Dolphins project 53-man roster as 2026 training camp enters final stretch
Miami Dolphins have outlined their projected 53-man roster for the 2026 season, with key players including Malik Willis, Quinn Ewers, De'Von Achane, and Jordyn Brooks listed in the current projection.
The Miami Dolphins have released a projection of their 53-man roster two weeks into training camp for the 2026 NFL season. The announcement comes as the club approaches the final roster cutdown, which is scheduled for 30 August.
The projection outlines the current standing of players across various positions as the team prepares for the regular season. Quarterback evaluations feature Malik Willis and Quinn Ewers, with Cam Miller noted as an additional player to watch. The running back group is anchored by De'Von Achane, alongside Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon II, while Donovan Edwards, Anthony Hankerson, Carlos Washington Jr, and DJ Herman are listed as additional contributors.
In the receiving corps, the projected roster includes Malik Washington, Caleb Douglas, Kevin Coleman, Jalen Tolbert, Tahj Washington, and Chris Bell. The tight end position lists Greg Dulcich, Will Kacmarek, and Ben Sims, with Seydou Traore, Cole Turner, and Jeremiah Franklin available as additional options.
Defensive personnel projections highlight a significant number of players across the line and linebacker units. The defensive line and edge rusher group features Chop Robinson, Josh Uche, Trey Moore, Clelin Ferrell, Zeek Biggers, Zach Sieler, Kenneth Grant, David Ojabo, and Jordan Phillips. Inside linebacker duties are projected to involve Jordyn Brooks, Tyrel Dodson, Willie Gay, Jacob Rodriguez, Kyle Louis, and Ronnie Harrison.
The secondary and special teams units round out the projection. Cornerbacks JuJu Brents, Chris Johnson, Jason Marshall Jr, Marco Wilson, Ethan Bonner, and Alex Austin are listed, with Storm Duck and Darrell Baker noted as potential PUP projections. The safety group includes Dante Trader, Lonnie Johnson, Zayne Anderson, Michael Taaffe, and Louis Moore. Special teams duties are projected for Riley Patterson, Bradley Pinion, and Tucker Addington.
While the current projection sets a baseline, the Dolphins face a single cutdown during the preseason, a shift from historical formats that spread reductions over multiple camp phases. The final determination of the 53-man roster will occur on 30 August, concluding the evaluation period that began two weeks ago.
