Dolphins add Wesley Johnson
Kalen Ballage Jersey , Cameron Malveaux The Miami Dolphins have announced a series of roster moves on Tuesday. The moves began with placing center Daniel Kilgore on injured reserve with a torn triceps muscle and releasing defensive tackle Jordan Phillips. To fill those two roster positions, the team promoted defensive end Cameron Malveaux and signed free agent center Wesley Johnson.Kilgore was acquired this offseason via a trade from the San Francisco 49ers, a move that allowed the team to release Mike Pouncey. Kilgore immediately assumed the role of starter and seemed to lock down the middle of the offensive line. He was injured early in the team’s game against the New England Patriots on Sunday, with Travis Swanson replacing him in the game.Phillips has been frustrated as his playing time has declined with the team preferring to play Davon Godchaux and Vincent Taylor to Phillips at times. He had an incident on the sideline during the team’s game against the Patriots and now find himself waived by the club.Malveaux was undrafted out of Houston, signing initially with the Dolphins in 2017, spending most of the season on the practice squad. He was promoted by the Dolphins near the end of the league, appearing in four games. Johnson joins the Dolphins after entering the league in 2014 as a fifth round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was waived by the Steelers in October of that year, joining the New York Jets where he played through 2017. He spent training camp this summer with the Detroit Lions. He has appeared in 43 games with 24 starts. DAVIE, Fla. (AP) ?Adam Gase wore his cap with the bill tugged even lower than usual Monday, as if trying to avoid looking at the big picture.It's not pretty. His Miami Dolphins (5-6) have lost six of their past eight games, including two in a row, to fall below .500 for the first time in 2018.And now they've earned a reputation for blowing double-digit fourth-quarter leads. They did it for the second time this season Sunday, when Indianapolis erased a 10-point deficit in the final 8minutes to win 27-24.In Week 5, Cincinnati rallied from a 17-point deficit and scored four times in the fourth period to beat Miami 27-17."You're disappointed because you've got two games where you're going, 5-6 (could be) 7-4," Gase said."It's a lousy feeling," he added, although he used a locker-room synonym for "lousy."Quarterback Ryan Tannehill played Sunday for the first time since the Cincinnati debacle, when he hurt his throwing shoulder. He went 2 for 4 for minus 3 yards in the fourth quarter against the Colts but still finished with a passer rating of 119.4 and emerged from the game in good shape physically."The shoulder wasn't an issue," Tannehill said. "It felt really good. I really didn't even think about it throughout the game."Miami's meltdown was a whopper, however. Indy outgained the Dolphins 200 yards to minus 1 yard in the final 13 minutes."The way it went down, obviously, really hurts

"You hate when you're up and you lose the lead, and you know what you left on the field, and you know some of the situational stuff that didn't get done right."As a result, the Dolphins had three takeaways, deflected a punt, scored on a 74-yard pass and still managed to lose."It was right there," defensive end Cameron Wake said. "I mean, everything. It was scripted the way we wanted."With the defeat, the Dolphins fell behind seven teams in the AFC standings. They'll likely be favored in only two of their final five games, including Sunday at home against Buffalo, and appear destined to miss the playoffs for the 15th time in the past 17 years.It can be argued that the Dolphins are worse than their record, and below .500 is where they belong. They rank 28th in the NFL in offense and 29th in defense. They've been outgained by 928 yards, third-worst in the league.Injuries continue to ravage the offense, with receiver Danny Amendola (right knee) and center Travis Swanson (ankle) the latest casualties. The status of both for Sunday's game is uncertain.But Gase predicted his team will bounce back from the latest loss."The good thing about NFL players is once we hit Wednesday, they really don't care about last week," he said. "It's probably better they're like that, compared with the coaches. We'll dwell."
