The Miami Dolphins have signed former Pro Bowl return specialist Clifton Smith, who spent the previous two seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Smith has played 20 games in his NFL career and was a Pro Bowl selection as a rookie in 2008. He averaged 27.6 yards on 36 kickoff returns in his first year, then led the NFL last year with a kickoff return average of 29.1 yards.
A pair of concussions, however, limited Smith to just 11 games in 2009. He also averaged 10.1 yards on 23 punt returns last year.
The Dolphins opened a roster spot by waiving offensive lineman Joe Reitz, who was claimed off waivers this past Sunday.
