The Miami Dolphins had several surprises on their 53-man roster with undrafted rookies making the team. The result of that was Miami had to release some of its recent draft picks, which included three players from its 2016 draft class.
However, all three players -- quarterback Brandon Doughty, tight end Thomas Duarte and defensive back Jordan Lucas -- cleared waivers Sunday and returned to the Dolphins via the practice squad. These were players Miami’s coaching staff spent a lot of time developing and now that continues.
The Dolphins filled eight of their 10 practice slots.
