Swanson is back

According to a source, the Dolphins signed center Travis Swanson, who was signed by Miami last week and cut a day later to make room for special teams ace Brandon Bolden.

The Dolphins released tight end Gavin Escobar to make room on the 53-man roster, per a source.

Swanson appeared in 53 games for Detroit the past four seasons, with 42 starts.


A former third-round pick by the Lions out of Arkansas in 2014, Swanson finished last season on injured reserve with a concussion, marking the second consecutive season he was diagnosed with a concussion.

He spent part of training camp with the Jets, who play host to the Dolphins on Sunday.

But Denney injured his shoulder during the game and had to be replaced by reserve tight end Durham Smythe, with backup long snapper Mike Hull on injured reserve.

“It’s the only one I wish nobody told me about,” Gase said in a playful manner regarding Denny’s injury. “I found out right before the ball was snapped, so that was interesting.”
