Zach Triner was waived from the Dolphins' practice squad after appearing in three games this season. He joined the NFL as a free agent with the New York Jets in 2017 and had been part of a series of long snapper changes for Miami since Ferguson's absence.

Zach Triner served as one of the long snappers for the Dolphins during Ferguson's absence, specifically playing in the game against the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving night. The team struggled with a 0-4 record when using Triner and another snapper, while they went 3-0 with Tucker Addington.

Zach Triner was signed to the practice squad and subsequently elevated for the game against the Green Bay Packers, suggesting that the Dolphins may not be in a hurry to activate long-snapper Blake Ferguson from the Reserve/Non-Football Illness list. This move indicates a strategic decision regarding the team's special teams depth.
