The Miami Dolphins have decided not to activate edge rusher Shaq Barrett from the reserve/retired list, according to the South Florida Sun Sentinel. Barrett, who unexpectedly retired before training camp, expressed his desire to return to play but the Dolphins have chosen not to activate him, ruling him out for the season. The team had until 4 p.m. Thursday to make a decision, and they have decided to keep Barrett retired rather than release him, meaning he cannot play for any other team.
Barrett signed with the Dolphins in March but retired in July. Head coach Mike McDaniel expressed surprise at Barrett’s desire to return and mentioned that there are implications for the team and roster with his potential return. The Dolphins are now focused on their upcoming game against the Packers.
This decision by the Dolphins means that Barrett will not be able to play during the current season. Fans will have to wait and see if any further developments arise regarding Barrett’s status with the team. Stay tuned for updates on this story.
