Dolphins face depth issues and injury concerns ahead of roster cuts
Summary

The Miami Dolphins are grappling with roster depth issues as they approach the final roster cut deadline on August 30, 2026. The team, currently considered one of the youngest in the NFL, is dealing with a lack of depth, having only approximately 45 legitimate NFL players available. Injuries have compounded these concerns, with rookie linebacker Trey Moore, who will be sidelined for the foreseeable future after suffering a recent injury during a preseason game against the New York Giants. Meanwhile, the Dolphins have made roster moves, including the addition of linebacker Jaheim Thomas and upgrades for players recovering from injury, as they try to strengthen their lineup.
