Joins Dolphins' practice squad
Miami signed Hayes (foot) to its practice squad Wednesday. The Dolphins waived Hayes with a foot injury prior to their regular-season opener, but they're now bringing him back to Miami ahead of Week 10. However, barring injuries, it's not likely he'll see any game action any time soon.
Waived with injury settlement
The Dolphins waived Hayes (foot) from injured reserve Thursday with an injury settlement, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. The 2023 seventh-round pick was waived with an injury designation in late August, and after going unclaimed off waivers, he reverted to IR one day later. Hayes was set to miss the entire 2024 season, but the injury settlement allows him to sign with a team once he has fully recovered from his foot injury. Hayes spent all of 2023 on the Dolphins' practice squad.
Reverts to IR
Hayes reverted to injured reserve with the Dolphins on Wednesday, per the NFL's official transaction log. Hayes was waived with an injury designation Tuesday after suffering a foot injury in the preseason and he's now set to miss the entirety of the 2024 season while on IR. The offensive lineman will shift his focus to being ready for training camp in 2025.
Waived/injured
Hayes (foot) was waived with an injury designation by the Dolphins on Tuesday. Hayes was spotted in a walking boot following Miami's preseason finale versus the Buccaneers on Friday. If he clears waivers, he'll revert to the Dolphins' injured reserve for the 2024 season.
Spotted in walking boot
Hayes (foot) was seen wearing a walking boot following Miami's preseason loss to the Buccaneers on Friday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Hayes started at right tackle in the exhibition contest but limped toward the sideline after a play in the first half and subsequently went to the medical tent. He never returned to the contest, and the fact that he was in a boot postgame could mean that his injury is more than minor. Hayes has been competing for a depth role along the Dolphins' offensive line during training camp.
