What happened: The Miami Dolphins activated defensive lineman Kenneth Grant from the injured reserve list and waived quarterback Brady Cook. The organization also elevated edge rusher Rodney McGraw and running back Carlos Washington Jr. to the active roster.

Why it matters: Grant's return bolsters the defensive front for the upcoming matchup against Cincinnati. Cook departs after arriving via waivers in late August. Washington joins the active roster just days after being waived earlier this week.

By the numbers: Grant recorded 33 tackles and two sacks over 17 games in 2025. Cook previously completed 88 of 153 passes for 739 yards with two touchdowns and seven interceptions across five appearances for the Jets during the 2025 season.

What to watch: The adjusted roster takes the field against Cincinnati this weekend.
