What happened: Miami cleared Anderson from the active roster Sept. 21 at inside linebacker, one day after Anderson joined the active roster with Ronnie Harrison Jr. on injured reserve. The transaction opens a spot on the 53-man roster ahead of Week 3 preparations.

Why it matters: Inside linebacker depth turned over twice in two days around Harrison's placement for the San Francisco game. The open spot gives Miami flexibility for a practice-squad elevation or outside addition without another corresponding cut.

What to watch: Watch whether Anderson returns on the practice squad and who fills the open roster spot this week.
