The Miami Dolphins made a move on the practice Thursday morning, signing defensive tackle Neil Farrell to the practice squad. He filled the opening created when quarterback Tim Boyle was signed to the active roster Saturday.

Farrell is a two-year veteran who has appeared in 12 career games with the Las Vegas Raiders and the Kansas CIty Chiefs. He has a Super Bowl ring from playing with the Chiefs last season.

Farrell recorded 13 tackles, one pass defensed and two tackles for loss over the course of his 12 games played.

He was selected in the fourth round of the NFL Draft in 2022 by the Raiders.

Farrell worked out for the Dolphins on Wednesday, according to NFL reporter Aaron Wilson. Joining Farrell for the workout was fellow defensive lineman Tyler Manoa, who was waived this summer by the Arizona Cardinals.
