Dolphins Waive Team Captain David Long Jr. to Add TE Jack Stoll

The Miami Dolphins made a surprising roster change by cutting linebacker David Long Jr. to claim tight end Jack Stoll off waivers.

David Long Jr., a team captain and former starting linebacker, was waived by the Dolphins after being benched two weeks ago.
Jack Stoll, a tight end formerly with the Philadelphia Eagles, was claimed by the Dolphins to bolster their tight end depth.
Long's release follows the acquisition of linebacker Tyrel Dodson from the Seattle Seahawks, signaling a shift in Miami's defensive strategy.
Despite leading the Dolphins in tackles last season, Long struggled with pass defense this year, contributing to his demotion and eventual release.
The Dolphins face upcoming games against the Las Vegas Raiders and New England Patriots, with hopes of improving their playoff chances.
