The Dolphins are signing Harrison to a one-year deal, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Harrison logged 29 tackles and 2.0 sacks in 10 regular-season games with the Falcons in 2025. The 2018 third-rounder started his pro career as a safety then transitioned to linebacker, a position Miami needed to bolster ahead of the coming campaign. He'll provide his new team with depth at the position as well as special-teams ability.
Harrison will not play in Sunday's game against the Saints due to an illness, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports. Per McElhaney, Harrison, Kirk Cousins and David Onyemata all woke up Sunday morning feeling ill, but only Harrison will sit out of Sunday's regular-season finale. As such, Harrison will end the 2025 regular season with 29 tackles (20 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and two pass defenses across 10 games (four starts) while serving in a rotational role on defense and as a contributor on special teams. The 2018 third-rounder signed a one-year contract with the Falcons in October and will be an unrestricted free agent in the offseason.
Harrison posted 11 tackles (nine solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defense during the Falcons' 30-27 overtime loss to the Panthers on Sunday. Harrison led the Falcons with a season-high 11 tackles during Sunday's OT loss while playing 93 total snaps (78 on defense, 15 on special teams). He recorded a sack for a second consecutive game after getting to Bryce Young for a seven-yard loss early in the fourth quarter, which led to the Panthers punting on the very next play. Harrison has earned a larger role in the Falcons' defense after being signed off the practice squad to the active roster in late October, though his defensive snap count would take a hit if Divine Deablo (forearm) is activated from injured reserve ahead of Atlanta's Week 12 clash against New Orleans.
