According to Adam Beasley, the Dolphins have been assigned Brazilian DT Durval Neto as a part of the International Player Pathway program.
Neto, 25, played the past four years in the Brazilian football league. Neto is also an international judo champion.
The International Player Pathway program was instituted by the NFL in 2017 as a way to grow the game of football. Each year one of the NFL’s eight divisions will be randomly chosen to receive one international player each.
Those players don’t count against the 90-man roster limit and can be carried as an eleventh practice squad member if they’re not signed to a contract.
