The Dolphins waived Henning on Tuesday.
The undrafted rookie out of Northwestern entered training camp gunning for a depth spot on the Dolphins' 53-man roster, but he didn't do much to separate himself from the competition after logging three catches (on six targets) for 34 yards across three games. Assuming he clears waivers, Henning is a candidate to stick around in Miami as a member of the Dolphins' practice squad.

Dolphins' AJ Henning: Needs crutches after injury
Rotowire
Henning (undisclosed) was carted off the practice field Thursday and then needed crutches to move around, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Henning was already unlikely to make Miami's 53-man roster, but Thursday's injury could shut the door completely if it leads to additional missed time. He signed with the Dolphins as an undrafted free agent out of Northwestern in April.
