Dolphins activate former first-round pick off IR, release QB
The Miami Dolphins are getting back one of their top young defenders this week, after he missed the first four games on injured reserve.
Miami Dolphins reinstated defensive lineman Kenneth Grant from injured reserve ahead of his season debut, while simultaneously releasing quarterback Brady Cook. Grant, selected as the first-round pick of the Miami Dolphins in the 2025 NFL Draft from Michigan, showcased his skills twice as All-Big Ten and once as All-American. During his rookie year, he played an impressive 52% of the team's defensive snaps in 17 games, tallying 33 tackles, five quarterback hits, two sacks, and a pass defensed.
With Grant's return, he will rejoin his starting position at defensive line alongside Zach Sieler. To accommodate Grant's return, the Dolphins have let go of Brady Cook, who has been inactive for the first four weeks after being claimed off waivers from the New York Jets. There is a possibility for Brady Cook to return to the practice squad within a few days if he passes through waivers.
