Dolphins work out four LBs on Wednesday

The Miami Dolphins, after hosting three defensive linemen on Tuesday and eventually signing one to their practice squad, held more workouts the following day.

On Wednesday, Miami hosted four linebackers – Jermaine Carter Jr., Reuben Foster, Marcus Haynes and Terrell Lewis.

Carter, 28, was a fifth-round pick of the Carolina Panthers in 2018 following a collegiate career at Maryland. Carter spent three seasons in Carolina before joining the Cleveland Browns in 2022. In 72 games, he’s recorded 194 (eight for a loss), six quarterback hits, two passes defensed, two fumbles recovered and a half-sack.

Foster, 29, was selected by the San Francisco 49ers with the 31st overall pick in 2017. In 16 career games, he recorded 101 tackles (10 for a loss), seven quarterback hits and two passes defensed.

Haynes, 25, went undrafted this year after a collegiate career at Old Dominion that saw him play in 37 games and record 96 tackles (20 for a loss), 13 sacks, four forced fumbles, four passes defensed and a fumble recovery. He signed with the Denver Broncos and was placed on the practice squad during roster cuts.

Lewis, 25, was a third-round pick of the Los Angeles Rams in 2020 out of Alabama. He played most of his first three seasons with Los Angeles before joining the Chicago Bears at the end of 2022. In 30 career games, he’s recorded 40 tackles (eight for a loss), 10 quarterback hits, six sacks, three passes defensed, one interception and one forced fumble.

The Dolphins have lost two linebackers to injury in back-to-back weeks with Jaelan Phillips suffering a torn Achilles and Jerome Baker sustaining an MCL injury.

Miami may have already signed Jason Pierre-Paul to help on the edge, but they could consider adding one of these four to the practice squad for some extra depth.
