Dolphins sign Robbie Chosen, Cameron Goode to roster ahead of Bills game

The Miami Dolphins signed veteran wide receiver Robbie Chosen and outside linebacker Cameron Goode from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills in Orchard Park.

The Dolphins had two open spots on the active roster following the Friday moves of placing wide receivers River Cracraft and Erik Ezukanma on the injured reserve and the non-football injury list, respectively. Cracraft suffered a shoulder injury and Ezukanma due to a neck ailment.

Chosen’s signing was expected with the Dolphins down two at the position and Chosen scoring a long touchdown in last Sunday’s 70-20 win over the Denver Broncos after the team elevated him from the practice squad ahead of that game.

Goode has been a core special teamer for the Dolphins in their first three games. Miami had already used its three free practice-squad elevations on him, and to bring him up again, had to sign him to the 53-man roster.

Dolphins special teams coordinator Danny Crossman said this past week Goode, a second-year player out of California who was a seventh-round pick in 2022, has been “playing well.” He stopped short, however, of saying whether Goode would get a permanent spot on the roster.

“We’ll see,” Crossman said Thursday. “The roster and the management of the roster and game-day stuff, it’s constantly changing. It’s an ebb and flow, but he’s a guy that we feel good about, if he’s got a uniform, of contributing for us.”

The Dolphins also elevated veteran outside linebacker Chase Winovich from the practice squad for Sunday’s game.

Winovich was also up last time edge rusher Jaelan Phillips missed a game, Sept. 17 at the New England Patriots. Phillips has already been ruled out for Sunday with an oblique injury. The Dolphins have now used two elevations of the three allowed this season on Winovich.
