Miami placed Le’Veon Moss on the reserve/retired list Tuesday, less than a month after the Texas A&M running back signed as an undrafted free agent on May 8.
The move lets the Dolphins keep Moss’s rights if he returns, but it abruptly ends his first NFL stint before he appeared in a game.
Moss leaves after a college career that produced 1,767 rushing yards and 22 touchdowns in four seasons, earning All-SEC recognition for his power running.
Injuries repeatedly limited that production—he never played more than nine games in a season, lost his junior year early to a knee injury and appeared in only seven games last year.
Texas A&M coach Mike Elko also said Moss dealt with on-field anxiety during college, underscoring the health issues that shadowed a player who was one of five Aggies to sign as undrafted free agents.
