Tyrel Dodson - Page 2 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Impact Dodson's absence proved a notable blow for Miami's defense during the team's narrow loss to the Chargers in Week 6, but he could have a chance to return to the lineup in time for Sunday's road matchup against the Browns. In order to retake the field, of course, Dodson will need to fully clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. If Dodson misses any more time, K.J. Britt will stand to again step into a starting role at middle linebacker.

Returns to Miami The Dolphins re-signed Dodson to a two-year, $8.25 million contract Wednesday, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Dodson opened the 2024 season as an every-down linebacker for the Seahawks, but he was a surprise cut after nine games and was claimed off waivers by Miami. He mainly played special teams in his first six games with the Dolphins before playing 100 percent of the defensive snaps in Weeks 17 and 18. Look for Dodson to build on that and open 2025 as a three-down linebacker.

Eagles, Titans headline NFL teams that surrendered fewest total yards in 2024

Reduced role in Miami Dodson played in 17 regular-season games in 2024 -- nine with Seattle, eight with Miami -- and finished with 107 tackles (59 solo), including 2.0 sacks, six pass defenses (three in...

Impact Dodson signed a one-year, $4.26 million contract with the Seahawks in March. He logged 71 combined tackles through nine games with Seattle, but he was waived Nov. 11 due to the Seahawks' acquisition of Ernest Jones from the Titans and the rise of rookie fourth-rounder Tyrice Knight. Dodson was claimed off waivers by the Dolphins one day later, and his role with Miami's first-team defense fluctuated, though he did register a career-high 15 tackles against the Browns in Week 17. Dodson will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and he'll look to join a team who can promise him a more consistent role on defense.
