Hayes\u2019 could have a more favorable path to cracking Atlanta\u2019s 53-man active roster given its recent injuries at the position. Starting right tackle Kaleb McGary was placed on season-ending injured reserve, while backup Storm Norton will miss at least the first four games of the regular season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"BBXFUT5QYFGTXCO3DROGMC22KU\">Hayes, a two-time all-Big Ten honoree who started 29 games over five years at Michigan, made his NFL debut in Week 18 last season with the Dolphins. The Traverse City native played four snaps on special teams and then signed a futures contract with the team, giving him a chance to earn a spot on the roster during camp.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"RNQWGQT4SVFZDL4HIQSS2ZDJVE\">Meanwhile, one former Michigan offensive lineman is remaining with Miami\u2019s organization. Guard Josh Priebe, who started all 15 games last season for the Wolverines as a graduate transfer from Northwestern, was signed to the practice squad after getting cut Tuesday. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"CLWNLKZLDNDKLHFHJIKCDQNJL4\">He went undrafted this year before signing with the Dolphins. <\/p>\n<p>If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
