Eskridge (shoulder) was listed as a DNP on Monday's estimated practice report, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Eskridge was carted to the locker room during the first half of Sunday's game against the Falcons due to a shoulder injury, and he was not cleared to return. Monday's report is an estimate since the Dolphins didn't practice, so his practice participation over the next two days will shed light on whether he can play against the Ravens on Thursday. Ollie Gordon would be in line for more work as a returner on kickoffs alongside Malik Washington if Eskridge is not cleared to play against Baltimore.

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 (undisclosed) was held out of practice Monday, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

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.

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.

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.
