SHAQUIL BARRETT NEWS

Won't return in 2024 The Dolphins elected to not activate Barrett from the reserve/retired list before Thursday's 4:00 p.m. deadline, Christian Gonzalez of NFL.com reports.

Impact After spending the past five seasons with the Buccaneers, Barrett signed a one-year, $7.5 million contract with the Dolphins in March, but the veteran linebacker never played a snap in Miami after he announced his retirement in July. He applied to be reinstated from retirement Tuesday, but the Dolphins elected to not activate Barrett before Thursday's deadline. Miami does not plan on releasing the 32-year-old, so he will remain out for the rest of the 2024 regular season.

Trying to come out of retirement Barrett applied to be reinstated from retirement to play immediately Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact As it's the Dolphins who currently hold Barrett's contractual rights, they're the ones who would need to activate him before he could actually suit back up. It's not clear when that might happen, but at this point it seems very unlikely it would be before Thursday's game at Green Bay.

Set to retire Barrett has informed Miami that he intends to retire, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Barrett entered the NFL with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent in 2014 and played 131 regular-season games over the course of a nine-year career that included four campaigns with Denver and five with Tampa Bay. He joined the Dolphins on a one-year contract this March but won't end up playing for the organization. Barrett finishes his career as a two-time Pro Bowler and a two-time NFL champion, having accumulated 400 career regular-season tackles, including 59.0 sacks, along with three interceptions, one of which he returned for a touchdown. His retirement will reduce the Dolphins' depth on the edge, especially with both Bradley Chubb (knee) and Jaelan Phillips (Achilles) opening training camp on the reserve/PUP list.

Questionable to face Lions Barrett (ankle) returned to practice Friday and will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Detroit, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Barrett took 75 percent of snap on defense in Monday's win over the Eagles, and a return to practice at the end of the week has him on track to start again this Sunday in Detroit. The 31-year-old had only 4.5 sacks and nine QB hits in 16 regular-season games this year, perhaps losing a step after suffering an Achilles' tear in 2022.
