Dolphins sign linebacker Mike Hull, waive defensive tackle A.J. Francis

PHILADELPHIA - The Miami Dolphins have called rookie linebacker Mike Hull up from the practice squad, placing the former Penn State standout on the 53-man roster.

Hull, who is a 6-foot, 237-pound inside linebacker, will likely be needed for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles because three of Miami's linebackers are nursing injuries.

Koa Misi and Jelani Jenkins, the Dolphins' two every down linebackers, are both nursing nagging injuries. Misi has been slowed by a foot injury and Jenkins suffered an ankle injury in last week's 33-17 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
