Dolphins Claim Jared Wayne and Cut Ryan Miller From 53-Man Roster

Miami added the former Pittsburgh receiver to strengthen depth on offense after releasing a player who made a 77-yard touchdown but saw limited snaps.

Overview

  • The Dolphins announced they claimed wide receiver Jared Wayne off waivers and released wide receiver Ryan Miller to open a spot on the 53-man roster.
  • Wayne was a standout at Pittsburgh who earned All-ACC honors and entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Houston Texans in 2023.
  • Wayne has played sparingly in the NFL, appearing in nine games with six catches for 85 yards overall and four catches for 65 yards this season.
  • Miller played at Furman and had moved through Tampa Bay and New York before joining Miami; his career includes 30 games, 17 catches for 254 yards and four touchdowns and a 77-yard TD for Miami this year.
  • The transaction reflects routine midseason roster management to add pass‑catching depth and gives Wayne a chance for active snaps while Miller becomes a free agent.
