The Miami Dolphins added help to their injured linebacking corps Saturday by signing former Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Rey Maualuga, a league source told ESPN, confirming multiple reports.

Maualuga, 30, played eight years for the Bengals, including two seasons with current Miami defensive coordinator Matt Burke. The familiarity between Maualuga and Burke partially led to the signing. Maualuga registered 584 combined tackles and 4.0 sacks during his career.

The Dolphins are hurting at middle linebacker after losing second-round pick and potential starter Raekwon McMillan (knee) for the season in Miami's first exhibition game.
