The Miami Dolphins added depth to their thinned-out linebacker unit on Friday by signing Brennan Scarlett, an outside linebacker who spent his first five seasons with the Houston Texans.
Scarlett has started 22 of the 56 games he’s played in the past five seasons, but all but one of those seasons ended with him on injured reserve because of an injury.
Details of Scarlett’s contract weren’t immediate available, but it’s likely that he signed a one-year deal for a salary paying him slightly more than the NFL minimum.
Scarlett, who has contributed 139 tackles, 5.5 sacks and one interception and forced three fumbles and recovered one during his NFL career, will likely contribute on defense and special teams.
