The Miami Dolphins have released running back Jarquez Hunter, marking his second departure from the team this season. Hunter was originally traded to Miami from the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for receiver Tutu Atwell after De’Von Achane's injury necessitated his return. Previously drafted in the fourth round by the Rams, Hunter had minimal impact during his rookie year, contributing mainly on special teams. He showed potential in the preseason but did not record any stats in regular-season games last year with the Rams. Hunter is now a free agent and seeks a new opportunity in the NFL.
