The Miami Dolphins may reunite with Emmanuel Ogbah after releasing the veteran pass rusher earlier this year. According to Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network, the team intends to host Ogbah for a workout Monday.
The Dolphins find themselves suddenly in need of pass rushing help after the abrupt and surprising retirement of Shaquil Barrett who signed with the team earlier this year. While Miami has the duo of Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips, both will begin training camp on the PUP list as they continue to rehab injuries that ended their respective 2023 seasons.
Ogbah, 30, first joined the Dolphins as a free agent in 2020 and finished with nine sacks in each of his first two seasons with the team. But with the departure of Brian Flores, the emergence of Phillips, and the arrival of Chubb, Ogbah’s role was diminished and he finished the last two seasons with 6.5 combined sacks.
But with neither Chubb nor Phillips at full strength and a pair of rookies (Chop Robinson and Mohamed Kamara) behind them on the depth chart, Ogbah could be a good fit in Anthony Weaver’s defense.
