MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – The Miami Dolphins today announced they have signed safety Adrian Colbert off Seattle’s practice squad, activated linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel from injured reserve and promoted defensive tackle Gerald Willis from the practice squad. The team also placed wide receiver Gary Jennings, safety Reshad Jones and safety Bobby McCain on injured reserve.
Linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel was moved to the active roster Wednesday, one week after being designated to return from injured reserve. The rookie fifth-round pick from the University of Wisconsin has some versatility with his ability to set the edge and rush the passer.
Dolphins Head Coach Brian Flores said, “When we drafted him, we thought we were getting a young, physical, smart, tough young player who could play a few different roles. He did a good job early in training camp.”
Van Ginkel was Miami’s fifth-round pick (151st overall) in the 2019 NFL draft but was placed on injured reserve prior to playing in a regular-season game. He was a third-team All-Big Ten selection as a senior in 2018 at Wisconsin after totaling 60 tackles, 5.5 sacks, three passes defensed and two forced fumbles.
