The Miami Dolphins are waiving Rey Maualuga after the veteran linebacker was arrested Friday night, a source confirmed to ESPN's Adam Schefter on Saturday.
His overnight arrest and pending release was first reported by Pro Football Talk.
The Dolphins acquired Maualuga, 30, prior to this season after he played eight years for the Bengals, including two seasons with current Miami defensive coordinator Matt Burke.
Maualuga had 23 tackles this season, and he had six forced fumbles and seven interceptions during his career.
The Dolphins could turn to Mike Hull at middle linebacker for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
