DAVIE — The Miami Dolphins are signing Brandon Doughty to practice squad, according to an NFL source.

Doughty was drafted by the Dolphins in the seventh round and made the initial 53-man roster, but the team needed his roster spot after a series of injuries, particularly to defensive players.
Ryan Tannehill and Matt Moore are the other Dolphins quarterbacks. Doughty beat out Zac Dysert in a close quarterback competition, though Doughty had the edge in the end because he was a draft choice of this regime.
Doughty had a strong start to camp and then faded as the preseason progressed. Still, the Dolphins view Doughty as a worthwhile developmental player and are surely glad he cleared waivers.

Fantastic news. Still think he should have a roster spot over Moore though. Doesn't really matter if it's Moore or Doughty that's backing Tannehill up, if Tannehill goes down, our playoff chances go out the window anyways. At least Doughty has the potential to grow. We already know what Moores ceiling is

Good news. Hope no one tries to claim him.

good news, accuracy and vision are two things you either have or you don't and they are traits to build on
