The Dolphins have already started digging for help, and Tuesday brought a couple of small moves that could matter if Miami wants to patch over some obvious problem spots.
They added another long snapper, Luke Basso, to the practice squad, a sign that Tucker Addington’s injury may be more serious than it first looked. With two long snappers now added, Addington could be headed to IR. Miami also brought in edge Andre Jones from the Buffalo Bills’ practice squad, and he figures to help on special teams after working under ST coordinator Chris Tabor.
There may still be more work to do. The Chiefs’ practice squad has two names the Dolphins know well: Emmanuel Ogbah and Kader Kohou.
Both are veterans who could still help in the league, and both would address spots where Miami needs better play right now. Kohou would give the Dolphins another option inside and could let Chris Johnson move to the boundary.
Jason Marshall Jr. has not played well, and Johnson has struggled at nickel. Kohou handled the slot solidly, even if he had issues on the boundary, and the coaches would value his attitude and work ethic.
Ogbah is the more familiar fix. He was one of Miami’s better pass rushers for five seasons before the team had to cut him loose to clear cap space.
He may not be the same player he once was, but the Dolphins’ edge group has been a mess, and anything close to steady production would help. Miami is the only team without a sack this season, and the depth behind the starters has been especially ugly.
Last year with the Jaguars, Ogbah had just a half sack after posting five sacks in each of the previous two years with Miami.
The Dolphins do not need to chase big names or spend heavily. They just need help, and Ogbah and Kohou both fit that description.

Kadyn Proctor Just Got A Reality Check Dolphins Fans Will Appreciate
Kadyn Proctor didnt leave Week 2 with just another game on his rsum. The Dolphins rookie left guard also got a chance to talk with 49ers Pro Bowl tackle Trent Williams, a postgame exchange that offered a glimpse into how quickly the NFL can humble even a first-round pick. Proctors early weeks have already come with the usual lessons that come for every young lineman, and hearing it straight from one of the leagues most established veterans only adds weight to the learning curve.
Williams message was the kind Miami fans will appreciate because it reinforces what the Dolphins need from a rookie on the interior line: resilience, not perfection. Proctor was told to keep moving past mistakes and keep improving, which is the kind of advice that matters most for a player trying to settle in at a demanding spot. For a team always trying to fortify its future, moments like this hint at the bigger developmental arc around Proctor and why his progress will stay worth watching. [Read more 🡒]
Dolphins Suddenly Have A Kicking Problem Fans Cant Ignore
Riley Pattersons shaky start to the 2026 season has already forced the Dolphins into an uncomfortable place. After misses in both Week 1 and Week 2, Miami had to treat a position that is usually easy to overlook like a roster concern, and head coach Jeff Hafley did not hide his frustration as the errors piled up.
The response came quickly, with the Dolphins bringing in three kickers for tryouts in Chris Freeman, Tanner Brown and Lucas Havrisik. For now, though, Miami has not made a move to sign any of them, leaving the team with a live issue at a spot that can swing close games long before the bigger problems show up. [Read more 🡒]
Dolphins Already Face An Ugly AFC Problem After Two Weeks
Two weeks into the 2026 season, the early AFC landscape is already taking shape around the teams that can control games rather than merely survive them, and Miami is staring up at a troubling picture. The 49ers have opened with the leagues best point differential at plus-42, the Seahawks are right behind them at plus-27, and the Dolphins are already near the bottom at minus-36, a reminder that the margin for error has disappeared before September is even over.
For Miami, the number matters because it reflects more than just an early stumble. A point differential that ugly puts the Dolphins in the same conversation as the leagues worst teams and leaves them with little room to argue they have been more competitive than the standings suggest, even with a long season still ahead. The AFC has already begun to separate into teams building a cushion and teams scrambling to avoid an early hole, and Miami has work to do before the gap turns into something harder to dig out of.
