The Miami Dolphins are bringing back edge rusher Seth Coleman-Lyles, according to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, adding him back into the mix after waiving him earlier in the month.
It’s the latest move in a roster that has been in constant motion as Miami heads toward Preseason Week 2. Coleman-Lyles originally joined the Dolphins on a futures contract after the 2025 season, giving him another path into the team’s plans after a winding start to his pro career.
He entered the league in 2025 as an undrafted free agent out of Illinois, first landing with the Seattle Seahawks before being cut during final roster moves. Coleman-Lyles later spent time on the Indianapolis Colts’ practice squad during the season, though he never appeared in a game.
His college résumé at Illinois was a productive one. In 56 games with 42 starts, he piled up 183 tackles, 15.5 sacks, 15 passes defensed, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.
Miami’s need for bodies up front has been clear. The Dolphins were beaten by the Washington Commanders last week in a game that highlighted how thin the roster can get, and the team responded with a wave of moves that included adding defensive tackle Cam Rice. The Dolphins were also without defensive linemen Zach Sieler and Kenneth Grant during Monday’s training camp practice.
Next up, Miami hosts the New York Giants in a joint practice later this week before the teams meet in Preseason Week 2 this weekend.

Dolphins Offensive Line Is Turning Heads Before A Bigger Test Arrives
The Dolphins starting offensive line has started to settle in just as the preseason ramps up, and the early signs have been encouraging. Limited reps against the Washington Commanders offered a first look, and the group carried that momentum into later practices, where Jonah Savaiinaea and Austin Jackson drew praise for both run blocking and pass protection. For a unit that has been under the microscope all summer, showing clean work in practice matters as much as any single snap.
Behind the starters, the depth chart is also taking shape in a way Miami needs it to, especially with the bigger tests still ahead. Caeden Wallace has been standing out since the trade, giving the Dolphins a useful backup option while the coaches sort through the rest of the interior mix. And with Jamaree Salyer now out for the season, the room has even less margin for error, which only raises the importance of every strong practice rep between now and the next real game.

Quinn Ewers Suddenly Faces A Real Dolphins Question
The Dolphins got their first preseason look at 2026 in a loss to Washington, and the more revealing part may have been what happened behind the starter. Quinn Ewers, working through a groin injury, never found much rhythm in the opener, finishing with one completion on eight throws for 27 yards and an interception as Miami continued sorting out the backup quarterback picture behind Malik Willis.
For a team trying to build around Willis and clarify its long-term depth chart, Ewers uneven showing adds another layer to a decision that already mattered. Preseason is still early, and one game is only one game, but Miami now has a real question to answer about how much trust it can place in Ewers if it needs him to be more than just an arm in camp.
