Ezukanma (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's contest against Cleveland. Ezukanma was signed to the Dolphins' active roster Saturday, but he won't be active in Week 17 despite the fact that Jaylen Waddle (knee) is being held out. That's likely due to two other Miami receivers who were questionable coming into Sunday -- Tyreek Hill (wrist) and Dee Eskridge (knee) -- both being able to suit up. Ezukanma hasn't secured a catch over 17 offensive snaps this season.

Ezukanma (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's contest against Cleveland. Ezukanma was signed to the Dolphins' active roster Saturday, but he won't be active in Week 17 despite the fact that Jaylen Waddle (knee) is being held out. That's likely due to two other Miami receivers who were questionable coming into Sunday -- Tyreek Hill (wrist) and Dee Eskridge (knee) -- both being able to suit up. Ezukanma hasn't secured a catch over 17 offensive snaps this season.
The Dolphins signed Ezukanma to the active roster Saturday. This marks the second game in a row Ezukanma has been elevated to the 53-man roster and third time this season. He saw the field for seven offensive snaps in Week 16, but the pass catcher failed to draw any targets. He will be available to provide depth at wide receiver in Cleveland.
Ezukanma reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log. Ezukanma was elevated to the active roster prior to Sunday's win over the 49ers, failing to record any stats while playing seven snaps on offense. If Jaylen Waddle (knee) is unavailable again in Week 17 versus the Browns, Ezukanma will likely be added to the active roster again.
Ezukanma was elevated from Miami's practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers. Ezukanma will provide wide receiver depth, as the Dolphins are expected to be depleted at the position since Jaylen Waddle (knee) and Dee Eskridge (knee) are both doubtful, while Tyreek Hill (wrist) is questionable. Ezukanma has appeared in four games for the Dolphins since the start of the 2022 season, including one in 2024.
Ezukanma reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. The wide receiver played on 11 of 61 offensive snaps and did not catch either of his two targets from quarterback Tim Boyle late in the fourth quarter. The 2022 fourth-round pick has now appeared in four regular-season games for the Dolphins during his career.
The Dolphins elevated Ezukanma from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday. Ezukanma had been dealing with a foot injury this week, but it doesn't appear to be a concern and he'll be available to suit up for the Dolphins' Week 3 game against the Seahawks on Sunday. Ezukanma has appeared in three regular-season games for the Dolphins since being drafted in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft.
Ezukanma (foot) is dealing with a foot injury, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports. Ezukanma is currently on the Dolphins' practice squad, and it's not clear when he suffered the injury or if he is still tending to the same foot injury he had during training camp. Miami currently only has four healthy wideouts on its roster and cut Robbie Chosen from the practice squad Tuesday, which could mean that Ezukanma, if healthy, could find his way to the 53-man roster soon.
Ezukanma signed with the Dolphins' practice squad Wednesday. Ezukanma dealt with foot and neck injuries during the summer, which ultimately led to him not making Miami's initial 53-man roster Tuesday. However, he'll remain with the Dolphins after signing with their practice squad Wednesday. The Texas Tech product appeared in two games for the Dolphins in 2023, failing to haul in his lone target while rushing five times for 22 yards.
The Dolphins waived Ezukanma on Tuesday. Ezukanma missed the first half of training camp due to a lingering neck injury from 2023, and he missed the Dolphins' final preseason game against the Buccaneers on Friday due to a foot injury. In his lone preseason outing, he posted five catches on seven targets for 65 yards against the Commanders on Aug. 17. Since being selected by Miami in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, Ezukanma has played in just three regular-season games due to multiple injuries. Given his draft selection, he should receive interest from teams in need of wide receiver depth either on the roster or practice squad.
