With a gap on the observe squad and the run recreation struggling on Monday Night time Soccer (Get effectively quickly, Alec Ingold!), the Miami Dolphins have re-signed tight finish Hayden Rucci to the observe squad.
Rucci, who performed collegiately at Wisconsin, was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Dolphins on Might tenth, 2024. He would spend the offseason with Miami and even begin the season on the observe squad earlier than being launched on October twenty third to make room for quarterback C.J. Beathard. Rucci completed the preseason with seven catches on eight targets for 57 yards and a landing.
The Jacksonville Jaguars would later poach C.J. Beathard from the Dolphins’ observe squad.
What can Hayden Rucci deliver to the Miami Dolphins offense?
First, let me begin by saying this can be a observe squad signing. At present, we have no idea how lengthy Ingold could also be out or if he’ll miss an prolonged interval. That stated, I feel the rationale for this signing is sort of obvious.
On Monday Night time vs. the Rams, Miami’s run recreation returned to actuality, dashing for 67 yards on 22 carries for a pedestrian 3 yards per carry. The run recreation struggled to get in a rhythm all night time, and whereas each Durham Smythe and Julian Hill are enough blockers, you noticed a transparent distinction in Monday Night time’s recreation once they tried to line up in Ingold’s absence.
I’m undecided how quickly Rucci will hear his identify referred to as as much as the 53-man roster — if in any respect — however for a participant who confirmed promise in the summertime, primarily from a blocking perspective — I’m fully on board with the Dolphins bringing him again particularly if Ingold’s long-term well being is in query.
