The Miami Dolphins have quickly moved on from former Wisconsin Badgers edge rusher Mason Reiger.

Reiger played in the the Dolphins ' first preseason game, and the team's social media account even posted about his sack. Less than a week later, he is no longer on the team.
In his place, the Dolphins re-signed edge Seth Coleman-Lyles, who had been waived by the team earlier in August.
Reiger is one of 12 former Badgers who were in NFL camps for the first time this summer as undrafted free agents looking to represent Wisconsin in the NFL.
During the winter, many expected him to be the Badgers ' lone draftee, but he went undrafted. Now, he faces a major uphill battle to get back into the league.
