Dolphins waive UDFA DL Owen Carney Jr.

Another UDFA doesn’t make the cut.

As the Miami Dolphins continue their efforts to trim their roster down to 53 players, they announce that they’ve waived undrafted free agent defensive lineman Owen Carney Jr.

Carney signed with Miami this offseason and immediately joined a strong front seven that didn’t have many spots up for the taking. While he showed some good things throughout the summer, his performances just weren’t enough to earn a spot on the final roster.

There is a possibility that he earned enough good favor with the team that he makes it to the practice squad after he goes through waivers.

2022 Dolphins position preview: Breaking down DLs ahead of camp

There probably won’t be too many changes this year.

Entering the first training camp under head coach Mike McDaniel, the Miami Dolphins don’t have Brian Flores to rely on for their defense.

Flores, with his defensive background, was given a ton of credit for the team’s success defensively, but without him, they’ll turn to defensive coordinator Josh Boyer, who is returning despite the change at head coach. Most of the same players on defense are also returning for 2022 and are ready to compete for their roles.

We’ve talked about quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, tight ends and the offensive line, but now, we’re jumping over to the other side of the ball and breaking down the defensive lineman.
