Dee Eskridge: Everything you need to know

Eskridge (toe) worked out with the Texans on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. The 29-year-old wideout from Western Michigan missed the Dolphins' final two regular-season games last season due to a toe injury. However, his workout with the Texans on Wednesday suggests he's moved past the issue. Eskridge had the most productive season of his career in 2025, accumulating 726 kick-return yards across just 13 contests. If signed by Houston, he could compete for a similar special-teams role.

The Dolphins placed Eskridge (toe) on the injured reserve list Saturday. The Western Michigan product sustained a toe injury in the Week 16 loss to the Bengals and will now be sidelined for the remainder of the season. Eskridge appeared in 13 games this year, catching four of seven targets for 62 yards while recording a career-high 726 kick-return yards. Expect Malik Washington to operate as the Dolphins' top return man while Eskridge misses the remainder of 2025.

Eskridge (toe) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Eskridge did not practice in any capacity in preparation for Sunday's home contest against Tampa Bay. The kick returner and depth wideout is trending in the wrong direction for Week 17, and if Eskridge is ultimately made inactive Sunday, Cedrick Wilson and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine will both be candidates to handle expanded roles on offense.
