ON THE ROSTER
CAMP PREVIEW: TIGHT ENDS

Mike Gesicki — The 2018 second-round pick really came on in the final weeks of the 2019 season, catching five touchdown passes in the last six games after not getting into the end zone in his first 26 NFL games.

Chris Myarick — Myarick is back for a second season after spending all of 2019 on the Dolphins practice squad.

Michael Roberts — The former Detroit Lions player joined the Dolphins this offseason after missing all of 2019 following a failed physical (shoulder) with the Green Bay Packers.

Durham Smythe — Picked two rounds after Gesicki in 2018, Smythe has been a solid blocker for the Dolphins since arriving in Miami but he has yet to make an impact in the passing game.

Bryce Sterk — Sterk will be making the transition to tight end after playing defensive end first at the University of Washington and then at Montana State.
