The Miami Dolphins informed wide receiver Michael Preston that they would be releasing him, according to the player's Twitter account:
Released from the Miami Dolphins today. DONT ask me how or why lol. Great Organization, Great Staff top to bottom. Thanks for the Opp!

The move comes at an odd time, with the release happening a day after the team's second Preseason game and more than a week before the first roster cut deadline. It does open a roster spot for the club, if they are looking to sign someone, and it does allow Preston a chance to find another team before the third round of Preseason games and gives him a better chance of making another team's roster, but it was still a little surprising.
