Overview
- Multiple outlets reported that the Miami Dolphins claimed edge rusher Jamree Kromah off waivers on Friday, October 30, and cleared a roster spot by releasing defensive end Robert (Rob) Beal Jr.
- Beal had missed recent games with a hamstring issue and had limited production this season, which contributed to Miami’s decision to add immediate depth at the edge position.
- Reporting ties Kromah’s availability to roster churn in Chicago after the Bears’ recent trade for defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, which created pressure on the Bears’ depth chart.
- Kromah, an undrafted player who spent time with Rutgers and James Madison, is credited in reports with 97 college tackles and 14 sacks, but sources disagree about whether he played zero or two regular-season games for the Bears this year.
- The waiver claim highlights how teams use the waiver wire to fill short-term needs and how undrafted developmental players can move quickly between rosters, with the immediate effect likely to be more competition for snaps among Miami’s active edge group.
