The Miami Dolphins announced Saturday the elevation of practice squad defensive tackle Benito Jones and cornerback Tae Hayes. Both players will be eligible to play in Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams, giving Miami additional depth on the defense for the contest. The Dolphins only have 52 players on their active roster after placing defensive tackle Davon Godchaux on injured reserve.
Jones, an undrafted free agent rookie, was also elevated for Miami’s game against the New York Jets in Week 6, adding depth following Godchaux’s injury.
