The Miami Dolphins have seen another former player claimed off waivers, with guard Lester Cotton picked up by the New England Patriots. This move follows the Dolphins activating Isaiah Wynn from the Reserve/PUP list, leading to Cotton's release.

Cotton had a limited role with the Dolphins this season, primarily on special teams, despite starting eight games last year. Now with the Patriots, he joins a team facing potential playoff elimination.

The Miami Dolphins have made significant roster changes ahead of their Thanksgiving night matchup against the Green Bay Packers, most notably activating guard Isaiah Wynn from the Reserve/PUP list after his recovery from a quad injury.

To accommodate this move, the team waived guard Lester Cotton and replaced long-snapper Tucker Addington with Zach Triner on the practice squad. While Wynn's return raises questions about his starting position, it is unlikely he will play this week due to the short preparation time.

Austin Jackson, tackle for the Miami Dolphins, has been placed on injured reserve and will not return in 2024 due to a knee surgery requirement. Head coach Mike McDaniel indicated that Jackson's recovery timeline suggests he won't be back this season.

This injury marks the second time in three years Jackson's season has ended prematurely. Meanwhile, Kendall Lamm has stepped in as the starting right tackle. The Dolphins are also monitoring the status of left guard Robert Jones, who left a recent game due to injury.
