Dolphins Sign Three Veteran Edge Rushers Ahead Of Postseason

11 months ago

The Miami Dolphins have signed veteran edge rushers Justin Houston, Bruce Irvin, and Malik Reed just days before the wild-card game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Miami has lost Jaelen Philips (Achilles), Bradley Chubb (knee), and Andrew Van Ginkel (foot) for the season due to lower-body injuries, so depth is running thin at the important position. Houston has totaled 112 sacks during his 13-year NFL career, but he logged just half a sack with the Carolina Panthers in seven games this year. Irvin, a 12-year NFL veteran, has compiled 56.5 sacks in 141 career games. Reed has 16 sacks in five seasons. Ultimately, none of the new signings are expected to be difference-makers, but all could be factors in a linebacker's room that has been decimated by injuries.
