Dolphins release DL Benito Jones

Miami cuts their last defensive player.

The Miami Dolphins are near the end of their roster cuts, as the deadline nears at 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday.

On Tuesday afternoon, the Dolphins announced that they released defensive lineman Benito Jones. Jones signed with Miami as an undrafted free agent after the 2020 draft, and he spent part of his rookie year on the practice squad and part on the active roster and then spent all of 2021 on the practice squad.

In a preseason that he needed to really show out to make the team, Jones recorded seven total tackles, two for a loss, but with all of the talented players ahead of him, it was too much to overcome.

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