The Dolphins have been busy making roster moves in the wake of the Week 1 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. They have placed defensive tackle Earl Mitchell on injured reserve after he re-aggravated his calf injury against the Seahawks, waived rookie quarterback Brandon Doughty, and signed veteran linebacker Donald Butler and defensive tackle Chris Jones.
Jones was a standout during Dolphins training camp but he disappeared in the preseason, allowing Julius Warmsley to overtake him and earn the roster spot that presumably would have belonged to him otherwise. With Mitchell on IR, Jones steps right back in where he left off and can come in and play at any given moment.
