Pierre-Paul signs with the Dolphins after LB Jaelan Phillips tore his Achilles in Week 12. Pierre-Paul had three sacks last season with the Ravens and signed with the Saints’ practice squad earlier in November. The Dolphins will try to use him to plug the void left by Phillips, who has to turn his sights to next season.

This was to be expected after the Saints hosted the veteran linebacker for a visit earlier in the day following reports that the team was in the market for a pass rusher after ranking 28th in the league in sacks through 10 weeks. Nothing is official currently, but the ball seems to be in Pierre-Paul’s court at the moment.

Pierre-Paul popped up with the Ravens in late September of last season and went on to play in 14 games. The two-time Super Bowl champion and former All-Pro has a lot of wear on his proverbial tires, but can still help a team as a situational pass rusher. He totaled three sacks and five TFLs for the Ravens on more than 550 defensive snaps.

The Ravens signed Pierre-Paul last week after losing three linebackers to IR. They'll be without OLB Justin Houston (doubtful, core) Sunday, leaving them thin at the position. Pierre-Paul should step into a starting role and is in line for a high snap rate in his 2022 debut.
