The New England Patriots are coming off a disappointing loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 1 where their offense couldn't put up a ton of points. Now, they will be gearing up to face the Miami Dolphins - and they'll be facing one of their former first-round picks.

Per Tom Pelissero, Cole Strange is signing with the Miami Dolphins.

"The Dolphins are signing guard Cole Strange off Cleveland’s practice squad, per source," Pelissero reports. "Miami is dealing with multiple OL injuries and now Strange — the former Patriots first-round pick — could be in uniform against New England on Sunday."

Strange was drafted by the Patriots in the 2022 NFL Draft and was on the Browns' practice squad before the Dolphins signed him to their roster.
