Campbell

Campbell will stay with Miami for a fourth consecutive season following a 2023 campaign that saw him register a career-high 15 tackles. Campbell will likely remain a special teams player and a rotational defensive player in 2024.

Financial terms are not yet available, but it’s a safe bet Campbell was retained for less than the “low” RFA tender amount of $3.116 million. Otherwise he likely would have been non-tendered. A 28-year-old former undrafted free agent, Campbell appeared in 31 games over the past two seasons but made just two starts. He’s a depth/special teams piece who can contribute on defense in a pinch.

The team ruled out an ACL tear following Saturday’s preseason finale but further testing is required to establish a baseline for his return to action. It is likely Campbell will find himself on injured reserve in short order, leaving the Dolphins with yet another blow to their retooled secondary.

Campbell was expected to serve as depth in the secondary after the team recently retooled the defensive side of the roster, in addition to a role on special teams. He has appeared in 26 games over three seasons, 16 of which came in the 2022 season. He left the field with help of the training staff and was unable to place any weight on his leg.
