MIAMI (AP) -Fullback Cory Schlesinger and wide receiver Az-Zahir Hakim were among 22 players cut Saturday by the Miami Dolphins, who had 13 rookies make their 53-man roster.

Mauia appears to be the Week 1 starter after the Dolphins terminated Schlesinger’s contract.
Hakim, a veteran who had no receptions in the Dolphins’ four exhibition games, also had his contract terminated.

Linebackers Jim Maxwell and Robert McCune, receiver P.K. Sam and guard Dan Stevenson were also waived-injured.
“We feel good about the guys on our team, and I think we have a good mix of veteran and young players on our roster,” general manager Randy Mueller said.
Miami opens the season Sept. 9 at Washington.
