The Miami Dolphins activated Cameron Goode from the physically unable to perform (PUP) list Saturday, making the linebacker available to make his 2024 debut Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers.
Not joining him is pass rusher Bradley Chubb, who has also spent the year on the PUP list and returned to practice along with Goode earlier this month. Chubb could be activated in the next few days, but the Dolphins have a chance at being eliminated from playoff contention this weekend.
Goode, 26, was a seventh-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft and spent his entire rookie season on the Dolphins' practice squad. Last year, he played in all 17 games, but mostly appeared on special teams and finished the season with six tackles and two quarterback hits.
The Dolphins have seen strong play from rookie first-round pick Chop Robinson, but depth at outside linebacker is lacking with Emmanuel Ogbah, Quinton Bell, and fifth-round rookie Mohamed Kamara rounding out the depth chart.
Miami released defensive tackle Neil Farrell Jr. to make room on the roster for Goode.
