Dolphins' Justin Bethel: Good to go Week 1
Bethel (knee) was not included among the Dolphins' inactive players ahead of Sunday's contest with the Chargers.
Bethel will be ready to play Sunday after popping up with a knee issue during practice Week 1. The 33-year-old recorded 26 tackles, four passes defended and an interception across 17 games with Miami last season, though he'll likely contribute primarily on special teams Sunday.

Dolphins' Justin Bethel: Remaining in Miami
The Dolphins re-signed Bethel on Friday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Bethel, who's heading into his 13th NFL campaign, is now set to suit up for the Dolphins for a second consecutive season following Friday's agreement. The 32-year-old is in line to continue serving as one of Miami's top special-teams contributors in 2023.

Dolphins' Justin Bethel: Knocks away two passes in win
Bethel recorded two passes defended and seven tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 39-17 win versus the Browns.
Bethel showed up all over the field while almost evenly splitting his 39 total snaps between defense and special teams. While the 30-year-old logged six of his seven total tackles on defense, his biggest impact in this phase came in coverage, as he finished with the Dolphins' second-most passes defended behind cornerback Kader Kohou (three). Bethel played just 75 of his 271 snaps on defense over the first nine games of the season, so he should return to a core special-teams role following Miami's Week 11 bye.

Justin Bethel: Let go Tuesday
Bethel was released by the Patriots on Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
This moves comes as somewhat of a surprise given that Bethel was a core special teamer over the past three seasons with New England, accumulating 32 tackles over 882 special-teams snaps played during this span. Nevertheless, the 32-year-old is now free to join up with a new team heading into the 2022 campaign.

Justin Bethel: Released by Baltimore
Bethel was released by the Ravens on Monday in order to recoup a compensatory draft pick, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports. "That's tough for us because, I told him, I think he's the best special teams player in the NFL, and he's playing that way," said head coach John Harbaugh. "So that's going to be a blow, and we're going to have to find a way to overcome that."
Bethel, who has tallied six tackles and a fumble recovery across seven games, will save the Ravens a fourth-round compensatory pick following his release. A special-teams standout, the veteran probably won't have to wait long to find a new home.
