    The Dolphins waived receiver Tanner McEvoy on Tuesday, getting them down to five receivers. They also placed defensive lineman William Hayes on injured reserve.

    Miami will fill one of the roster spots with the expected signing of veteran linebacker Martrell Spaight, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Spaight played in 30 games with seven starts in the three seasons after Washington made him a fifth-round pick in 2015. He has 87 career tackles. Washington cut him Sept. 1, and Spaight worked out for the Patriots four days later.

    The Dolphins also released quarterback Bryce Petty off injured reserve.

  3. Redskins fans were raving about getting Spaight in the 5th rd of the draft. They were so excited about him. They also say at the time (a few years ago) He's a tackling machine!
    Anyone have any other intel? on him? How he fell off the NFL map recently?

    Uh, what about a DT? We are down two guys and need some depth for rotation. I'm fine with a run stopping LB, but I'm more afraid the DL will be worn down by New England.

    The Dolphins worked out several veteran defensive ends on Tuesday, but didn’t sign any of them and that led to speculation that they’d be promoting from within to fill William Hayes‘ spot on the 53-man roster.

    That’s precisely what happened on Wednesday. The Dolphins announced that they have promoted Jonathan Woodard from the practice squad. Hayes is officially on injured reserve after tearing his ACL last Sunday and the Dolphins also announced the signing of linebacker Martell Speight to take the spot vacated by wide receiver Tanner McEvoy’s departure.

    Woodard was a seventh-round pick by the Jaguars in 2016 and missed his entire rookie year after tearing his Achilles. He was waived by Jacksonville last September and split the season on practice squads in Atlanta and Miami. He had eight tackles and a sack for the Dolphins in the preseason this year.

    Andre Branch is expected to miss multiple weeks with a knee injury, leaving Woodard, Cameron Wake, Robert Quinn and Charles Harris as the healthy defensive ends in Miami.
