The Miami Dolphins signed outside linebacker Tyus Bowser off the Seattle Seahawks’ practice squad, the team announced Thursday.
Bowser, 29, was picked in the second round of the 2017 NFL draft by the Baltimore Ravens and spent the first seven years of his career with the team. During his time with the Ravens, Bowser worked with current Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver, who became the Ravens’ defensive line coach in 2021.
Bowser recorded 19.5 sacks during his tenure in Baltimore, but missed all of 2023 due to a knee injury suffered in the offseason. The Ravens released Bowser earlier this year and he eventually landed with the Seahawks. He appeared in two games with Seattle in September and received a 62.4 grade from PFF.
Miami was in need of some pass rushing help after losing Jaelan Phillips to a season-ending knee injury. Through four games, the Dolphins have seven sacks, more than only four teams in the NFL.
Earlier this year, the Dolphins picked Chop Robinson and Mohamed Kamara in the first and fifth rounds of the 2024 NFL draft. The team also has Bradley Chubb on the PUP list as he works to recover from an ACL tear suffered in Week 17 of the 2023 season.
