The Patriots released Flowers (foot) from the reserve/PUP list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Flowers signed with the Patriots on a one-year deal on Aug. 8 after spending last season with Miami and the three previous campaigns with the Lions. He didn't have the chance to suit up in the regular season, and although he was designated for return from the reserve/PUP list on Oct. 5, he didn't seem to progress enough with his foot injury for the Patriots to keep him on the roster. If Flowers clears waivers, he'll look to catch onto another roster elsewhere.

Flowers (foot) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Flowers remains on the reserve-PUP list, which gives the Patriots a 21-day window to activate him to the team's active roster now that he's begun practicing, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. The 30-year-old linebacker has appeared in 79 games throughout his eight-year career, recording 265 tackles, including 31.5 sacks.

The Patriots placed Flowers (undisclosed) on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Flowers will need to sit out at least the first four games of the season as a result of the transaction. A foot injury limited the veteran to four appearances with Miami last season.

Flowers (undisclosed) landed on the active/PUP list Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The linebacker received the designation after signing with the Patriots earlier Tuesday. Flowers can return to the active roster at any time before Week 1. The two-time Super Bowl champion with New England suffered a foot injury in 2022 and played in just four games for the Dolphins.

Flowers signed a contract with the Patriots on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Flowers spent last season in Miami, only appearing in four games and spending the rest of the season on IR due to a foot injury. The 29-year-old had a tryout with New England on Monday and showed enough to earn the opportunity with the team with which he spent the first four seasons of his career. He'll now work to earn a spot on their 53-man roster.

Flowers (foot) had a workout in New England on Monday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Flowers only played in four games for the Dolphins in 2022 due to a season-ending foot injury. His workout with the Patriots indicates he has fully recovered from the issue. It is possible he could return to the same team he spent the first four seasons of his career with if he makes enough of an impression at the workout.

Coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday that he doesn't foresee a return from Flowers (foot) any time soon, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Flowers has missed Miami's last six games as he continues to recover from a foot injury he sustained in Week 6 versus Minnesota, and McDaniel's comments would suggest he's likely to miss at least one or two more weeks. In the meantime, the Dolphins will continue to lean heavily on Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips for reps on the edge.

Miami placed Flowers (foot) on injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Flowers suffered a foot injury during the team's Week 6 loss to the Vikings and will now be sidelined for at least four games after landing on IR. His absence leaves Andrew Van Ginkel as the only backup outside linebacker behind Melvin Ingram and Jaelan Phillips, but it's possible Miami makes a move for depth before Sunday's matchup against Pittsburgh.

Flowers (foot) is out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Vikings.

EDGE Analysis

Flowers' absence will leave the Dolphins light on depth at outside linebacker, with Andrew Van Ginkel now the only reserve at the position.

Flowers is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings with a foot injury, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Flowers went to the Dolphins' locker room after picking up this injury at some point during the first half, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. The veteran recorded four tackles and played 61 defensive snaps over three games this season. With Flowers out, expect Andrew Van Ginkel to see an increased role behind starting outside linebackers Melvin Ingram and Jaelan Phillips.
