Rey Maualuga’s Saturday: In jail. Out of a job.
The Dolphins cut the veteran linebacker hours after he was arrested in Miami-Dade early Saturday on battery charges. The details of his arrest were not immediately known.
Mauaulga, 30, had appeared in six games recorded 23 tackles for the Dolphins after signing here in training camp. Mike Hull will presumably take his place in the starting lineup when the Dolphins face the Buccaneers Sunday.
The arrest is the latest embarrassment for a franchise plagued by them in 2017. In the last three months, they suspended linebacker Lawrence Timmons for a game after Timmons disappeared the night before their season opener and fired offensive line coach Chris Foerster after video emerged of him snorting a white powder.
