Dolphins claim safety Julius Wood off waivers from the Cowboys

Summary

The Miami Dolphins claimed defensive back Julius Wood off waivers on Monday. Wood, who previously played for the Dallas Cowboys, became available after the team released him during final roster cuts on Sunday. During the preseason, Wood recorded 16 tackles across three games and participated in 104 defensive snaps. Despite his performance, he did not secure a spot on the Cowboys' 53-man roster.
