The Dolphins began today with 82 players on the active roster. NFL rules required them to trim off two, dropping them to 80 players by 4 p.m. today.
The two players that got the axe were OT Allen Barbre and OG Tyler Donahue. Barbre was placed on injured reserve with an undisclosed injury and the rookie Donahue was waived.
Of course, the real cut-down deadline will be Saturday evening at 6 p.m. when the Dolphins will be forced to make 27 cuts in order to establish their 53-man roster. With the starters only getting limited action at most on Thursday night against the Cowboys, the spotlight will be on the roster fringe players in their last ditch effort to make an impression.
