The Dolphins signed Conner to the practice squad Wednesday.

Rotowire
The Dolphins waived Conner on Tuesday.
Conner opened training camp on Miami's PUP list with an undisclosed issue, but he was activated last Tuesday and will hit waivers without any injury designation.

The Idaho State product made 13 appearances with the Dolphins last season after going undrafted, and he'll use what time is left in camp to secure a spot on the team's 53-man roster once again.
