The Dolphins activated Smith (hamstring) off injured reserve Monday, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports. Smith has yet to play for the Dolphins this season after sustaining a hamstring injury in late July. However, Monday's activation to Miami's active roster suggests he's completely past the issue. Expect the 2023 second-round pick to serve as a rotational cornerback in the Dolphins' Week 8 matchup against the Cardinals.
The Dolphins designated Smith (hamstring) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports. Smith suffered a hamstring injury in July but managed to fully participate in practice Wednesday. Miami will now have 21 days to officially activate the 23-year-old, and he could then contribute on both defense and special teams.
Smith (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve by the Dolphins on Tuesday. Smith is dealing with a hamstring injury and he'll open the season on injured reserve as a result. The cornerback will be forced to miss at least four games while on IR and he'll be eligible to return to the field in Week 5 versus the Patriots on Oct. 6.
Smith (hamstring) is still considered week-to-week after suffering a hamstring injury earlier in training camp, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. Smith initially suffered the injury in late July with the expectation that he wouldn't be out too long, and at least back before training camp ended. With a week-to-week prognosis, and the Dolphins kicking off their 2024 campaign Sept. 8 against the Jaguars, the second-year pro may not return until official Week 1 prep begins.
Head coach Mike McDaniel said Tuesday that Smith (undisclosed) will not miss the entirety of training camp, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports. Smith left with a trainer during practice Sunday and was absent from Monday's and Tuesday's sessions, per Adam Stites of USAToday.com. The nature of Smith's injury is unknown, but McDaniel didn't seem too concerned that the 2023 second-round pick would miss out on all of training camp or the preseason. Smith appeared in 15 regular-season games in his rookie year, finishing with two tackles (one solo) while playing 20 snaps on defense and 210 snaps on special teams.
Smith has added 15 pounds during the offseason, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports. Smith put on weight to help him better endure a 17-game season, though he spent much of his rookie year on the sidelines with just 20 defensive snaps over 15 games. The South Carolina product was a second-round draft pick in 2023, so the lack of opportunities was somewhat surprising, but he could get a chance to see the field more often in Year 2 with Vic Fangio replaced by Anthony Weaver as Miami's defensive coordinator.
