Miami Dolphins are signing RB Coleman Bennett to a one-year deal. Bennett was with Chicago Bears this preseason, and now Via @AdamSchefter on X

What happened: Bennett spent the preseason with Chicago after joining the Bears in May. He returns to South Florida, where he grew up.

Why it matters: The move continues Miami's late-preseason roster churn after two additions and two waivers on Aug. 24. Bennett now enters the competition for a roster spot as the preseason winds down.

By the numbers: Bennett recorded 10 yards and one touchdown on four carries during his lone preseason appearance for Chicago.

What to watch: Bennett's practice reps and Miami's initial 53-man roster decision are the next markers.
