Dolphins release Mark Walton following arrest

The Miami Dolphins waived running back Mark Walton.

What It Means:

Walton was arrested Tuesday morning in South Florida for reportedly assaulting his pregnant girlfriend. The 2018 fourth-round pick was also arrested three times this past offseason and he's already in the midst of a four-game suspension. Walton is unlikely to be on a football field anytime soon. Kalen Ballage has been the Dolphins' starting running back since Walton was suspended.

Walton rushed 53 times for 201 yards (3.8 per carry) and caught 15 passes (21 targets) for 89 yards in seven games for the Dolphins this season.
