Besides a few transactions on Tuesday, Most of the coverage in the NFL has been about players and coaches with Miami Dolphins connections.

One of the most interesting was defensive tackle Jordan Phillips, who was released from the Dallas Cowboys’ injured reserve list on an injury-free deal on Tuesday and wasted little time in rejoining another former team, the Buffalo Bills.

The Dolphins’ 2015 second-round pick would move on to his third team this season after signing with the New York Giants as a free agent in April, only to be traded to the Cowboys four months later.

This will be the third stint with Buffalo for Phillips, who played for the Dolphins from 2015-18 before being waived and claimed by the Bills that season.

Phillips also spent two seasons with the Arizona Cardinals, but his best performance was generally with the Bills.

Elsewhere, punter Matt Haack, co-author of “Mountainer Shot” He was re-signed with the New York Giants practice squad on Wednesday morning after being released the previous day.

With former Dolphins assistant head coach Darren Rizzi taking over as interim head coach of the New Orleans Saints. Two other high-profile former Dolphins coaches have new roles with the Las Vegas Raiders.

Joe Philbin and Norv Turner were part of the shakeup on the Las Vegas Raiders’ coaching staff after three offensive assistants were fired following a loss to the Cincinnati Bengals that dropped the Raiders to 2-7 on the season.

The Raiders will have a bye this week before returning to the field against the Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium in Week 11. Turner, who has been out of the NFL since 2019, was hired as a senior offensive assistant. Philbin was promoted from senior offensive assistant to interim offensive line coach.

Philbin, of course, was the Dolphins’ head coach from 2012 until he was fired after four games in 2025. Turner, meanwhile, was the Dolphins’ offensive coordinator in 2002-03. Ricky Williams led the NFL in rushing with 1,853 yards in his first year on the job; this is a franchise record that stands to this day.

Finally, the Dolphins will face first-year Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Chris Shula on Monday night, and if you know his last name, it’s because he’s the grandson of legendary coach Don Shula.
