The Dolphins added a 17th player to their group Tuesday
The Miami Dolphins filled out their practice squad Tuesday when they picked up edge defender Derrick McLendon, according to NFL reporter Aaron Wilson.
McLendon, who is listed at 6-4, 250, spent training camp with the Carolina Panthers after signing as an undrafted rookie free agent out of Colorado. McLendon played one season for the Buffaloes after transferring from Florida State.
For reference, the Dolphins made 22 practice squad elevations in their 17 regular season games, plus two more for the playoff game at Kansas City. Cameron Goode, Chase Winovich, Tanner Conner, Ethan Bonner and Melvin Ingram all were elevated three times during the regular season, with Goode and Ingram eventually getting signed to the active roster.
The Dolphins elevated at least one player for every one of their games except for the Week 8 game against the New England Patriots and the Week 9 matchup against the Chiefs in Germany.Alain Poupart is the publisher/editor of All Dolphins and co-host of the All Dolphins Podcast.
