Matthew Judon - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Signs to Niners' practice squad The 49ers signed Judon to the practice squad Monday.

Impact The 49ers already have four edge players on injured reserve, and Nick Bosa (calf) and Romello Height (hand) are banged up, leaving the team's depth especially thin. Judon turned 34 years old last month and failed to record a single sack across 14 regular-season games with the Dolphins and Bills last season. He doesn't appear to have a whole lot left in the tank.

Officially signs with Buffalo Judon signed with the Bills' practice squad Saturday.

Impact The 33-year-old edge rusher was dropped by the Dolphins on Dec. 17 but has already found a new home in Buffalo. Judon had an underwhelming 2025 campaign with the Dolphins, appearing in 13 games and recording just 19 total tackles with no sacks. Now in Buffalo, he'll add a veteran presence to the team's pass-rush unit and be available for the final two regular-season games and the postseason, assuming the Bills qualify.

Healthy scratch Week 7 Judon (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Impact Judon has worked in a rotational role at defensive end through the first six games of the regular season, accumulating six tackles (three solo) over that span. He will be a healthy scratch for Sunday's road game, which gives Kenneth Grant, Matthew Butler and rookie fifth-rounder Jordan Phillips more opportunities for snaps on the Dolphins' defensive line.

Set to join Miami The Dolphins are slated to sign Judon to a one-year contract worth up to $6 million, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Judon was brought in for a visit with the Dolphins on Monday, and the meeting between the two sides went well enough for the veteran edge rusher to stick around in Miami. The 2016 fifth-rounder is coming off a disappointing 2024 campaign with the Falcons, when he finished with 41 tackles (25 solo), including 5.5 sacks, and five pass defenses (including a pick-six) across 17 regular-season games. Judon won't be brought in to serve in an every-down role, but he should get some rotational work at edge rusher with starters Bradley Chubb and Chop Robinson.
