Terms of the deal were not disclosed by the Dolphins, who will visit the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday in an AFC wild-card game.
Houston spent his first eight seasons with the Chiefs (2011-18) before playing with the Indianapolis Colts (2019-20), Baltimore Ravens (2021-22) and Carolina Panthers (2023).
Houston, who turns 35 on Jan. 21, recorded nine tackles and half a sack in seven games (all starts) with the Panthers this season. He asked for his release from the team last month in a bid to sign with a contender.
A four-time Pro Bowl selection, Houston has 112 sacks, 19 forced fumbles, 14 fumble recoveries and five interceptions in 170 career games (151 starts).
