Neal was a victim of final roster cuts in Green Bay, despite a strong preseason.
The former Tennessee starting running back rushed for 23 yards on four carries and caught five passes for 61 yards and a touchdown in Green Bay’s final preseason game.
The Packers elected to keep running back Alonzo Harris ahead of Neal.
Miami’s running back depth suffered a setback this week, as rookie running back Jay Ajayi suffered a cracked rib in the Dolphins’ final preseason game.
Neal, who has never appeared in a regular season game, could have a chance to eventually be part of Miami’s active roster this season.
