The Miami Dolphins waived veteran Marcus Maye and activated fellow safety Patrick McMorris off injured reserve on Tuesday.

NFL Network reported the Dolphins hope to re-sign Maye, 31, to the practice squad. He has recorded 30 tackles in 11 games (three starts) this season, his first with Miami.

Maye has eight interceptions, 29 passes defensed, 4.5 sacks and 439 tackles in 88 games (80 starts) with the New York Jets (2017-21), New Orleans Saints (2022-23) and Dolphins.

McMorris, 23, was a sixth-round pick by Miami in the 2024 NFL Draft. The rookie was placed on IR on Aug. 29 with a foot injury and had his 21-day practice window opened earlier this month.

The Dolphins (5-6) visit the Green Bay Packers (8-3) on Sunday night.
