Gustin's (undisclosed) practice-squad contract with the Dolphins expired Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Gustin first joined the Dolphins in June and didn't appear in a game for the team before landing on the practice squad injured list Oct. 13. While the nature of this issue was never disclosed, the 25-year-old linebacker went on to finish the campaign on this list. Gustin tallied nine tackles while appearing in six games for Cleveland in 2021, and he'll likely seek to carve out a reserve role elsewhere heading into the 2023 season.

The Dolphins placed Gustin (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured reserve Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gustin will not be eligible for any activations from the practice squad for at least the next four games while on IR. The fourth-year linebacker recorded nine tackles and played a career-low 130 defensive snaps over six games with Cleveland last season, and he'll look to work his way back onto an active roster when healthy again.

Gustin signed a contract with Miami on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Gustin will join the Dolphins after spending the first three seasons of his career with Cleveland, registering 52 tackles over 25 games. The 25-year-old joins Miami after the team waived fellow defensive end Daeshon Hall in a corresponding move Wednesday.

Cleveland signed Gustin to a 53-man roster Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Gustin gets the call-up after the Browns placed Takkarist McKinley (Achilles) on injured reserve. He's appeared in three games for Cleveland this season, including Monday's loss to the Raiders, when he recovered a fumble that led to the team's first score. With Jadeveon Clowney (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list and Myles Garrett dealing with a groin injury, Gustin could be part of a big line rotation Saturday against Green Bay.

Gustin was waived by the Browns on Monday, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gustin suited up in 14 games for the Browns last year and recorded 30 tackles (13 solo). The 24-year-old defensive end could find a depth role elsewhere before the season starts.

Gustin (knee) returned to practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gustin injured his knee at last Friday's practice and subsequently sat out the Browns' second preseason game. His return to practice after less than a week on the sideline indicates the issue was never too serious. Barring any setbacks, he still projects to help provide depth at defensive end for Cleveland when the kick off the season.

Gustin injured his knee at Friday's practice, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gustin was not on the field for pregame warm-ups Sunday after leaving Friday's practice with a knee injury. The extent of his injury is unknown. Cameron Malveaux and Joe Jackson will likely see increased workloads during the remainder of the preseason.

Gustin was activated off the COVID-19 list Tuesday, Scott Petrak of The Chronicle-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gustin spent a little under two weeks on the COVID list but has now passed on protocols to rejoin the active roster. The third-year defensive end has played in 279 defensive snaps this season and should return to a rotational role on the Browns' line for Monday's matchup with the Ravens.

Gustin was added to the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

With just two days separating him from a matchup against the Jaguars, Gustin's transition to the inactive list sheds doubt on his Week 12 status. Having either tested positive for COVID-19 or come in close contact with someone who has, Gustin will be out at least five days given this recent development. That is, of course, unless the positive COVID test is overturned by multiple subsequent negative results. Gustin logged his third start of 2020 Week 11 against the Eagles, collecting three tackles and a QB hit.

Gustin will start at defensive end in Sunday's game against the Eagles, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Myles Garrett (illness) is inactive, so Gustin will make his third start of the season. He produced just two tackles over his previous two starts, so the second-year pro doesn't come close to the IDP upside of Garrett.
