Dolphins' Alex Austin: Inks deal with Miami
Austin and the Dolphins agreed to terms on a one-year contract Wednesday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.
Austin mostly served on special teams for the Patriots during the 2025 regular season, finishing with 13 tackles (10 solo) and one pass defense across 12 games. He'll likely reprise that role in Miami while also providing depth in the secondary.

Patriots' Alex Austin: Not tendered by New England
Austin was informed Wednesday by the Patriots that they will not tender him a contract as a restricted free agent, so he will become an unrestricted free agent when the new league year begins March 11, Mark Daniels of Masslive.com reports.
Austin appeared in 12 regular-season games for the Patriots in 2025. The 2023 seventh-round draft pick of the Bills has registered 31 tackles (25 solo) and eight passes defensed in 29 NFL appearances split between Buffalo and New England. Austin is likely to land a depth cornerback role somewhere on the open market.

The Patriots activated Austin (wrist) off injured reserve Saturday.

Austin (wrist) was not activated from injured reserve Saturday and has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's wild-card game against the Chargers.

Patriots' Alex Austin: Slated to return to practice
Austin (wrist) is returning to practice Wednesday, per head coach Mike Vrabel, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Austin landed on injured reserve Nov. 25 due to a wrist injury. His return to practice Wednesday means he's eligible to be activated at any time, though it remains to be seen if New England will make that move ahead of Sunday's Week 18 game against the Dolphins. Prior to getting hurt, Austin had played in the Patriots' first 12 contests, logging 144 snaps on defense and 120 on special teams.

Patriots' Alex Austin: Receives tender
The Patriots placed an exclusive rights tender on Austin on Wednesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Austin missed eight games in 2024 due to an ankle injury. He returned to action Week 12, and over the final six games of the season, he accrued nine tackles (eight solo) and five pass breakups. Austin will likely sign the tender and return for the 2025 season, and he'll have a chance to vie for a starting job at cornerback opposite Christian Gonzalez (concussion).

Patriots' Alex Austin: Moves to IR
Austin (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
Austin had already been ruled out for the Patriots' Week 4 matchup against the 49ers due to an ankle issue before shifting to IR on Saturday. The second-year corner is now in line to miss at least New England's next four games, so Isaiah Bolden could see more snaps in the Patriots' secondary for the time being.
