AFC East Rival Signs Linebacker From Patriots Practice Squad

Calvin Munson never really got a chance with the New England Patriots this season.

But the soon-to-be 29-year-old linebacker will now get a shot with the Miami Dolphins.

The Dolphins announced Saturday that they signed Munson off of the Patriots practice squad. Munson will now be on Miami’s active roster as the Dolphins were in need of a linebacker after they placed Jerome Baker on injured reserve.

Munson played sparingly for the Patriots this season, suiting up in just three games. He was active for the first two games of the season and wasn’t elevated from the practice squad again until New England’s Week 10 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts in Germany.
