Recapping the Wednesday Moves ... Plus More Former Dolphins Updates

The shaping of the Miami Dolphins roster continued in full force Wednesday, with moves in the morning and afternoon.

The latest official moves involved the signing of veteran tackle Kendall Lamm, who was released by the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday and wasn't subject to waivers as a vested veteran.

To make room on the active roster, the Dolphins placed third-year cornerback Cam Smith on the Reserve/Non-Football Illness. That will force Smith to miss at least the first four regular season games, and if he returns, he would count against the limit of eight return designations — Dolphins already have used two on Jason Sanders and Andrew Meyer.

The Dolphins placed long-snapper Blake Ferguson on NFI last October and he wound up never returning to the team.

GM Chris Grier announced the Cam Smith move during his annual post-cutdown press conference Wednesday morning.

"With NFI, we don’t really talk about what’s going on," he said. "We’ve had other players here that have done that. Cam had some of his best ball the past two weeks. He’s been really good, so we’ll see what happens. We’ll work through it and then we’ll see what happens down the road.”

PRACTICE SQUAD SIGNINGS

The Dolphins also officially announced 12 of their practice squad players, with the initial group featuring all players who were waived or released Tuesday, except for kicker Riley Patterson.

The other 11 official members of the practice squad are safety John Saunders Jr., cornerback Cornell Armstrong, cornerback B.J. Adams, linebacker Quinton Bell, offensive linemen Braeden Daniels and Josh Priebe, wide receiver Theo Wease Jr., tight end Hayden Rucci, wide receiver A.J. Henning and defensive tackle Alex Huntley.
