Clelin Ferrell - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Let go from practice squad The Dolphins released Ferrell from their practice squad Monday.

Impact Ferrell had already been elevated the maximum three times this season, so Miami would have needed to sign him to the active roster for him to be eligible to play again. The 2019 first-round pick logged three tackles (one solo) across his three outings and will now look to catch on with another team.

Cast off by Dolphins Miami released Ferrell on Monday.

Impact Ferrell initially made the Dolphins' 53-man roster, but he was one of several players let go Monday to make room for Miami's successful waiver claims. Ferrell is a vested veteran, so he immediately becomes a free agent. The Clemson product has extensive NFL experience and racked up 4.0 sacks over nine regular-season games between the Chargers and 49ers last year, so he could be an attractive option for teams looking for help on the edge.

Practices Tuesday Ferrell (undisclosed) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Ferrell suffered an injury in early August that was set to sideline him for multiple weeks. The veteran defensive end has returned to full participation slightly over two weeks after the injury occurred. The 29-year-old will likely play in Friday's preseason finale against the Falcons.

Long-term injury Ferrell (undisclosed) expected to be out for multiple weeks, Alain Poupart of SI.comreports.

Impact Head coach Jeff Hafley indicated that Ferrell would take weeks to return following an undisclosed injury. The 29-year-old signed a one-year deal with Miami in late July and was expected to compete for a regular edge rusher role, but his roster may be in jeopardy as a result of the injury. Ferrell, who has now been on five different teams in five years, last played with San Francisco where he recorded 24 tackles, including 4.0 sacks, in eight games.

Makes deal with Miami The Dolphins signed Ferrell on Monday.

Impact In a corresponding transaction, Miami waived defensive lineman Kahlil Saunders. Ferrell was a steady fixture in San Francisco's front seven toward the end of last season, but he managed to tally only 3.0 sacks in eight regular-season games with the 49ers. He'll likely have a harder time getting opportunities among a group of Dolphins pass rushers that figures to be significantly more productive than San Francisco's was in 2025.

Productive when called upon Ferrell finished the 2025 regular season with 24 tackles (13 solo) and 4.0 sacks in eight games played for the 49ers.

Impact Ferrell was one of several reserve linemen asked to fill in the big shoes left by DE Nick Bosa's season-ending knee injury. The 28-year-old Ferrell's finest performance came in Week 13 when he posted 2.0 sacks and nine combined tackles against the Browns. The former No. 4 overall pick has shown some flashes of excellence during this brief run in San Francisco and also during his time as a starter with Washington in 2023. Ferrell -- an unrestricted free agent -- figures to draw interest from clubs this upcoming offseason who believe the defensive end is a late bloomer.
