  "account": "The Miami Dolphins have bolstered their backup quarterback position by acquiring Green Bay Packers' Kyle McCord, who recently demonstrated his skills in the preseason finale. McCord, who had thrown four touchdown passes in that game, joined the 53-man roster after the Dolphins cut veteran linebacker Tyrel Dodson. The decision to add McCord came on the same day the team placed a series of personnel moves into effect, including cutting Dodson and signing second-round pick Jacob Rodriguez. With these changes, the Dolphins aim to solidify their position battle in training camp and provide a more reliable option in the backup quarterback role.",
  "summary": "The Miami Dolphins are going with rookie Jacob Rodriguez over Tyrel Dodson and effectively made a swap of backup QBs as they cut the roster to 53.",
