On September 29, 2016, Urbik had his first start of the season during a 7–22 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. On December 17, 2016, he received his first start at center against the New York Jets after Mike Pouncey was placed on injured-reserve for the remainder of the season on December 13, 2016.[16]
On August 26, 2017, Urbik was released by the Dolphins with an injury settlement after suffering a knee injury.[17]
