Needham and the Dolphins agreed to a one-year contract Saturday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. Needham appeared in five games with Miami during the 2023 campaign, recording seven tackles while playing 66 defensive snaps and 31 snaps with the special-teams unit. The 27-year-old will likely operate as a reserve option at cornerback with the Dolphins in 2024.
The Dolphins originally designated Needham for return 20 days ago, and after a few weeks of practice, it seems he's finally on the precipice of returning to game action. He should see notable playing time as soon as he's back in pads.
