Dolphins Part Ways with Cornerback Alex Austin

The Miami Dolphins are releasing cornerback Alex Austin as they begin their roster cutdown process before the deadline on Sunday.

After being waived by the Bills, Austin had brief stints with the Texans and the Patriots before signing a one-year contract with the Dolphins in March. During his time in the NFL, he played in three games for the Texans and five for the Patriots, accumulating nine tackles, one interception, and two pass defenses.
