The Dolphins claimed Dodson off waivers Tuesday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
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
The Seahawks placed Dodson (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Thursday, John Boyle of the team's 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.
