The Miami Dolphins signed running back Mark Walton on Sunday after he tried out at the team’s rookie minicamp this weekend.
The Cincinnati Bengals waived Walton last month after he was arrested for the third time this offseason. For his most recent arrest, a March 12 incident in Miami, he is facing a felony charge of carrying a concealed weapon along with three misdemeanor charges: resisting an officer without violence, marijuana possession and reckless driving.
Walton was previously charged with battery on Feb. 16 and misdemeanor possession of marijuana on Jan. 16.
He was selected by the Bengals out of the University of Miami in the fourth round of the 2018 draft. He played mostly on special teams and carried the ball only 14 times last season, rushing for 34 yards, an average of 2.4 yards per carry.
In other moves Sunday, the Dolphins signed two other players who had tried out this weekend — center Kirk Barron and cornerback Jamar Summers. The Dolphins waived/injured center Connor Hilland and safety Rob Rolle.
