In this story:

As they head into their bye, the Miami Dolphins have used 68 different players so far in the regular season, a figure that's tied for 18th-most around the NFL.

Those obviously include players who made the initial 53-man roster all the way to the latest acquisition, linebacker Tyus Bowser, who was signed off the Seattle Seahawks practice squad Thursday and got significant action in the 15-10 victory against the New England Patriots on Sunday.

If you noticed our use of "initial 53-man roster," it's becuase it always undergoes many changes throughout the regular season.

That said (or written), and so all Dolphins fans are up to speed with all the moves the Dolphins have made, here's the complete rundown of all the transactions the team has made since that August 27 day when they got down to the 53-player limit.
