As the Miami Dolphins reach for linebacker depth after the season-ending knee injury to promising rookie Raekwon McMillan, the team has decided to bring in and sign former Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Rey Maualuga. He posted a photo of himself in Dolphins gear inside the practice bubble in Davie on Saturday.
Maualuga, 30, came in for a workout with the Dolphins a few days ago along with fellow veteran and former Dolphin Kelvin Sheppard, who recently signed with the Chicago Bears.
Maualuga was a former second round draft pick for the Bengals back in 2009, and he spent eight seasons with them as one of the staple linebackers in their defense, starting 104 games, making 584 tackles, four sacks, seven interceptions and six forced fumbles.
