From the article

I am not positive Tolbert is on the roster by the end of the day on Sunday because Miami could look for a trade partner. He played 24 snaps on Friday night, a high number given the Dolphins sat all of their starters

Tolbert's roster spot uncertain; could be traded for rookie development

The source projects Tolbert on the 53-man roster but expresses uncertainty about his roster status, noting he played 24 snaps in Friday's preseason game (a high number given starters sat out) but may be traded as Miami prioritizes giving rookies playing time for development; Tolbert would provide veteran presence but may not fit the team's plans.
