Running back Salvon Ahmed’s time is up in Miami. The Dolphins announced that they released Ahmed on Monday. He joined the Dolphins in 2020 and appeared in 38 regular season games for the team. He ran 163 times for 593 yards and five touchdowns to go with 40 catches for 274 yards and a score. Miami announced several other moves, including the previously reported signing of running back Anthony McFarland Jr. They signed another running back in Zander Horvath and also added linebacker Dequan Jackson and wide receiver Jadon Janke. Wide receiver Willie Snead and offensive lineman Sean Harlow were placed on injured reserve. They can’t be activated in the regular season, but can sign on with another team if they’re released off the injured list down the line. The Dolphins wrapped up the day’s moves by waiving linebacker Ezekiel Vandenburgh with an injured designation.
He had some moments for us. Looked great in his second game in 2020, when he had 85 yards and a TD against the Chargers, then 122 and a TD against the Patriots. I thought he could be the starter the next year, but the team didn't agree. Never carried the ball more than 8 times in a game the rest of Flores time in Miami, despite the general lack of success by anyone else. Ahmed was hurt most of his time after McDaniel was hired, but did look good in the game @ Buffalo in 2021 and would have been instrumental in the win had the defense held on that night.
