Dolphins waive DL Wright after practice scuffle

The Miami Dolphins waived veteran defensive lineman Gabe Wright on Tuesday, one day after he took a cheap shot at running back Kenyan Drake during a testy practice.

The Dolphins had several fights break out at camp Monday, one of which saw Wright reportedly blindside Drake with an elbow while his helmet was off. Drake did not appear to sustain an injury from the incident.

"Everyone is getting tired of hitting each other," said offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains. "In camp, that's what happens in the NFL about this time every year, every team."

Defensive coordinator Matt Burke, meanwhile, expressed his dissatisfaction with the extra physicality.

"It's got to be within the context of doing what we're asking you to do and executing the scheme too," Burke said. "Just coming out here, being a jackass and running around, that doesn't help us either."

Wright was a fourth-round pick by the Detroit Lions in the 2015 NFL Draft. He spent the majority of last season on Miami's practice squad, appearing in just one game.
