The Miami Dolphins drafted former Alabama WR Jaylen Waddle with the No. 6 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. But, they also had another former Alabama receiver on the roster — Robert Foster.
Foster had been playing well this preseason, but on Tuesday, the Dolphins announced they were waiving Foster with an injury designation.
What that means is the Dolphins can add him to their injured reserve if he clears waivers, but first, other teams will have a chance to claim him:

In the Dolphins’ most-recent preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons, Foster hauled in a nice touchdown pass from backup QB Jacoby Brissett:

Now, we’ll see if Foster ends up sticking in Miami or if another team claims him off waivers.
