The Miami Dolphins still haven’t made some of their latest coaching moves official, but they’ve apparently made one more addition.
Former NFL safety Steve Gregory will join the staff as a coaching assistant, according to NFL reporter Field Yates.
Gregory played in the NFL for eight seasons, playing in 111 games with 54 starts. He spent his last two seasons with the New England Patriots in 2012 and 2013, when none other than Brian Flores was the safety coach.
The Dolphins reportedly promoted George Godsey and Eric Studesville to serve as co-offensive coordinator, but still haven’t made the official name more than a month later. The Dolphins have also reportedly decided to promote Austin Clark or Rob Leonard as the defensive line coach, but that move also remains unofficial.
LAST UP FROM NOY
Linebacker Kyle Van Noy remains the property of the Miami Dolphins, even though they have already informed him that he will not be returning to the squad for a second season.
The delay is that the Dolphins are still trying to work out a trade and get something back for Van Noy, a proposal made difficult by the three remaining years of the $ 51 million four-year contract he signed last off-season.
While there should be plenty of suitors for Van Noy’s services, the feeling remains that it’s just a matter of time before the dolphins just release him.

ROWE CONTINUES
The NFLPA’s annual externship program went virtual off-season, but that didn’t stop 52 NFL players from taking on roles at 24 different organizations.
One of those players is Dolphins Safety Eric Rowe, who is going to team up with International Justice Mission.
IJM is an international non-profit organization that works with local justice systems to end violence against people living in poverty, according to its website.
Rowe showed his support for International Justice Mission during this season’s My Cause My Cleats initiative.
THE TUA TOUR
Tua Tagovailoa continued his tour of national outlets to promote “Tua Days” for Muscle Milk, this time speaking to The Sporting News.
In this particular interview, he spoke about his relationship with veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, who will likely leave this off-season as a free agent.
“I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason,” Tagovailoa told The Sporting News. “Everything played out as it should. I learned a lot from Fitzpatrick – he’s a great guy. At the same time, I also got the chance to get in the game, get some playing time.”
“It was great – very great – to have Ryan. A lot of the guys who have been very successful in the NFL have been mentored by guys before them. Ryan has been in the league for 16 years. He knows the ins, the outs, the staff, in terms of guys we play against. He helped in trying to simplify things. He was a great asset to help me become a better footballer. “
TANKERSLEY UPDATE
Cornerback Cordrea Tankersley’s NFL career has been heading south since starting eleven games as a third-round rookie for the Dolphins in 2017 and another setback on Friday.
Tankersley was waived by the Minnesota Vikings, for whom he played two games with one start in 2020. Tankersley closed the season on the team’s exhibition squad and was re-signed to a futures contract in January.
Tankersley was part of the Dolphins’ 2017 forgettable concept class, which has just two members: Davon Godchaux and Isaiah Ford. And Godchaux and Ford are both unrestricted free agents.
