Rashawn Scott. 8 more cuts are expected.

Dolphins release Rashaan Melvin and TE Dominique Jones per the Miami Herald

still no Dallas Thomas. unbelievable
Maybe he will be on the final list:rolleyes2:

4:16 p.m.: The deadline has come and gone, and so we await the Dolphins’ official cuts list. It appears Jordan Lucas’ name will not be on it. The rookie cornerback had not heard from the club before 4 p.m., a source tells the Miami Herald, a sign that he’s safe. Meanwhile, the Dolphins have waived James Burgess, the Palm Beach Post reports.
