Eskridge (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Eskridge was limited in practice all week, but he has passed the league's five-step concussion protocol and will play in Sunday's regular-season opener in Indianapolis. Eskridge appeared in six regular-season games for the Dolphins in 2024 and logged three catches (on as many targets) for 44 yards while adding 146 kick return yards.

Dolphins' Dee Eskridge: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Eskridge (concussion) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Colts, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
After beginning Miami's week of practice with consecutive limited sessions, Eskridge was a full participant Friday, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday. However, the 28-year-old still needs to clear concussion protocol in order to play in Week 1. If he's unable to do so, Tahj Washington could see a bump in snaps as a reserve wideout.

Rotowire
Eskridge (concussion) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Dolphins' Dee Eskridge: Misses Monday's practice
Rotowire
Eskridge (undisclosed) was held out of practice Monday, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
With Eskridge sidelined for Monday's practice, he may be in jeopardy of missing Miami's regular-season opener against the Colts. The Western Michigan product appeared in six games for the Dolphins last season, catching all three of his targets for 44 yards across 33 offensive snaps. If Eskridge does sit out Sunday's contest, Tahj Washington is the next man up on the Dolphins' depth chart at wide receiver.

Dolphins' Dee Eskridge: Suits up for preseason tie
Rotowire
Eskridge (hamstring) didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 24-24 preseason tie against the Bears. He also had a 41-yard kickoff return and a 16-yard punt return.
Eskridge hurt his hamstring Aug. 2 but was cleared for game action just over a week later. He's competing for a depth spot at wide receiver, and Eskridge's ability to contribute as a return man on special teams could be his key to making Miami's 53-man roster. Eskridge will look to bolster his case for a spot when the Dolphins continue preseason play Saturday against the Lions.

Dolphins' Dee Eskridge: Injures hamstring Saturday
Rotowire
Eskridge was carted off the field during Saturday's training camp practice after injuring his right hamstring, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
Eskridge being carted off may have been a precautionary measure. Nevertheless, he'll undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury, and he could be in danger of missing the Dolphins' preseason opener against the Bears on Aug. 10. If Eskridge were to be sidelined, that would open the door for Erik Ezukanma, Tahj Washington and Tarik Black to see more practice reps.

Rotowire
Eskridge (finger) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Eskridge popped up on Friday's injury report due to a finger injury, which is severe enough for him to be sidelined for Sunday's regular-season finale. The 2021 first-round pick appeared in six regular-season games, catching all three of his targets for 44 yards while adding 146 kick return yards. Raheem Mostert and Malik Washington are the top two candidates to return kicks Sunday due to Eskridge's absence.

Rotowire
Eskridge (knee) will be listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Dolphins' Dee Eskridge: Joins active roster
Rotowire
The Dolphins elevated Eskridge to their active roster ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Titans.
The 2021 second-round pick's elevation provides depth in Miami's wide-receiver room, as only Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Braxton Berrios were without injury designations.

Eskridge logged seven offensive snaps during Sunday's 24-3 loss at Seattle, catching his only target for 30 yards. He also returned a kick for 28 yards. With the Dolphins dealing with a bevy of injuries in their wide-receiver room, it wouldn't be surprising to see him get the nod again in Week 4.

Dee Eskridge: Dumped by Seattle
Rotowire
The Seahawks waived Eskridge on Tuesday, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.
The Seahawks used the No. 56 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft on Eskridge, but he was never able to stay healthy and failed to force his way onto the field when he was available. Eskridge wraps up his Seattle career with 17 catches for 122 yards and one touchdown on 34 targets across 24 regular-season games. The 27-year-old also has an ability to return kicks and will look for a fresh start elsewhere.

Seahawks' Dee Eskridge: Sits out preseason game
Rotowire
Eskridge missed Saturday's 16-15 preseason loss to the Titans with an undisclosed injury, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Eskridge's roster spot was always in jeopardy, and missing the week of practice and the second preseason game won't help his case. Particularly, Laviska Shenault has filled Eskridge's role admirably, working as a returner and a gadget player. Eskridge will need to get healthy quickly and perform well in the final preseason game versus the Browns in order to make the final roster.

Seahawks' Dee Eskridge: Taking part in OTAs
Rotowire
Eskridge (ribs) has been an active participant at the Seahawks' OTAs, Tim Weaver of Seahawks Wire reports.
Eskridge ended the 2023 campaign on injured reserve with a rib injury, but he now appears to be fully healthy at OTAs. The 27-year-old re-signed with Seattle in March after failing to record a reception over 16 offensive snaps in four games last season. The wide receiver has operated primarily as a return-specialist over the last two years, a role that he'll likely remain in with the Seahawks in 2024.
