With the deadline to trim the roster down to 53-players on the horizon, the Miami Dolphins are getting a head start.
According to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald, the Dolphins have cut offensive tackle Jordan Mills and have released tight end Clive Walford with an injury settlement. Salguero noted that Walford was seen in a walking boot after suffering a right leg injury. Walford will be eligible to sign with a new team once fully healthy.
Mills, 28, played six seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bears, and Buffalo Bills before he signed a one-year, $3 million contract with the Dolphins this past offseason.
