The Miami Dolphins released the necessary players to get down to 53 on the roster. Not a single one of those released was claimed by another team during the waiver process. One player, however, wasted no time finding another job.
Some believe that joint practices are more beneficial than the preseason games. The evaluations can happen over a one- or two-day session. While teams get to evaluate their own players, they also get a glimpse at players who might not make the opposing team's roster. That's precisely what helped wide receiver Erik Ezukanma.
The Dolphins released Ezukanma on cutdown day, and although the Jacksonville Jaguars didn't submit a waiver claim, they soon added him to the practice squad.
