Dolphins News: Roster Cut to 60

*** DOLPHINS NEWS ***
Aug 20, 1996: -- Roster Cut to 60 --

DOLPHINS NEWS:

The Dolphins announced the cuts they had made today to bring the roster down to 60. The following players were cut:

	OT Ethan Albright 
	CB Dorian Brew 
	CB Kirk Pointer 
	WR Kirby Dar Dar
	WR A.C. Tellison
	WR Sir Mawn Wilson 
	QB Dan McGwire 
	S Walter Smith 
	DT Lamar Mills 
	LB LaCurtis Jones 
	FB Lee McClinton 
	TE/FB/LB Dewayne Dotson 
	DT Ed Hawthorne

Also, Jeff Cross was officially placed on the Physically unable to perform list. ESPN is also reporting that Bert Weidner (ankle) and Kevin Brothen (knee) were placed on injured reserve. If true, they would be gone for the year with relatively minor injuries and that doesn't seem quite right.

However, the Dolphins Endzone's report is a little more obscure. Their exact words are that Brothen and Weidner are "waived injured to reserved injured with minor injuries". What that means, I'm not sure, but it may be that there is some bizarre in-between state where they're not actually on injured reserve but on something like the PUP list.

Also in the news, the trade of Terry Kirby to San Francisco was finalized, leaving the Dolphins with 60 players on the roster.

My Comments:

The biggest surprises on the list were Dorian Brew and Kirk Pointer, because they were drafted by JJ fairly high. Also a little surprising was the loss of LaCurtis Jones, although I hadn't really heard much about him in the preseason.
