Other Roster Moves:
- Dolphins placed defensive tackle Robert Nkemdiche and cornerback Cordrea Tankersley on the physically unable to perform list.
Allen, 29, is a former third-round pick of the Colts back in 2012. He signed a four-year, $29.4 million contract that included $16 million with the Colts in 2016 before he was traded to the Patriots for the 2017 season.
The Patriots elected to release Allen in March. The Dolphins signed him for two years and $7 million, but was placed on their Physically Unable to Perform list last month and was activated after a week.
In 2018, Allen appeared in 13 games for the Patriots and caught just three passes for 27 yards receiving and no touchdowns.
Rudock, 25, is a former sixth-round pick by the Lions of the 2016 NFL Draft. Detroit elected to waive him as they trimmed down to the 53-man limit at the start of the 2016 season and they signed him to their practice squad after clearing waivers.
Rudock managed to make the 53-man roster in 2017 and returned to the Lions on an exclusive rights free agent last year. Detroit waived Rudock coming out of the preseason and later signed him to their practice squad.
The Dolphins signed him to a contract a few months ago.
In 2017, Rudock appeared in three games for the Lions and completed three of five pass attempts for 24 yards and an interception.
Butler, 29, is a former seventh-round pick of the Raiders back in 2013. He spent two years in Oakland before he was traded to the Cowboys for the 2015 season.
The Cowboys re-signed Butler to a one-year contract in 2017 and he finished out the season in Dallas. Butler joined the Cardinals back in April on a two-year contract, but was cut loose coming out of the preseason.
Butler returned to the Cowboys for a brief stint last year before catching on with the Dolphins.
In 2018, Butler appeared in eight games for the Cowboys and Dolphins and caught six passes for 60 yards and a touchdown.
