The Miami Dolphins on Sunday claimed quarterback Luke Falk off the waiver wire, giving the team a fourth quarterback on the 53-man roster.

Miami has yet to make a corresponding move, but quarterbacks Brock Osweiler and David Fales seem to be the most in danger of being waived after Falk was claimed.

Dolphins head coach Adam Gase told the Florida Sun-Sentinel the plan throughout the preseason was to keep three quarterbacks.

"At the end of the day, you talk about that being one of the most important positions in professional football," Gase said. "Our thought process is we're going to try to develop guys and get them ready to go, and if we have a situation where we need the next guy to get up, we want to make sure we have the right guy."

The Tennessee Titans selected Falk out of Washington State in the 2018 NFL Draft in the sixth round. He completed 68.3 percent of his passes for 14,481 yards and 119 touchdowns for the Cougars.
