Dolphins roster cuts updates and rumors tracker 2019

The NFL Preseason is complete for the Miami Dolphins, which means it is time for the most painful part of the summer - NFL roster cuts. The team has to be down to the 53-man roster limit the league uses for the regular season by 4pm Eastern on Saturday.

The Dolphins will have some tough decisions to make at wide receiver as they decide on how many to keep on the roster, and which could potentially be stashed on the practice squad. Running back is also another strength of Miami, which backs will remain on the 53-man roster? Could there be a player or two traded for an elite pass-rusher like Jadeveon Clowney? Who impressed enough vs New Orleans to earn a roster spot?

We will track everything throughout the next couple of days, with all of it consolidated here in one place.
