The Miami Dolphins signed former New England Patriots cornerback Myles Battle on Wednesday, one day after he became a free agent.
Battle, 26, played in five games for the Patriots in the 2025 season, including 29 on defense and 54 on special teams. But New England fired Battle before the playoffs began and re-signed him to the practice squad.

Two days after Super Bowl X, the Patriots announced that 11 players on their practice squad would remain on futures contracts. Battle is not on that list, making him a free agent. The dolphin didn’t wait long before it pounced.
Battle began his NFL career with the Kansas City Chiefs, joining the team as an undrafted free agent following the 2024 NFL Draft. He was waived at the end of the team’s first training camp and joined the Patriots later that year.
In six career games, Battle has recorded three pass deflections and five tackles.
The Dolphins have seven cornerbacks — Rasual Douglas, Jake Jones, Kade Kehu, Artie Burns, Ethan Bonner, Kendall Sheffield and AJ Green — on expiring contracts.
