Clelin Ferrell: Cast off by Dolphins
Miami released Ferrell on Monday.
Ferrell initially made the Dolphins' 53-man roster, but he was one of several players let go Monday to make room for Miami's successful waiver claims. Ferrell is a vested veteran, so he immediately becomes a free agent. The Clemson product has extensive NFL experience and racked up 4.0 sacks over nine regular-season games between the Chargers and 49ers last year, so he could be an attractive option for teams looking for help on the edge.

Dolphins' Clelin Ferrell: Practices Tuesday
Ferrell (undisclosed) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
Ferrell suffered an injury in early August that was set to sideline him for multiple weeks. The veteran defensive end has returned to full participation slightly over two weeks after the injury occurred. The 29-year-old will likely play in Friday's preseason finale against the Falcons.

Dolphins' Clelin Ferrell: Multi-week absence expected
Ferrell (undisclosed) is expected to be out for multiple weeks, Alain Poupart of SI.comreports.
Head coach Jeff Hafley indicated that Ferrell would take weeks to return due to an undisclosed injury. The 29-year-old signed a one-year deal with Miami in late July and was expected to compete for a rotational edge-rusher role, but his roster spot may be in jeopardy as a result of the injury. Ferrell, who has now been on five different teams in five seasons, most recently suited up for the 49ers, where he recorded 24 tackles, including 4.0 sacks, in eight regular-season games in 2025.

Dolphins' Clelin Ferrell: Makes deal with Miami
The Dolphins signed Ferrell on Monday.
In a corresponding transaction, Miami waived defensive lineman Kahlil Saunders. Ferrell was a steady fixture in San Francisco's front seven toward the end of last season, and he managed to tally 4.0 sacks in eight regular-season games with the 49ers. He'll likely have a harder time getting opportunities among a group of Dolphins pass rushers that figures to be significantly more productive than San Francisco's was in 2025.

49ers' Clelin Ferrell: Productive when called upon
Ferrell finished the 2025 regular season with 24 tackles (13 solo), including 4.0 sacks, in eight games played for the 49ers.
Ferrell was one of several reserve linemen asked to fill in the big shoes left by DE Nick Bosa's season-ending knee injury. The 28-year-old Ferrell's finest performance came in Week 13 when he posted 2.0 sacks among his nine combined tackles against the Browns. The former No. 4 overall pick has shown some flashes of excellence during this brief run in San Francisco and also during his time as a starter with Washington in 2023. Ferrell -- an unrestricted free agent -- figures to draw interest this upcoming offseason from clubs who believe the defensive end is a late bloomer.

49ers' Clelin Ferrell: Monster performance vs. Browns
Ferrell compiled nine tackles (six solo), including 2.0 sacks, during San Francisco's win over the Browns on Sunday.
Ferrell had one of the best outings of his career, leading the team in both tackles and sacks. The 28-year-old has been productive across his limited playing time this season, tallying 14 tackles (nine solo), including 4.0 sacks, in just four games. He is now just 0.5 sacks shy of his career-best mark set during his rookie season in 2019.

Clelin Ferrell: To join 49ers' practice squad
Ferrell is slated to sign with San Francisco's practice squad, Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com reports.
Ferrell spent the offseason with Washington but was cut by the team prior to Week 1. He then inked with the Chargers' practice squad and was elevated Week 5 against the Commanders and made one assisted tackle before being cut Oct. 14. The veteran defensive end now looks slated to provide depth for a 49ers defense that has already lost star playmakers Nick Bosa (knee - ACL) and Fred Warner (ankle) for the year.

Clelin Ferrell: Cut loose by Washington
Ferrell was released by the Commanders on Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official website reports.
Ferrell appeared in all three preseason contests with Washington, compiling four total tackles (two solo) and a pass defensed. The defensive lineman recorded 26 total tackles (11 solo), including 3.5 sacks, while also adding a forced fumble over 14 regular-season contests with the Commanders in 2024. Ferrell will now look for another opportunity elsewhere, potentially even with an active roster.
