The Miami Dolphins are set to take on the Carolina Panthers on Sunday afternoon at Hard Rock Stadium in a game that could see Mike McDaniel’s team improve to 5-1 to start the 2023 campaign.
Ahead of the game, Miami made two roster moves, activating offensive lineman Robert Jones from injured reserve and elevating tight end Tanner Conner from the practice squad.
Jones suffered an MCL sprain during Miami’s preseason battle with the Houston Texans. With left tackle Terron Armstead on injured reserve and center Connor Williams already out, the Dolphins needed the depth on the line.
Conner, in his second professional season failed to make the active roster this year after doing so as a rookie. However, he failed to record a single reception.
The Dolphins haven’t got much out of their tight ends beyond Durham Smythe so far in 2023, so Conner could provide some help.
Players are only allowed to be elevated three times from the practice squad to the active roster, so Conner can be elevated twice more throughout the season.
