The Miami Dolphins are strengthening their defense by signing 34-year-old veteran outside linebacker Justin Houston, who is expected to play Saturday. This strategic move comes in response to losing their top three edge rushers—Bradley Chubb, Jaelan Phillips, Andrew Van Ginkel—as well as starting middle linebacker Jerome Baker for the year due to injuries. Houston, who has recorded 112 career sacks, was recently released by the Carolina Panthers after participating in seven games this season. Prior to his time with Carolina, Houston played eight years with the Kansas City Chiefs. His experience is anticipated to enhance the Dolphins' pass rush as they gear up for the postseason.
