Green, place JuJu Brents on injured reserve"},"content":{"rendered":"

MIAMI GARDENS \u2014 The Miami Dolphins<\/a> signed cornerback A.J. Green from the Los Angeles Rams practice squad on Wednesday and placed cornerback JuJu Brents<\/a> (foot) on the injured reserve list.<\/p>\n

Green, 27, has made two starts in 36 career games. The 6-foot-2, 199-pound Green has totaled 26 tackles, two interceptions, seven passes defended and two recovered fumbles. He has 14 special teams tackles.<\/p>\n

Green entered the league in 2020 with Cleveland as an undrafted free agent from Oklahoma State. In January 2024, he signed with Minnesota, and after being released by the Vikings in August, Green signed with the Rams.<\/p>\n

Green must be placed on the Dolphins\u2019 53-man roster because he was signed from a practice squad.<\/p>\n

Brents was injured in Sunday\u2019s 16-13 overtime victory against the Washington Commanders in Madrid, Spain<\/a>. Brents appeared in seven games for the Dolphins, making two starts, and totaling 14 tackles, one pass defended and one recovered fumble.<\/p>\n

Brents, who entered the league as a 2023 second-round pick by the Indianapolis Colts, has endured a slew of injuries in his brief career. He was developing into a dependable defender for the Dolphins after taking the starting spot held by cornerback Rasul Douglas, who is dealing with\u00a0 an ankle\/foot injury.<\/p>\n

Coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that the Dolphins were hoping Brents wouldn\u2019t be sidelined for the season after having surgery, but apparently he won\u2019t return. He\u2019s expected to make a full recovery for next season.<\/p>\n

The Dolphins (4-7), who have won back-to-back games and three of their past four<\/a>, have their bye this week. They\u2019re back in action on Nov. 30 when they host the New Orleans Saints.<\/p>\n

Brooks honored<\/p>\n

Dolphins linebacker Jordyn Brooks was named AFC Defensive Player of the Week for his performance in last Sunday\u2019s game, the NFL announced.<\/p>\n

Brooks led the team with 20 tackles (10 solo). His 20 tackles, which led the league in Week 11, are the most in a single game in the NFL this season.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the second AFC Defensive Player of the Week honor for Brooks after also earning it for his performance in Week 8 at the Atlanta Falcons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MIAMI GARDENS \u2014 The Miami Dolphins signed cornerback A.J.
