Dolphins' Shaquil Barrett: Won't return in 2024
The Miami Dolphins elected to not activate Shaquil Barrett from the reserve/retired list before Thursday's 4:00 p.m. deadline, Christian Gonzalez of NFL.com reports.After spending the past five seasons with the Buccaneers, Barrett signed a one-year, $7.5 million contract with the Dolphins in March, but the veteran linebacker never played a snap in Miami after he announced his retirement in July. He applied to be reinstated from retirement Tuesday, but the Dolphins elected to not activate Barrett before Thursday's deadline. Miami does not plan on releasing the 32-year-old, so he will remain out for the rest of the 2024 regular season.

Dolphins' Shaquil Barrett: Trying to come out of retirement
Shaquil Barrett applied to be reinstated from retirement Tuesday to play immediately, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.As it's the Miami Dolphins who currently hold Barrett's contractual rights, they're the ones who would need to activate him before he could actually suit back up. It's not clear when that might happen, but at this point it seems very unlikely it would be before Thursday's game at Green Bay.

Shaquil Barrett: Set to retire
Shaquil Barrett has informed Miami that he intends to retire, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Barrett entered the NFL with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent in 2014 and played 131 regular-season games over the course of a nine-year career that included four campaigns with Denver and five with Tampa Bay. He joined the Dolphins on a one-year contract this March but won't end up playing for the organization. Barrett finishes his career as a two-time Pro Bowler and a two-time NFL champion, having accumulated 400 career regular-season tackles, including 59.0 sacks, along with three interceptions, one of which he returned for a touchdown. His retirement will reduce the Dolphins' depth on the edge, especially with both Bradley Chubb (knee) and Jaelan Phillips (Achilles) opening training camp on the reserve/PUP list.

Buccaneers' Shaquil Barrett: Returns to health in '23
Shaquil Barrett recorded 52 tackles (33 solo), including 4.5 sacks, a pick-six, an additional pass defensed and three forced fumbles across 16 regular-season games in 2023. He did not record any stats over 88 snaps across two postseason contests.Barrett's disappearing act in the playoffs notwithstanding, the veteran linebacker did enjoy an encouraging season after an Achilles tear limited him to eight games in 2022. Barrett's sack total was down compared to his other prior healthy seasons in Tampa Bay, but he continued to display a knack for forcing turnovers and once again delivered tackle numbers in line with his career standards. Barrett is now slated to play out the final season of the four-year, $68 million contract he signed prior to the 2021 campaign.

Buccaneers' Shaquil Barrett: Good to go Sunday
Shaquil Barrett (ankle) is active for Sunday's divisional-round game against the Lions.Barrett popped up with an ankle injury following Tampa Bay's win over the Eagles on Monday, and he was a non-participant during practice Wednesday. He was then listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report, and he'll be available for Sunday's playoff contest. Barrett should continue to line up opposite rookie outside linebacker YaYa Diaby, and these two will play vital roles as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' pass rush seeks to slow down Detroit's potent passing offense.

Buccaneers' Shaquil Barrett: Questionable to face Lions
Shaquil Barrett (ankle) returned to practice Friday and will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Detroit, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.Barrett took 75 percent of snap on defense in Monday's win over the Eagles, and a return to practice at the end of the week has him on track to start again this Sunday in Detroit. The 31-year-old had only 4.5 sacks and nine QB hits in 16 regular-season games this year, perhaps losing a step after suffering an Achilles' tear in 2022.
