The Miami Dolphins released former Kentucky star Lynn Bowden Jr. Tuesday.
Bowden was set to enter his third year in the NFL in 2022, a career that has seen its share of hiccups. He suffered a hamstring injury that held him out of all of last season. Bowden had a promising preseason, but was cut before the 53-man deadline at 4 pm Tuesday in lieu of Miami’s talented wide receiver corps.
ESPN insider Adam Schefter broke the news Tuesday morning.

Bowden is a folk hero of sorts for Big Blue Nation. The do-it-all receiver entered his junior season on Biletnikoff watchlists, but moved to quarterback following injuries to Kentucky’s No. 1 and No. 2 options.
He kept moving around the offense his junior season. He finished the year with 185 attempted rushes for 1,468 yards and 13 touchdowns, 30 receptions for 348 yards and 1 touchdown and completed 35 passes for 403 yards, 3 touchdowns and 3 interceptions.
Talk about versatile.
Appreciate y’all Miami ?
