The Miami Dolphins have completed their first full week of their 2022 training camp period and we are starting to see how the team will shake out this year. While a lot still has to be determined – especially since we are just reaching the full pads stage of the summer and preseason games have not even started yet – we can start to piece together an early version of the 53-man roster.
The Dolphins have some good depth at some positions, where there will be some tough cuts. They are shallow at some others, with players needing to step up and prove themselves the rest of the summer. Miami could also look to make a trade or sign players throughout the summer, either current free agents or players who are released later in the month.
The NFL limit for roster size is currently 90 players. On August 16, that number drops to 85 players. On August 23, it is down to 80 players. On August 30, the regular season limit of 53 players goes into effect.
