Dolphins place LB Brennan Scarlett on injured reserve

He had missed the last two preseason games.

The Miami Dolphins are continuing their roster cuts, as they must get down to 53 players by 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, per the NFL’s protocols.

According to NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe, the Dolphins have released linebacker Brennan Scarlett. Scarlett came to Miami last offseason as a free agent, recording 19 tackles in 13 games with a majority of his work coming on special teams.

EDIT: The Dolphins actually announced that Scarlett is being placed on injured reserve, ending his season.

The former Stanford Cardinal efforted a switch to an edge role this offseason, but an injury kept him out of practice and the last two preseason matchups.

Be sure to keep up with all of Miami’s roster moves via the cutdown tracker.
