McFarland was released from the Dolphins' practice squad Thursday.
After he was unsuccessful in making the Dolphins' 53-man roster Tuesday, McFarland opted to return to Miami's practice squad one day later. It appears his services are no longer needed, however, and the 2020 fourth-round pick out of Maryland will now explore his next options. McFarland appeared in three regular-season games for the Steelers in 2023, during which he caught two passes for 11 yards, before also suiting up for the UFL's San Antonio Brahmas this past spring.
