The Miami Dolphins have some tough decisions to make. They\u2019ll need to make roster moves before their Week 7 matchup, but the real head-scratcher is who they\u2019ll cut when Tua Tagovailoa returns from his concussion, likely by Week 8.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s be real, some guys just haven\u2019t been cutting it. Duke Riley?<\/p>\n
Bringing him back in 2024 felt like a head-scratcher then, and it\u2019s looking even worse now. Penalties and mental mistakes are plaguing his game \u2013 not exactly what you want from a linebacker.<\/p>\n
Then there\u2019s Skylar Thompson. Look, the guy\u2019s got heart, but three years in, and he hasn\u2019t shown the growth you\u2019d hope for. It\u2019s tough to say, but that last snap he played might be his last in a Dolphins uniform.<\/p>\n
And don\u2019t even get me started on Julian Hill. The potential\u2019s there, but he\u2019s just not there yet.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s time to face facts: keeping him on the 53-man roster isn\u2019t doing anyone any favors. He needs time to develop, just not at the expense of the active roster.<\/p>\n
The Dolphins need to be ruthless. When Tua\u2019s back, Thompson\u2019s roster spot needs to be freed up. Maybe he lands back on the practice squad, but honestly, after this season, he might be better off looking somewhere else for work.<\/p>\n
As for Hill? Give those reps to Tanner Conner. The kid\u2019s hungry and deserves a shot to prove himself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
