Dolphins trade Tutu Atwell to Rams for Jarquez Hunter

The Miami Dolphins traded wide receiver Tutu Atwell to the Los Angeles Rams for running back Jarquez Hunter on August 27, 2026. This move comes after a disappointing preseason performance by Atwell, who totaled just one reception for one yard. The Dolphins have made several roster changes this offseason to address depth issues, particularly following a 46-3 scoring deficit after their first preseason drive. Analyst Alain Poupart stated that trading Atwell was a 'no-lose trade' given his struggles to secure a roster spot. Hunter's addition follows the signing of another running back, Coleman Bennett, as Miami searches for depth at the position. The team faces the Atlanta Falcons in their preseason finale soon, where Hunter's availability is uncertain due to the timing of the trade.
