Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald reports that the Dolphins have activated DT Robert Nkemdiche from the team’s PUP list on Monday.
Beasley says it’s still unclear if he will play against the Steelers Monday night, but it’s clear Miami plans to see what he can do for them over the final few months of the season.
Nkemdiche, 25, was taken in the first round out of Ole Miss by the Cardinals back in 2016. He was in the final year of his four-year, $7.6 million contract and set to make a base salary of $1,122,808 for the 2019 season when the Cardinals waived him.
Arizona declined Nkemdiche’s fifth-year option back in May and later moved on from him after he showed up to training camp out of shape. The Dolphins later signed him to a one-year, $1.16 million deal.
In 2018, Nkemdiche appeared in 10 games for the Cardinals and recorded 32 tackles, 4.5 sacks, a forced fumble and a pass defense.
