Dolphins worked out these 8 players on Tuesday

The Miami Dolphins have consistently looked to improve their roster this year, as general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan and head coach Jeff Hafley have turned over the bottom of their roster and a chunk of their practice squad regularly in 2026.

That seems to be a trend that will continue throughout their tenure together running the Dolphins, and it certainly continued on Tuesday, with Miami bringing in eight players for workouts.

While no signings were announced on Tuesday, the Dolphins could choose to add one of them in the coming days before their Week 9 battle with the Detroit Lions, so let's look at who they brought in.

QB Connor Bazelak

Bazelak, 26, played collegiately at Missouri from 2019-21, indiana in 2022 and Bowling Green from 2023-24. He went undrafted in 2025 and spent his rookie season and this past offseason with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

In 58 games between the three schools, he completed 63% of his passes for 12,349 yards, 66 touchdowns and 39 interceptions.

WR Brady Boyd

Boyd, 24, played at Minnesota in 2021, Texas Tech from 2022-24 and Utah State in 2025. He went undrafted this year and spent the offseason with Jacksonville Jaguars. In 48 games in college, he caught 67 passes for 934 yards and nine touchdowns.

WR Corey Rucker

Rucker, 24, split his college days between Arkansas State and South Carolina. In 61 games, he caught 256 passes for 4,111 yards and 28 touchdowns. The wideout signed with the Raiders as an undrafted free agent this offseason but landed on injured reserve before the season started.

DB Austin Brown

Brown, 23, played four years at Wisconsin from 2022-25, appearing in 50 games and recording 142 tackles, eight passes defensed, two sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. He spent the offseason with the Indianapolis Colts but failed to make the roster out of camp.

DB Peter Manuma

Manuma, 23, spent the last four years at Hawaii, appearing in 49 games and recording 280 tackles, 15 passes defensed, five interceptions, three forced fumbles and two sacks. He signed with the New England Patriots as an undrafted free agent, but they cut him in August.

DB Jerrick Reed II

Reed, 26, played at Northwest Mississippi Community College in 2018 before spending the final four years at New Mexico. The Seattle Seahawks took him in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. He spent 2023-25 with the Seahawks, 2025-26 with the Tennessee Titans and had a brief stint with the Arizona Cardinals this season. In 23 games in the NFL, he's recorded 24 tackles.

P Bryce Baringer

Baringer, 27, began his collegiate career at Illinois in 2017 and at Michigan State from 2018-22 before the Patriots took him in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. In 51 games for New England, he's averaged 47.9 yards per punt and 41.0 net yards per punt with 41.1% of his punts landing inside the 20-yard line.
