Dolphins revamp practice squad, releasing quarterback Mark Gronowski

Teams across the NFL are forming their 2026 practice squads, with the Miami Dolphins signing eight players to their PS and releasing quarterback Mark Gronowski. The New England Patriots are filling their PS with a mix of veterans and depth pieces, including Mike Brown, Cameron Dorner, Kyle Dixon, Hassan Haskins, Lan Larison, Eric Gregory and Jeremiah Pharms, among others, with punter Wishnowsky a notable addition who could be elevated. The Patriots’ initial PS group, which includes Lorenz Metz through the IPP, leaves five standard spots open for further moves before Week 1. The Philadelphia Eagles completed their initial 2026 PS signings after announcing their 53-man roster, with rookies Deontae Lawson and Zion Wilson earning PS spots while Bernard and Weru went unclaimed to the PS. The Eagles also added outside players such as Kiran Amegadjie, Mason Reiger, and Jaydon Blue, and Howie Roseman indicated potential ongoing interest in Zach Ertz. Overall, teams are balancing immediate depth with developmental upside as they finalize rosters and practice squads ahead of the season.
