Smith (shoulder) who ended the 2024 campaign on IR, tallied just 16 tackles (13 solo) across six regular-season appearances. Smith began the year on IR due to a hamstring injury sustained back in July, then had his season come to an early end due to a dislocated left shoulder. The 2023 second-round pick will work to get fully healthy and progress in his development this offseason, but it's difficult to imagine him carving out more than a rotational role at cornerback for the 2025 campaign.

Smith (shoulder) who ended the 2024 campaign on IR, tallied just 16 tackles (13 solo) across six regular-season appearances. Smith began the year on IR due to a hamstring injury sustained back in July, then had his season come to an early end due to a dislocated left shoulder. The 2023 second-round pick will work to get fully healthy and progress in his development this offseason, but it's difficult to imagine him carving out more than a rotational role at cornerback for the 2025 campaign.
Miami placed Smith (shoulder) on its injured reserve list Wednesday. Smith suffered a dislocated left shoulder in Week 13 at Green Bay, and now he'll have to sit out for at least the next four games as he recovers. His absence figures to open up more opportunities for veteran Siran Neal on the boundaries.
Smith suffered a left dislocated shoulder in Thursday's 30-17 loss to the Packers, head coach Mike McDaniel confirmed to Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com. There's no timetable for Smith's return, though McDaniel confirmed the cornerback was in significant pain following Thursday's loss. Smith's next chance to play will come against the Jets on Sunday, Dec. 8, though it's uncertain if he'll recover in time for that matchup. If he's unable to go, then Storm Duck and Siran Neal could be options to take his place in the defensive scheme, though Kendall Fuller (concussion) could also be an option if he recovers in time to face New York.
Smith (shoulder) has been downgraded to out and won't return to Thursday's game against the Packers. Smith departed the contest in the second quarter and won't return, meaning the Dolphins' depth in the secondary will be tested throughout the rest of the game. Smith's next chance to play will come against the Jets on Sunday, Dec. 8, though it's uncertain if he'll recover in time for that matchup.
Smith is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Packers due to a shoulder injury. Smith headed to the locker room late in the second quarter, and losing him would make an awful half for the Dolphins even worse. If Smith is unable to return, and with Kader Kohou (back) questionable as well, the Dolphins' depth at cornerback could be seriously tested in the second half.
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.
