The Miami Dolphins’ best practice squad options on defense

The Miami Dolphins’ best practice squad options on defense

CB Tae Hayes

Hayes was claimed off the waiver wire from Jacksonville in December of 2019. In the two games he played afterwards, Hayes was strong in coverage. He was targeted 16 times in those two games, giving up only 4 completions. But the Dolphins’ overhaul of the secondary makes Hayes a tough sell to keep on the active roster — there are a ton of coverage options ahead of him. If Miami can push him through waivers, a practice squad designation for this promising young cornerback is a no-brainer.
