Poyer racked up 98 tackles (51 solo) and three pass breakups across 16 regular-season appearances with the Dolphins in 2024. Poyer missed one game due to injury, Week 5 against the Titans, but while healthy the 33-year-old safety was essentially an every-down player for the Dolphins. He operated as one of the more reliable aspects of Miami's secondary in 2024, despite not displaying much left in the tank as a true playmaker, and concluding the year without any INTs or sacks. The veteran safety will become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Poyer (knee/finger) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Jets, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Poyer missed practice Wednesday and Thursday but got in a limited sessions Friday and will play Sunday, as Miami fights for the No, 7 seed in the AFC playoffs. Through 15 games, all starts, this season, Poyer has logged 90 tackles (47 solo) and three pass breakups on the back end of the Dolphins' defense.
Poyer (knee/finger) was held out of practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Poyer also missed the Dolphins' first practice last week with the knee and finger issues, but he was ultimately able to suit up for Sunday's win over Cleveland. Miami must win its Week 18 game against the Jets in order to have any chance of making the playoffs, so Poyer is likely to do everything he can to be on the field. If he can't suit up, though, Elijah Campbell would likely start in his stead.
Poyer registered six tackles (four solo) and one pass defense during the Dolphins' 20-3 win over the Browns on Sunday. Poyer and Storm Duck finished Sunday's game as the Dolphins' third-leading tacklers behind Tyrel Dodson (15) and Jordyn Brooks (nine). Poyer has recorded at least six combined tackles in 12 of 15 games, and on the year he's totaled 90 tackles (47 solo) and three pass defenses. He'll look to reach the century mark in tackling for the second straight year (and fifth time in his NFL career) during the Dolphins' regular-season finale against the Jets next Sunday.
Poyer (knee/finger) is active for Sunday's game against the Browns. The starting safety appeared on the injury report early in the week and missed two practices, but he did return for the last session of the week as a limited participant. Poyer has missed one defensive snap over the last 10 games since sitting out of Miami's Week 5 contest against New England with a shin injury. The veteran has 84 tackles (43 solo) and two pass breakups on the year.
Poyer (knee/finger) is questionable for Sunday's battle against the Browns. Poyer popped up on the Dolphins' injury report early this week and logged a DNP/DNP/LP practice progression. The veteran safety was sidelined for Miami's Week 5 game against New England due to a shin injury but has missed only one defensive snap over 10 contests since. If Poyer ends up being unable to play Sunday, Elijah Campbell could be asked to handle a significant role in the secondary.
Poyer finished Sunday's 29-17 win over San Francisco with seven tackles (three solo). Poyer co-led the Dolphins in tackling Sunday with Jordyn Brooks. Poyer has registered at least seven combined tackles in six of the Dolphins' last seven games. He has played every single defensive snap in 11 of 14 regular-season games has accumulated 84 tackles (43 solo) and two pass defenses. Poyer will look to reach the tackling century mark for the second straight year (and the fifth time in his NFL career), starting with Miami's Week 17 bout against Cleveland on Sunday, December 29.
Poyer made seven tackles (four solo) during Miami's 32-26 win over New York in Week 15. Poyer has now logged seven or more stops in all but one of his eight appearances since the Dolphins' bye in Week 6, and he's played 100 percent of defensive snaps in each of those contests. While he hasn't yet demonstrated significant fantasy upside this season, Poyer possess a reliable floor for production heading into Sunday's road matchup against the Texans.
Poyer posted nine tackles (five solo) in Thursday's Thanksgiving Day loss to the Packers. Poyer tied for second on Miami with his nine stops in the defeat. The tackle total tied his season-high mark, which he previously established Week 3 versus Seattle. In his first season with the Dolphins, Poyer has totaled 69 tackles and two pass defenses over 11 contests.
