The Miami Dolphins cut running back Jonas Gray on Tuesday, the team announced. Rookie running back Jay Ajayi returned from injured reserve last week and rushed for 41 yards on five carries Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, which made Gray expendable.
Gray was signed earlier this season after he was released by the reigning Super Bowl champion New England Patriots. He rushed for 122 yards on 31 carries (3.9 yard average) this season.
The Dolphins hoped Gray would provide a consistent power running game to complement starter Lamar Miller, but that wasn’t the case.
