Dolphins' Mike Boone: Gets opportunity with Miami

The Dolphins signed Boone to a contract Monday.

With Alexander Mattison (neck) being placed on injured reserve, the Dolphins bolstered their backfield Monday by adding Boone and Aaron Shampklin. Boone appeared in six regular-season games for the Panthers in 2024 and posted 13 carries for 51 yards along with one catch (on three targets) for minus-2 yards. Boone, Shampklin and Ollie Gordon will compete for the RB3 job behind De'Von Achane and Jaylen Wright.
