Examining the Miami Dolphins' roster:
QUARTERBACKS (2)
Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin kept three quarterbacks his first two years. But expect that streak to end, as Seth Lobato didn't show enough to be Miami's No. 3.
RUNNING BACKS (3)
Williams, an undrafted free agent, had a good camp and preseason to unseat Miami draft bust Daniel Thomas.
RECEIVERS (7)
Seven is probably too many receivers. But Thigpen only counts as a kick returner.
TIGHT ENDS (3)
The Dolphins are thin behind Clay. Hoskins outlasted Michael Egnew and injured rookie Arthur Lynch.
OFFENSIVE LINEMEN (11)
Jason Fox
This group still has something to prove. The sooner Pouncey can get back on the field, the better.
DEFENSIVE LINE (8)
No issues here. The Dolphins are deep in the trenches.
LINEBACKERS (7)
I'm still not sure the switch between Ellerbe and Misi will drastically improve this unit. We will find out soon enough.
CORNERBACKS (4)
This group has experience in the starting lineup and youth on the second team.
SAFETIES (5)
Reshad Jones' four-game suspension opened up a spot for a bubble player at safety.
SPECIALISTS (3)
Sturgis' groin injury is concerning. But he has 10 days to get healthy before the regular season.
