Jettisoned by Miami The Dolphins cut Ballage on Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact The Dolphins telegraphed Ballage's departure when they signed another running back in rookie Salvon Ahmed earlier Wednesday. The team gave Ballage every opportunity to prove himself worthy of a role on offense in 2019, but his averages of 1.8 yards on 74 carries and 2.6 yards on 24 targets were the lowest mark of any member of the backfield. The 2018 fourth-round pick's size and athletic tools could result in him finding a depth role with another organization, and at this point, a change of scenery could be for the best.

Is Ballage Bound for a Bounce-Back Year? Running back Kalen Ballage had a very difficult 2019 season, but maybe it's a mistake to count him out too quickly

Battling for role Running backs coach Eric Studesville said he isn't giving up on Ballage, who has been joined by Jordan Howard and Matt Breida in the Miami backfield, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com repo...
Impact Ballage may get his shot to earn a Week 1 role, but it likely would be a very limited one. With Howard and Breida locked in for roster spots, the Dolphins figure to have Ballage, Patrick Laird, Myles Gaskin and Malcolm Perry competing for one or two jobs. It's a situation where special teams value could make the difference, which wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing for a 230-pounder with 4.46 speed who logged 292 ST snaps through the first two years of his career. However, Laird was a bigger factor on special teams last year, and he also showed far more ability in the passing game. This competition won't carry much fantasy intrigue unless Breida or Howard suffers an injury.
