Miami Dolphins Finalize 53-Man Roster Cuts

As the Miami Dolphins prepare to finalize their 53-man roster, key decisions loom for coach Mike McDaniel and general manager Chris Grier after their preseason finale against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The emotional challenge of cutting players, especially undrafted ones, contrasts with the business side of the NFL as they weigh performance and potential. New league rules allow for two players to be designated for return from injured reserve, which could impact roster decisions; receiver River Cracraft is a likely candidate. Players like Erik Ezukanma and Chris Brooks face pivotal moments in this final game, where strong performances may secure their spots or lead to other opportunities. With cuts due by Tuesday, the stakes are high for those on the roster bubble, as many may not see another chance in the league this season.
