The Dolphins released Hull (undisclosed) on Wednesday due to a failed physical, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The specifics surrounding the failed physical remain unclear, and Hull spent the 2019 season on the reserve/PUP list with an undisclosed injury. The 28-year-old will look to get healthy as he's free to sign with any club heading into 2020.

Hull (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/PUP list Monday, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Having been placed on the reserve/PUP list prior to Miami's cutdown to a 53-man roster, Hull's season now comes to an end. The reserve linebacker is set to become an unrestricted free agent in 2020.

Hull (undisclosed) was placed on the active/physically unable to perform list by the Dolphins on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
It wasn't known that Hull had been dealing with an injury coming into training camp, so this news comes as a surprise. The Penn State product joined the Dolphins as an undrafted free agent in 2015 and has been a backup linebacker for the team ever since. He'll likely start camp being unable to participate, but can come off this list at any time.

Hull signed a contract with the Dolphins on Thursday, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hull joined the Dolphins as an undrafted free agent in 2015 and has been a backup linebacker for the team ever since. He missed the first eight games of 2018 due to a knee injury and was only able to record nine tackles (seven solo) in eight contests once he returned. He'll likely be a depth linebacker and special teams player once again in 2019.

Hull (knee) was activated off injured reserve Wednesday, the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hull had 21 days to be activated following his participation in practice Oct. 17, but it appears he only needed two of the three weeks to prove to the coaching staff and front office he was ready to contribute. Hull accounted for 183 defensive snaps and 341 special teams snaps last season and he should resume a role working behind Kiko Alonso.

Hull (knee) took part in Wednesday's practice session, Alan Poupart of the Dolphins' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hull will be eligible to be activated off IR on Oct. 26 and his participation in practice Wednesday suggests that he could be on target to do so. The fourth-year linebacker recorded 35 tackles (27 solo) last season and figures to return to a reserve role at linebacker when added to the 53-man roster.

Hull (knee) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Adam Beasley and Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
The decision to put Hull on the IR shouldn't come as a major surprise since the linebacker suffered an MCL injury the first week of the preseason. Still, he will be eligible to return halfway through the season if he can get back to full health.

Hull (knee) suffered an MCL injury in Thursday's preseason opener against the Bucs and is expected to miss several weeks, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hull's injury is not expected to be season ending, but there this no clear timetable for his return yet. The 27-year-old is entering his fourth season with the Dolphins and competing for a role at linebacker. Expect an update when more clarity is provided regarding his recovery time.

Hull injured his left knee and won't return to Thursday's preseason opener against the Buccaneers, Chris Perkins of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hull needed to be carted off the field, which obviously isn't a good sign. The fourth-year linebacker is a core special-teamer for the Dolphins and his absence could force Miami to look to the free-agent market.

Hull had 35 tackles and a fumble recovery in 16 games for Miami during the 2017 season.
EDGE Analysis
Hull actually started two games at LB for the Dolphins earlier this season but was mainly used on special teams after Week 4. He provides the Dolphins with depth at OLB and that is likely where his future lies should he remain with the team.
