Cameron Goode with some bad acting after a headbutt by Johnny Hekker
Johnny Hekker has a powerful leg. The Carolina Panthers’ punter also has a headbutt that would make the late Bobo Brazil proud.
Watch as he knocks over the Miami Dolphins’ Cameron Goode, who is 6-foot-3 and 245 pounds.
What a flop 😂 pic.twitter.com/5s3tMNKdTo

Then again, in the NBA,Goode would have been flagged for flopping.
Goode and Miami got the best of Hekker and the Panthers on the day.
As for Bobo Brazil:
He was elevated in the first three games.
The Miami Dolphins opened up two spots on the active roster on Friday when they placed River Cracraft on injured reserve and Erik Ezukanma on the reserve/non-football injury list.
On Saturday, Miami filled one of those spots, as they’ve signed linebacker Cameron Goode to their active roster from their practice squad, according to his agent.
Goode was elevated for each of the Dolphins’ first three matchups of the season. He’s played 48% of the team’s snaps on special teams and 7% of the snaps on defense.
If Miami wanted him to play again this year, he was out of elevations and had to be added to the 53-man roster.
A veteran wideout gets his first elevation.
The Miami Dolphins are set to take on the Denver Broncos on Sunday afternoon at Hard Rock Stadium in a game that could see Mike McDaniel’s team to 3-0 to start the 2023 campaign.
Ahead of the game, Miami elevated wide receiver Robbie Chosen and linebacker Cameron Goode to the active roster.
Chosen was brought in as a free agent this offseason, and following a strong start to the offseason program, he struggled to make many plays in the preseason. He may be providing more help if Jaylen Waddle, who is in concussion protocol, is inactive.
Goode is up for the third time in three games, as he’s been assisting on special teams.
Players are only allowed to be elevated three times from the practice squad to the active roster, so Chosen has two more elevations, while Goode will need to be signed to the 53 if the Dolphins wants to use him again in 2023.

The undrafted players did more than those who were selected.
The 2022 Miami Dolphins didn’t reach the heights that they would’ve liked, but they still found their way into a playoff game for the first time in six years and lost by just three points to a team that was one of the best in the league.
While Mike McDaniel’s team got a great deal from the veterans, some of the first-year players made an impact on the field as well.
Today, we’ll take a look at the seasons of four rookies that the Dolphins used draft picks on, as well as some that they didn’t.
Here’s who’s sticking around from the practice squad.
With the Miami Dolphins 2022 season officially coming to a close on Sunday, the restrictions that force teams to keep their active rosters at 53 players are lifted, allowing teams to sign up to 90 players.
Once a team is eliminated they can sign a number of players to reserve/future contracts which adds them to the active roster through the spring and summer.
On Monday, the Dolphins signed these seven players from their practice squad to such deals:
He’s definitely a practice squad candidate.
The Miami Dolphins are continuing their roster cuts, as they aim to get down to 53 players by the 4 p.m. deadline on Tuesday.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Dolphins are releasing rookie linebacker Cameron Goode. Goode joined Miami this offseason when he was selected in the seventh round of this year’s draft out of the University of California.
With all of the depth that Miami has on the edge, Goode’s performance in the preseason wasn’t enough to earn him a spot on the roster, but as a rookie, it would make sense that the Dolphins would like him back on the practice squad if given the opportunity.

The highest-ranked Dolphin at these positions might be a bit surprising.
With the end of another NFL offseason insight, football fans are eagerly awaiting the release of the newest installment of the Madden video game series, Madden 23.
After the release of wide receiver and tight end ratings on Monday, EA Sports, the publishers of the game, released EDGE defender and linebacker ratings on Tuesday. The Dolphins have a top 10 linebacker and a top 10 defensive end, according to Madden.
Here’s a look at most of Miami’s EDGE defenders and linebacker ratings for launch and how they compare to other players at the same position
There will be more ratings coming out before the game’s release on August 19.

Here’s how much the first-year players are making.
The Miami Dolphins have signed their full four-man draft class from 2022 in the last couple of months, and the team now has $16.52 million left in cap space for the year.
They’re expected to get varying results from each member of the class, with some potentially getting significant reps while others shouldn’t touch the field this season.
Here’s a quick look at the terms for the Dolphins’ selected rookies from this spring as provided by Over the Cap.
Check him out as a Golden Bear.
The Miami Dolphins were without picks in the first two rounds of the 2022 NFL draft, so their first selection wasn’t until the end of the third round. However, with their third pick during the three-day event, general manager Chris Grier drafted California linebacker Cameron Goode.
Goode joins a linebacker room that has a ton of talent, including Jerome Baker, Jaelan Phillips, Andrew Van Ginkel, Melvin Ingram and others. Considering his draft position and the state of the Dolphins roster at this point, Goode will have a lot of work to do if he wants to make that final 53-man at the start of the season.
Before he gets that opportunity, here are some of the best pictures of Goode during his time as a Golden Bear.
Let’s see what the young guys look like.
With the 2022 NFL draft and the schedule release in the books, the Miami Dolphins have turned their focus to instruction, as their first-year players and some tryouts are on the field for rookie minicamp this weekend.
Players are working out during the three-day event and are going over the basics of what the Dolphins want from those who make the final roster. Position coaches, coordinators and head coach Mike McDaniel are on hand to provide that instruction.
A number of beat writers, as well as the Dolphins’ social team, have put out some videos showcasing the work being done on the field.
