Miami Dolphins release defensive tackle Robert Nkemdichi

Robert Nkemdichi, a former first-round draft pick of the Cardinals, was picked up off waivers earlier this year when the Cardinals finally opted to release their former prospect. Now he is a free agent.

After being released for the second time this year, Nkemdichi cleared waivers and can now sign with anyone who will have him. There was some speculation that Nkemdichi was having some issues with tardiness but head coach Brian Flores called those rumors false.

Flores said he liked the player and wished him the best but that they needed the roster spot. In his place, the Dolphins added cornerback Marcus Sherels and also added running back De’Lance Turner.
