Dodson accumulated 10 tackles (five solo) in Thursday's Week 13 loss to Green Bay.
Dodson played every one of Miami's defensive snaps in the contest, the eighth time he's done that this season. The veteran linebacker paced the Dolphins in tackles and registered double-digit stops for the third time on the campaign. Dodson is up to 71 tackles through nine games, putting him three away from the career-high 74 stops he recorded in 2023 with Buffalo.

Dolphins' Tyrel Dodson: Nabs pick vs. Patriots
Rotowire
Dodson recorded five total tackles (two solo) and intercepted one pass in Sunday's 34-15 win over the Patriots.
Dodson, claimed off waivers by the Dolphins on Nov. 12, played 45 defensive snaps in just his second game with Miami after Anthony Walker exited Sunday's win with a hamstring injury. The Texas A&M product led the Seahawks in total tackles before being waived and has now accumulated 76 stops across 11 appearances this season. There's a strong chance that Walker is sidelined for the Dolphins' Week 13 matchup in Green Bay, so Dodson will likely continue to see increased defensive work alongside Jordyn Brooks in Miami's linebacker corps.

Dodson was surprisingly let go by the Seahawks on Monday, and it didn't take long for the 26-year-old linebacker to find a new home. He led Seattle with 71 tackles across nine regular-season games, and he'll bolster Miami's depth at inside linebacker alongside David Long, Anthony Walker and Jordyn Brooks.

Seahawks' Tyrel Dodson: Registers sack in Week 3
Rotowire
Dodson finished Sunday's 17-3 win over Miami with five tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks.
Dodson got to quarterback Skylar Thompson for a seven-yard sack on the Dolphins' first offensive drive of the second half, which caused the Dolphins to punt one play later. Dodson didn't play 100 percent of the Seahawks' defensive snaps in Week 3 as he did over the first two games of the regular season, but the 26-year-old is expected to see heavy usage as Seattle's starting inside linebacker, especially for as long as fellow starter Jerome Baker (hamstring) is sidelined. Dodson has registered 23 tackles (16 solo), including 1.0 sacks, one pass defended and one forced fumble through the first three games of the regular season.

Seahawks' Tyrel Dodson: Could play Sunday
Rotowire
Dodson (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Patriots, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Dodson was able to bounce back from Wednesday's DNP with a full practice session Friday, and he's now got a shot at suiting up Sunday. If the 26-year-old linebacker is forced to miss the Seahawks' Week 2 contest, expect Drake Thomas to see increased work with Seattle's first-team defense.
Dodson (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Dodson opened the week as a DNP in Wednesday's practice, but he was able to return to the field in a restricted capacity Thursday. If he's able to log another practice Friday, that should bode well for his chances of playing against the Patriots on Sunday.

Rotowire

Dodson landed on the active/PUP list Thursday with an undisclosed injury, but he appears to be over the issue and will begin practicing at Seattle's training camp. After spending the first four years of his career with the Bills, Dodson signed a one-year deal with the Seahawks, where he will compete for a starting role in the linebackers corps following the departure of Bobby Wagner and Jordyn Brooks.

Seahawks' Tyrel Dodson: Heads to PUP list
Rotowire
The Seahawks placed Dodson (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Rotowire
Dodson (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Bills' Tyrel Dodson: Questionable for playoff game
Rotowire
Dodson (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's wild-card round game against the Steelers, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.
Dodson's set to be a limited participant once again in practice Friday. He was unable to return to the regular-season finale against the Dolphins after injuring his shoulder in the first half. If the starting linebacker is unable to play Sunday, Tyler Matakevich could take on a larger role in a game that may feature plenty of running plays with winter weather in the forecast.
