The Green Bay Packers claimed rookie offensive tackle DJ Scaife off of waivers from the Miami Dolphins on Tuesday, according to Field Yates of ESPN.

Scaife, an undrafted free agent out of Miami, was released by the Dolphins on May 13 following the team’s rookie minicamp.

Scaife (6-2, 321) played in 61 games and made 52 starts for the Hurricanes. He started games at right guard and right tackle and was a two-time All-ACC selection.

Given his size and athleticism, Scaife is likely an offensive guard prospect for the Packers. As a guard, his Relative Athletic Score (RAS) is 7.49.

Green Bay had an open roster spot after releasing safety James Wiggins on Monday.

Scaife joins Kadeem Telfort and Chuck Filiaga as the three undrafted rookies along the Packers offensive line, where 13 players from last season return.

Dolphins waive three UDFAs after rookie minicamp sessions

Well, that was quick.

After selecting four players in the 2023 NFL draft and signing 21 undrafted free agents, the Miami Dolphins began their rookie minicamp on Friday, which included all of those first-year players and others who received invites.

However, after just two days, the Dolphins have waived three members of their undrafted class – offensive linemen Jarrett Horst, Alex Jensen and DJ Scaife Jr.

Horst started in 34 of his 35 college games for Michigan State and Arkansas State. Jensen started 38 games at left tackle for South Dakota, earning second-team All-Missouri Valley honors twice. Scaife, who spent his collegiate career playing at Hard Rock Stadium, saw starts at guard and tackle, earning second-team All-ACC honors once.

It’s unclear what Miami’s coaching staff saw in just two practices to warrant moving on, but they acted swiftly, and now have four roster spots until they reach their 90-man limit.

With the current status of the offensive line, the Dolphins should probably still look to invest in the trenches somehow. Perhaps one of the various try-out players can earn a contract after the completion of rookie minicamp.
