Dolphins Sign Veteran Pass Rushers Ahead of Chiefs Playoff Game

Injuries prompt Miami to add Bruce Irvin, Justin Houston and Malik Reed to their lineup, bringing over 194 career sacks to the team.

The Miami Dolphins have signed former Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl champion Bruce Irvin and veteran pass rusher Justin Houston to bolster their defense ahead of a wild-card playoff game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Dolphins have been dealing with a rash of injuries at the linebacker position, with Andrew Van Ginkel, Cameron Goode, and Jerome Baker all placed on the injured reserve.
Between Irvin, Houston and another new signing, Malik Reed, the Dolphins have added over 194 career sacks to their lineup.
Despite their age, the new signings bring a wealth of experience and playoff savvy, with Irvin and Houston having combined for 10 postseason sacks.
The Dolphins are hoping their new collection of edge rushers can disrupt Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who has been deemed responsible for the third-highest percentage of pressures allowed in 2023.
