Miami Dolphins Place CB Cam Smith On IR Among Roster Moves
The Latest News on the Miami Dolphins Roster
On Monday, the Miami Dolphins announced a series of roster moves, including placing cornerback Cam Smith on injured reserve. Smith, who has been battling a hamstring injury, will now miss at least the next four games. The Dolphins also waived long snapper Rex Sunahara and signed long snapper Blake Ferguson to take his place.
Smith’s injury is a significant blow to the Dolphins’ defense. The 23-year-old has been one of the team’s most consistent performers this season, starting all seven games and recording two interceptions. He will be replaced in the lineup by Nik Needham, who has played well in Smith’s absence.
Analysis:
The Dolphins’ decision to place Smith on IR is a smart one. The team is not going to rush him back from injury, and they want to make sure he is 100% healthy before he returns to the field. This will give Smith time to rest and rehab his hamstring, and it will also give the Dolphins a chance to evaluate Needham in the starting lineup.
The waiver of Sunahara is a bit of a surprise. The 29-year-old has been the Dolphins’ long snapper for the past two seasons, and he has been very reliable. However, the Dolphins must have seen something they liked in Ferguson, who was released by the New England Patriots last week.
Conclusion:
The Dolphins’ roster moves are all part of the team’s ongoing effort to improve. The team is 3-4 this season, and they are looking to make a playoff push. The addition of Ferguson and the return of Needham should help the Dolphins in their quest for a playoff berth.
