The Miami Dolphins are facing intense pressure as the 2024 season hits a crucial stretch. With a 2-6 record, every game is now a must-win, leaving no room for error.
In Week 10, they embark on a challenging cross-country trip to take on the Los Angeles Rams on “Monday Night Football.” Ahead of this matchup, Miami made a significant roster adjustment that could signal further changes.
The backup defensive lineman, who played in all eight games this season, was likely released to make space on the roster. This spot seems earmarked for wide receiver, expected to return from injured reserve.
Hi’s journey with the Dolphins has been inspiring. The 25-year-old made headlines last year during training camp, becoming the first Alaska native in nearly a decade to earn a spot on an active NFL roster. As an undrafted rookie, He appeared in four games before moving to the practice squad last November.
This move could be a strategic step, as Miami hopes to retain him on the practice squad if he clears waivers. His college career at USC (2017-22) highlighted his potential, with 74 tackles (29 solo), 3.5 sacks, four passes defended, and one forced fumble over 52 games.
“We have waived him,” the team announced on X.
