Bowden opened the preseason against the Bucaneers by stealing the show as Miami’s highest graded offensive weapon. In that contest, he caught three passes for 55 yards and a touchdown, while also adding a nice punt return.

The news of his release comes as a bit of a surprise, as there was positivity around Bowden Jr. at least being the Dolphins return man this fall.

In Miami’s most recent contest on Saturday, Bowden hauled in a 39-yard touchdown reception.

There still remwins a chance the former 3rd round pick could be picked up by another NFL team before the season begins in September.
