Dolphins Cut Veteran Slot Corner Mike Hilton in Preseason Roster Move

The veteran was a spring add after Kader Kohou’s season-ending injury left Miami thin in the slot.

Overview

  • Multiple reports confirm Miami released Hilton during preseason roster trimming after a brief offseason stint.
  • Hilton joined the Dolphins earlier in the offseason to bolster depth following multiple cornerback injuries, including Kohou’s loss.
  • He played 16 games for the Bengals in 2024, recording one interception and 73 tackles.
  • Cincinnati moved on after four seasons with Hilton, with reporting citing a poor fit under new defensive coordinator Al Golden.
  • The former Steelers standout began his career on a futures deal and built a reputation as a downhill, blitz-capable slot corner.
