The Miami Dolphins signed third-year defensive tackle Neil Farrell to their practice squad, the team announced Thursday.
Farrell, 26, was picked in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL draft by the Las Vegas Raiders and was later traded to the Kansas City Chiefs before the start of the 2023 season. Earlier this year, he was waived by the Chiefs and then later released from the team’s practice squad.
In his two seasons with Las Vegas and Kansas City, Farrell appeared in 12 games and recorded two tackles for loss and two quarterback hits.
The 6’4, 325-pound lineman joins a roster that has allowed the third most rushing touchdowns in the NFL. Through three games, starting defensive lineman Benito Jones has a 38.3 grade on Pro Football Focus, worst of any player on the team.
According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 in Houston, the Dolphins brought in former Minnesota Vikings and Arizona Cardinals defensive lineman Tyler Manoa along with Farrell for workouts before signing the latter.
