The focus over the next few days will be rightfully centered on which Miami Dolphins are going to make the team’s active roster. With cuts looming and every team looking to get to 53 active players, it will be a busy few days of transactions. But for the Dolphins, a team with so much youth on their roster, the designated practice squad spots will be important, too. Especially with the expanded practice squad spaces and the ability to flex practice squad players up to the active roster on game day, Miami will have to walk the line between retaining young developmental talent and keeping capable players “on call”.
Who are Miami’s best bets on the offensive side of the ball? Here are several names who stand out as good candidates.
OG Deion Calhoun
Calhoun started games for the Dolphins last season after latching on with the team as a UDFA. His level of play wasn’t inspirational but the team knows him well and his limitations are well established with the team — so if he is indeed called into action, Miami will know what should and should not be expected of him. And he’s still very young, so there’s hope for improvement.
