There is really no such thing as a “final” 53-man roster because teams keep making personnel moves up to and even after the regular season opener.
That said, the Dolphins have the foundation of their 53-man roster in place after the cuts they made Saturday and the one move Sunday that saw them claiming wide receiver
Justin Hunter
off waivers from Tennessee and terminating the contract of fellow wide receiver Griff Whalen.
As it stands now, the Dolphins have 22 new players from the group that took the field against the Washington Redskins in the 2015 season opener.
The list of newcomers: QB
Brandon Doughty, RB
Arian Foster, RB
Isaiah Pead, RB
Kenyan Drake, WR
Leonte Carroo, WR
Jakeem Grant, WR Justin Hunter, TE
MarQueis Gray, OL
Laremy Tunsil, OL
Kraig Urbik, OL
Jermon Bushrod, OL

Jordan Lucas.
Other numbers from the current 53-man roster:
• The Dolphins roster includes eight former first-round picks and nine former second-round selections. The breakdown for the other rounds is six for Round 3, five for Rounds 4 and 5, three for Round 6 and two for Round 7. There are 15 players on the roster who entered the league as undrafted free agents, including former Pro Bowl selections Arian Foster,
Cameron Wake and
John Denney.
