T.J. Heath

The Dolphins cut cornerback T.J. Heath. Heath was on the practice squad last season, but did play in two games for Miami. He was originally signed as an undrafted free agent out of Jacksonville State by the Jaguars. He's also been on the practice squad on a number of teams including the Cleveland Browns.

Fantasy Impact

The cornerback ranks have gotten a bit crowded via free agency and the draft. The Dolphins will be looking for someone to start opposite Brent Grimes when camp begins.

The Dolphins promoted Heath to the active roster in December in a move to help buffer injuries to the secondary. At that time, Heath had only been on the practice squad for a month. He finished the season playing only two games for Miami. The journeyman has been a practice player for four other teams. Heath is the fifth cornerback currently on the Dolphins' roster.

Fantasy Impact

Heath joins fellow cornerbacks Brent Grimes, Jamar Taylor, Will Davis and the newly signed Brice McCain. The Dolphins like to play man with their outside guys. The spot opposite Brent Grimes is open for business and perhaps a player from this group will fill that need although it's unlikely. The Dolphins have more work to do.

The promotion to the active roster is a move to help buffer the injuries to Miami's secondary. Heath has been on the practice squad for only a month. If Cortland Finnegan and Jamar Taylor can't play on Sunday, Heath may be called on to play in their stead against the Patriots.

Fantasy Impact

If Finnegan and Taylor are able to play, Heath may play only on special teams. There are certainly better options than someone who has only played in five games for the Jaguars three seasons ago.
