Miami Dolphins activate Matt Roth, could play against Jets

Roth, who missed more than 2 1/2 months of practice with a mysterious groin injury, has been activated off the reserve list, the Dolphins announced Saturday.

To make room for Roth on their 53-man roster, the Dolphins have released 2009 fifth-round pick John Nalbone. That leaves the Dolphins with just two tight ends -- starter Anthony Fasano and Joey Haynos -- on their active roster.

Its been a strange year for him

Sparano: Joey Porter, What is best in life?

This move is made almost mandatory..

Crowder isnt playing, so we need an extra LB. It looks like they are gona play some new stuff to fit so many OLB in the line up

I will see the Dolphins win a SUPER BOWL before i die(22 years and counting)

emergency TE should be...

Jason Taylor and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him make an impact on offense. Someone needs to serve that role and I can’t see anyone else filling it.

Any word on Nalbone passing through waivers?

Miami also downgraded

inside linebacker Channing Crowder from doubtful to out because of a shoulder injury.

I kind of like it with JT now taking over Roths old spot this would move Roth to the inside and I think he would be a better fit as an inside LB

They can't. He's on IR.

Bring back Wilford! Lol. I’m just kidding. Please don’t.

I think that Roth could make a good ILB for run situations

and bring in Torbor for passing situations

Ronnie Brown is the man

Roth will at least minimize the PT JP and JT get... hopefully maximizing effort

We need to go to a 4 man rotation at end. Our pass rush was not good last game. We had to overload blitz just to get any. That wasn’t a bad thing in the first half but the Saints went MAX protect and tore us apart

I probably know Judo! How many of you can make the same boast?
