Dolphins RB Le'Veon Moss retires shortly after signing
Summary

Le'Veon Moss, a rookie running back signed by the Miami Dolphins following the 2026 NFL Draft, has announced his retirement before the offseason training activities. The decision comes after a history of injuries, including a torn ACL and MCL in 2024, and multiple ankle injuries in the past year, which reportedly caused him to 'fall out of love with the game'. Despite strong college statistics at Texas A&M, Moss faced stiff competition for a roster spot in a deep running back room featuring De'Von Achane, Jaylen Wright, and Ollie Gordon II. His unexpected departure leaves the Dolphins evaluating their options ahead of the upcoming offseason.
