Earlier this week, the agents for Shaq Barrett announced that the pass rusher had applied to be reinstated into the NFL. Four months after announcing his retirement in July, Barrett wanted to unretire and return to the league.

GREEN BAY, WI — The Miami Dolphins won't be activating pass rusher Shaq Barrett off the reserve/retired list, according to a league source. This means Barrett, who retired before the season, won't play this season.

Two-time Super Bowl champion and former All-Pro linebacker Shaq Barrett has applied for reinstatement to play immediately after he had previously announced his retirement from the NFL in July, according to ESPN.
