Dolphins waive two defenders with starting experience ahead of training camp

The Miami Dolphins continued their pre-training camp roster purge by releasing two defenders who had starting experience a season ago.

The Dolphins waived former University of Miami linebacker Trent Harris and former starting defensive end Avery Moss on Sunday, trimming their roster down to 83 players before training camp begins on Tuesday.

NFL teams can enter training camp with up to 90 players but must reduce their rosters down to 80 by Aug. 18 due to league-mandated coronavirus precautions.

If the Dolphins wish to remain above the 80-man threshold, they must split practice sessions into two groups: one for rookie and second-year players, and another for all other veterans.
