Two-time Pro Bowl pass rusher Shaquil Barrett won't be making a midseason return from retirement after all. The Miami Dolphins had until 4 p.m. ET on Thursday to decide whether or not they'd activate Barrett from the reserve/retired list.

Barrett has filed paperwork to undo his July 20 retirement, agents Robert Bailey and Drew Rosenhaus told ESPN's Adam Schefter Tuesday morning. His rights belong to the Miami Dolphins, with whom he signed on March 12.

Shaquil Barrett has reversed course again and reportedly filed paperwork to be reinstated, four months after he abruptly retired in July. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the two-time Pro Bowl pass rusher has applied to make an immediate return to the NFL.
