Dolphins Release QB White and TE Fortson Jr.

The Miami Dolphins announced the release of quarterback Mike White and tight end Jody Fortson Jr. White, who signed a two-year deal with Miami in 2023, lost the backup quarterback job to Skylar Thompson, who had a stronger preseason performance. Fortson, who joined the Dolphins in March after recovering from shoulder surgery, did not make a significant impact during training camp and preseason games. Wide receiver Anthony Schwartz was placed on injured reserve after suffering a knee injury, which will sideline him for the entire season. The Dolphins now face decisions regarding their final roster, particularly at the tight end position, ahead of Tuesday's 53-player roster deadline.
