Sieler tallied three tackles (two solo) including 1.0 sacks, one interception and one pass defensed during the Dolphins' 24-3 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.
Sieler made his first sack of the 2024 regular season in a strong effort by Miami's defense versus Seattle. His sack came on a dominant rep versus left tackle Charles Cross. The versatile D-lineman has emerged as one of the Dolphins' bester playmakers on defense, and he'll be relied upon to make an impact versus Will Levis and the Titans on Monday Night Football in Week 4.

Dolphins' Zach Sieler: Career-high 10.0 sacks in 2023
Rotowire
Sieler tallied 63 tackles (32 solo), including 10.0 sacks, one interception that he returned for a touchdown, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries across 17 regular-season games with the Dolphins in 2023.
Sieler had never previously surpassed 3.5 sacks in a season, but he managed to thrive in defensive coordinator Vic Fangio's scheme. He remains under contract with Miami for the next three seasons, though the team does have a potential 'out' after the 2024 campaign. As long as the Dolphins retain Christian Wilkins this offseason, he and Sieler will once again combine to form one of the NFL's most formidable interior duos along the defensive line next season.

Dolphins' Zach Sieler: Third straight game with sack
Rotowire
Sieler finished Sunday's 56-19 loss to the Ravens with five tackles (three solo), including one sack, and a forced fumble.
Sieler got to Lamar Jackson late in the first quarter that led to a Baltimore punt two plays later. He also forced his first fumble of the season when he stripped Gus Edwards on a run early in the third quarter. After totaling 10 sacks in his first six seasons, Sieler has erupted for 9.5 sacks on the year and has a chance to reach double-digits in Miami's Week 18 contest against Buffalo.

Dolphins' Zach Sieler: Inks three-year extension
Rotowire
Sieler and the Dolphins agreed to a three-year extension worth up to $38.65 million Sunday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel Reports.
Furones notes that the deal includes $20 million guaranteed. Sieler was claimed off waivers by Miami in December of 2019 after being waived by the Ravens. He's started in every game for the Dolphins since 2020 and recorded career highs last year in tackles (70) and forced fumbles (two) while matching a career-high with 3.5 sacks. He's formed a formidable duo with defensive lineman Christian Wilkins -- who has sat out of team drills while dealing with a contract dispute of his own -- and the extension ensures that the Dolphins will have at least one of their core interior lineman on the books for the foreseeable future.

Dolphins' Zach Sieler: Listed as questionable
Rotowire
Sieler (ankle/thumb) has been given a questionable tag for Sunday's season finale against the Patriots, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.
This designation for Sieler is unsurprising, as he practiced in limited fashion all week. If he ends up being unable to go, look for Avery Moss to handle the majority of the defensive end depth responsibilities.

Ravens' Zach Sieler: Jumps to active roster
Rotowire
The Ravens promoted Sieler to the active roster Saturday.
Sieler only played in two games with the Ravens last year after they took him in the seventh round of the 2018 NFL Draft. He's spent the first four games of this season on the Ravens' practice squad, but he'll now add depth for Sunday's game versus the Steelers since Brandon Williams (knee) is questionable.
