The Miami Dolphins are making their final cuts to the 53-man roster, but in doing so, they have created a surprising hole no one expected when training camp began.
On Monday, the Dolphins released several players, but two of them were running backs. Following the season-ending injury to Alexander Mattison, the Dolphins added Aaron Shampklin and Mike Boone, but now both are gone.
Miami could bring one or both of them back to the practice squad, but clearly, the running back room is going to be a position the team has to address.
