After losing linebacker Jaelan Phillips to a torn Achilles in their Black Friday matchup with the New York Jets, the Miami Dolphins have been looking to add some edge help to replace his production.
While the Dolphins failed to successfully claim Derek Barnett after the Philadelphia Eagles waived him, they have decided to sign veteran edge rusher Jason Pierre-Paul off of the New Orleans Saints practice squad, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Pierre-Paul, 34, has recorded 94.5 total sacks in his career, but in the late stages of his career, he’s played in just one game this year for New Orleans, recording two tackles.
As a member of the Ravens for four games in 2022, he recorded three sacks.
He’ll likely play a rotational role with Miami, helping Andrew Van Ginkel, Emmanuel Ogbah and Cameron Goode on the active roster.
