Dolphins Shuffle the Depth Chart: Tanner Wall Signs, Ahmari Harvey Claimed
Miami adds two undrafted rookies to the secondary and cuts two players to make room — but neither move belongs on your fantasy radar yet.
Third team in one offseason; nothing to act on until a role appears.
- Wall signed to Miami's active roster
- Harvey claimed off waivers from Steelers
- Both entered NFL undrafted in 2025
- Harvey spent ~1 month in Denver before Pittsburgh
- Dolphins cut QB Gronowski and S Brown for room
The Dolphins spent Friday quietly reshaping the back end of their roster, signing safety Tanner Wall to the active roster and claiming cornerback Ahmari Harvey off waivers. To clear the two spots, Miami waived quarterback Mark Gronowski and safety Omar Brown — a classic late-summer depth reshuffle rather than a headline splash.
Both newcomers share a résumé line: undrafted this spring. Wall came out of BYU and latched on with the Raiders before Vegas cut him loose earlier this week. Harvey has already been on the move, spending a little over a month with the Broncos before landing in Pittsburgh — and now he's on his third organization since entering the league, released by the Steelers on Thursday.
For a fantasy audience, the honest read is simple: these are camp-and-depth transactions, not fantasy events. Neither player has an established defensive role in Miami, and the two players they replaced weren't rostered anywhere either. If you play IDP formats, keep an eye on the practice reports, but don't burn a bench spot chasing a name that's changed teams three times before Labor Day.
The one thread worth pulling is what this says about Miami's secondary. Adding two young defensive backs while cutting an existing safety suggests the Dolphins are still auditioning bodies rather than settling on their final rotation. That kind of churn usually signals a group that's a work in progress — relevant if you're weighing whether to stack against Miami's pass defense later this fall.
For now, Harvey is the marginally more interesting name simply because cornerbacks who bounce this often occasionally stick when they land the right special-teams fit. But interesting is not the same as actionable, and there's no verified production to hang a projection on.
Bottom line for fantasy managers: leave both Wall and Harvey on waivers in every standard and most deep IDP leagues. Revisit only if either climbs the depth chart in the next round of cuts or shows up with a defined role in Week 1 usage. Until then, this is a headline to note and forget.
