The Miami Dolphins pulled off a roster shake-up, claiming defensive end Jamree Kromah off waivers a couple of days before their big Week 8 game against the Patriots. This isn’t just a minor tweak; it’s a move that brought in a fresh face right as the team heads into a crucial part of their schedule.
Kromah Gets a New Home After Bears Cut
Kromah is getting a new start in Miami, but it came after he was cut by the Bears. Chicago made room for him when they brought in defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons via a trade on Thursday. Talk about a domino effect, right? Kromah’s time with the Bears this season was pretty limited, playing just 28 defensive snaps across two appearances. In that small sample, he managed two tackles and one tackle for loss. What’s wild is this was his first taste of regular season action since he signed with Chicago as an undrafted free agent back in 2024. Now, he’s got a new opportunity to prove himself.
Rob Beal Waived to Make Room for the New Guy
To make space for Kromah, the Dolphins waived defensive end Rob Beal. Beal had been a consistent presence for Miami, logging 37 tackles and a sack over 27 games across the last four seasons. It’s always tough to see a veteran go, especially one who’s been with the team for a bit. This move signals that the Dolphins are clearly looking for something different on their defensive line, even if it means bringing in a player with minimal NFL experience this year.
This roster switch goes down right before a big Week 8 matchup for the Dolphins against the Patriots. It’ll be interesting to see if Kromah gets any immediate action and what kind of impact he can have for his new squad.
