The Miami Dolphins have had some real issues on the edge, as they’ve lost Bradley Chubb, Jaelan Phillips, Andrew Van Ginkel and Cameron Goode for the season to injury.
That has left the team with just Emmanuel Ogbah, Quinton Bell and Melvin Ingram between the active roster and practice squad, so it makes sense that they’d be looking for help.
According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the Dolphins are signing veteran linebacker Justin Houston for their playoff run.
Houston, 34, has been in the league for 13 seasons, spending his first eight years with the Kansas City Chiefs. With Kansas City, he earned one All-Pro nomination and Pro Bowl honors four times. Since 2019, he’s spent two years with the Indianapolis Colts, two years with the Baltimore Ravens and part of this season with the Carolina Panthers.
In seven games in 2023, he’s recorded nine tackles (two for a loss), a pass defensed and a half-sack, but in his career, he’s amassed the third-most sacks of any active player (behind only Von Miller and Cameron Jordan).
Houston may not be the edge rusher that he once was, but he could certainly help a group that’s in desperate need of assistance.
