Here are ratings for Dolphins EDGE and LBs in Madden 23

The highest-ranked Dolphin at these positions might be a bit surprising.

With the end of another NFL offseason insight, football fans are eagerly awaiting the release of the newest installment of the Madden video game series, Madden 23.

After the release of wide receiver and tight end ratings on Monday, EA Sports, the publishers of the game, released EDGE defender and linebacker ratings on Tuesday. The Dolphins have a top 10 linebacker and a top 10 defensive end, according to Madden.

2022 Dolphins position preview: Breaking down LBs ahead of camp

Let’s talk the second-level, from Jerome Baker to Cameron Goode.

The Miami Dolphins rookies are set to return to the facility on Tuesday, July 19, with the rest of the team reporting Tuesday, July 26. From that point, Miami will begin their first training camp sessions under head coach Mike McDaniel before his first season with the organization.

This time is important to discuss the state of the Dolphins’ roster and assess each position before they get a chance to hold true competitions.

We’ve talked about quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, tight ends and offensive linemen and defensive linemen, but now it’s time to slide back in the defense to break down the linebackers on the roster.

Dolphins claimed Calvin Munson off of waivers from the Patriots

Another old friend makes his return to Miami.

After bringing in running back Lamar Miller for a workout early in the week, the Miami Dolphins have decided to bring in another old friend.

On Wednesday, the Dolphins were awarded linebacker Calvin Munson off of waivers from the New England Patriots. Munson had been on Miami’s practice squad until late October when the Patriots signed him to their active roster.

Munson went undrafted in 2017 out of San Diego State and signed with the New York Giants where he played 14 games in his rookie season. He spent most of 2018 and 2019 with the Patriots before being signed off their practice squad by Miami. He appeared in 16 games with the Dolphins between 2019 and 2020.

This doesn’t seem to be an indication of any injury or potential COVID-19 news. It just appears that Brian Flores and company like this player, as they’ve targeted him twice now. Munson can be a solid special teamer if nothing more.
