The Miami Dolphins have begun trimming their roster ahead of the NFL's Tuesday deadline to reach the 53-man limit. One veteran was let go pretty quickly thanks to the play of one of the Dolphins' draft picks.
Rookie fifth-round pick Jason Marshall had a good camp and shined in preseason. He took over the nickel back role that became open when Kader Kohou was injured. Within days of Kohou's season-ending injury, the Dolphins added former Bengals nickel corner Mike Hilton. On Monday, Miami showed Hilton the door.
Hilton was supposed to take over for Kohou, but he struggled throughout camp and ultimately was surpassed by Marshall on the depth chart.
