Dolphins place Jay Ajayi on 53, waive Sam Brenner

Rookie running back Jay Ajayi had a disappointing camp because of injuries and inexperience, but the former Boise State standout shined in Thursday night’s exhibition game. Ajayi, who has been limited by a hamstring injury the past few weeks, gained 66 yards on nine carries and caught two passes for 37 yards. Ajayi’s night was cut short because of a chest injury he suffered in the third quarter.

The Miami Dolphins added Jay Ajayi to the 53-man roster on Saturday, putting the tailback in position to play in his first NFL game on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills.
