The Miami Dolphins are signing veteran long snapper Tucker Addington to their practice squad, his agent told Aaron Wilson KPRC 2 in Houston.
Addington, 27, previously had stints with the Dallas Cowboys, New England Patriots, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Washington Commanders, although he only saw regular season action with New England and Washington.
The Dolphins have had a revolving door at long snapper in recent weeks after placing fifth-year player Blake Ferguson on the non-football illness list in October. The team signed Matt Overton to the practice squad and twice elevated him to the active roster.
However, a third elevation would’ve required the Dolphins to sign Overton to the active roster and release one of their 53 players to make room. Instead, Miami swapped a new long snapper on to the practice squad by signing Addington.
Presumably, the plan will be to elevate Addington twice to avoid dedicating one of their 53 roster spots to a long snapper while the Dolphins wait for Ferguson to return.
