Dolphins' Robert Beal: Taking talents to South Beach
Rotowire
Beal signed a one-year contract with the Dolphins on Thursday.
Beal was drafted by the 49ers in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft and spent the first three years of his professional career with San Francisco. He mostly served in a rotational role on the Niners' defensive line last year while also contributing on special teams. Beal was limited to just seven regular-season games due to a groin injury and concussion, finishing with 14 tackles (three solo). He'll get a fresh start in Miami and look to earn a bigger role for himself on defense.

Rotowire
Beal (concussion) is inactive for Monday's game against the Panthers, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.
Beal was unable to practice during Week 12 prep while in the league's concussion protocol, which he wasn't able to clear ahead of Monday's contest. The third-year defensive lineman will aim to return to practice in the hopes that he can play against the Browns on Sunday. Keion White and Clelin Ferrell are in line for a slight increase in rotational snaps at defensive end in Beal's absence.

Beal (concussion) was a non-participant at practice Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Beal suffered a concussion in the team's 41-22 win over the Cardinals in Week 11, so it comes as no surprise that he opened the week on the sidelines at practice. The defensive lineman will have to clear concussion protocol in order to play in Monday night's matchup with the Panthers.
