Fede

Fede suffered the injury Thursday night against the Falcons. Sprained knees usually carry a two-to-four week timetable, making him extremely questionable for the start of the regular season. Fede should fill a rotational role when healthy.

A seventh-round pick out of Marist, Fede played just 82 snaps on defense his rookie year. He did record a sack and had a game-winning blocked punt. Fede could work his way into a situational role with a strong offseason.

Fede appeared to be ticketed for the practice squad, but the Jordan news could open a spot for Marist’s all-time sack leader. Even if he makes the squad, there is little chance Fede will have an impact this season.

Fede racked up 30.5 career sacks at Marist and was the Pioneer Football League Defensive Player of the Year as a senior. He’s raw and may ultimately be ticketed for the practice squad.

He’s the fourth FCS player the Dolphins have selected today. Fede (6-foot-3, 276) is Marist’s all-time leader in sacks with 30.5 and was the Pioneer Football League Defensive Player of the Year as a senior (13 sacks, 18 TFLs, four batted passes and one forced fumble). There are some raw tools here.

Fede, 26, played 171 rotational snaps for Miami last season but recorded no sacks. He’s near the bottom of the depth chart at defensive end in Buffalo.
