The Dolphins have signed 23-year old rookie OT Lydon Murtha off of the Lions’ practice squad.  The 6′7″, 307 pound Murtha was a 7th round pick out of Nebraska but the Dolphins must have liked something they saw out of him on tape to take a chance on him.  The Dolphins released 26-year old OG Shawn Murphy to make room on the roster for him.  He has not played in any regular season games in his two years with the Dolphins as he always seems to be hurt.

UPDATE:  Shawn Murphy has been claimed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers off waivers from the Dolphins.
