The Miami Dolphins officially reinstated guard Isaiah Wynn to the roster on Monday, bringing the veteran offensive lineman off injured reserve.
To make room on the 53-man roster, the Dolphins waived Lester Cotton, the sixth-year veteran offensive lineman who has been with the team since 2022.
Wynn, 28, is a former first-round pick of the New England Patriots who joined the Dolphins on a one-year deal in 2023. He earned starting duties at left guard, but suffered a season-ending quadriceps injury in his seventh game with Miami.
The Dolphins re-signed Wynn to another one-year deal in the 2024 offseason, but he was unavailable as he continued to rehab his quad injury. Last week, Dolphins offensive line coach Butch Barry said the team was pleased with the progress Robert Jones had made instead of Wynn.
Cotton, 28, began his NFL career with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2019 and was signed to the Dolphins' practice squad for the 2022 season. If he clears waivers this week, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Cotton rejoin Miami's practice squad.
