Dolphins add Brady Cook to practice squad in bye week move
The Dolphins bring back quarterback Brady Cook.
Miami Gardens, Florida - September 27, 2026 - The Miami Dolphins have bolstered their practice squad by adding undrafted rookie quarterback Brady Cook, days after releasing him from the active roster. This move comes following the Dolphins' loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, which has left them with a 0-5 record for the season. The Dolphins released Cook to create space on the 53-man roster for defensive tackle Kenneth Grant, who was activated from the injured reserve list.
To accommodate Cook on the practice squad, running back Jarquez Hunter was released. Hunter was signed by the Dolphins this summer, receiving a trade package of Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell in return. Hunter spent the preseason on the practice squad and never played a game with Miami. Cook, a 2025 undrafted free agent out of Missouri, appeared in five games and started four during his rookie season with the New York Jets.
He threw for 739 yards on a 57.5 completion rate. However, Cook was cut by the Jets at the end of the preseason and has not played since signing with the Dolphins. Miami's quarterback lineup currently consists of starter Malik Willis and backup Kyle McCord, with Cook stepping in as their third option at the position.
