Eskridge signed with Miami's active roster off the practice squad Friday.
Eskridge previously was elevated from the practice squad Weeks 3 and 4, but he now has a permanent spot on the 53-man roster. He'll provide depth in a banged-up Dolphins wide receiver room that also includes Tyreek Hill (foot), Jaylen Waddle (quadriceps), Odell Beckham and Malik Washington.

Dolphins' Dee Eskridge: Joins active roster
Rotowire
The Dolphins elevated Eskridge to their active roster ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Titans.
The 2021 second-round pick's elevation provides depth in Miami's wide-receiver room, as only Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Braxton Berrios were without injury designations. Expect Eskridge to serve as a depth piece in the Dolphins' WR corps while also potentially providing some value on special teams.

Dee Eskridge: Returning to practice squad
Rotowire
Eskridge reverted to Miami's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Eskridge logged seven offensive snaps during Sunday's 24-3 loss at Seattle, catching his only target for 30 yards. He also returned a kick for 28 yards. With the Dolphins dealing with a bevy of injuries in their wide-receiver room, it wouldn't be surprising to see him get the nod again in Week 4.

Dolphins' Dee Eskridge: Elevated from practice squad
Rotowire
The Dolphins elevated Eskridge from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Eskridge and fellow practice squad wideout Erik Ezukanma will both be elevated due to Grant DuBose (shoulder) being placed on IR and rookie sixth-round pick Malik Washington (shoulder) being listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Seattle. Eskridge has a chance to suit up against the Seahawks, who selected him in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft.

Dee Eskridge: Dumped by Seattle
Rotowire
The Seahawks waived Eskridge on Tuesday, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.
The Seahawks used the No. 56 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft on Eskridge, but he was never able to stay healthy and failed to force his way onto the field when he was available. Eskridge wraps up his Seattle career with 17 catches for 122 yards and one touchdown on 34 targets across 24 regular-season games. The 27-year-old also has an ability to return kicks and will look for a fresh start elsewhere.

Rotowire
Eskridge (undisclosed) returned to practice Monday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Eskridge missed the Seahawks' preseason game versus the Titans on Saturday due to an undisclosed injury but is now healthy again. The 2021 second-round pick will now spend the next several weeks competing for a spot on the final roster, where he can add value both as a returner and as a depth receiver.

Seahawks' Dee Eskridge: Sits out preseason game
Rotowire
Eskridge missed Saturday's 16-15 preseason loss to the Titans with an undisclosed injury, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Eskridge's roster spot was always in jeopardy, and missing the week of practice and the second preseason game won't help his case. Particularly, Laviska Shenault has filled Eskridge's role admirably, working as a returner and a gadget player. Eskridge will need to get healthy quickly and perform well in the final preseason game versus the Browns in order to make the final roster.

Seahawks' Dee Eskridge: Taking part in OTAs
Rotowire
Eskridge (ribs) has been an active participant at the Seahawks' OTAs, Tim Weaver of Seahawks Wire reports.
Eskridge ended the 2023 campaign on injured reserve with a rib injury, but he now appears to be fully healthy at OTAs. The 27-year-old re-signed with Seattle in March after failing to record a reception over 16 offensive snaps in four games last season. The wide receiver has operated primarily as a return-specialist over the last two years, a role that he'll likely remain in with the Seahawks in 2024.

Seahawks' Dee Eskridge: Rejoins Seattle
Rotowire
Eskridge (ribs) signed a one-year, $1.055 million contract with the Seahawks on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
The 2021 second-round pick has been a massive disappointment given the draft capital invested, but Eskridge has proven to be a decent returner, registering 370 kick return yards over the past two years. The third-year wide receiver has yet to play a full season and most recently missed time last campaign due to a ribs injury that kept him out the final six contests.

Seahawks' Dee Eskridge: Shifts to IR
Rotowire
The Seahawks placed Eskridge (ribs) on injured reserve Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Eskridge has been nursing a ribs injury for over a month now, and he most recently appeared in Seattle's Week 12 loss to the 49ers. The 26-year-old wideout has played in just four games this season, failing to catch his lone target and returning eight kickoffs for 66 yards. Zach Charbonnet is likely next in line to assume the Seahawks' kick return responsibilities going forward.

Seahawks' Dee Eskridge: Still not practicing
Rotowire
Eskridge (ribs) did not practice Thursday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Eskridge has missed Seattle's past three games due to an injury to his ribs, and he hasn't practiced in any capacity since the first day of Week 15 prep. He appears to be trending toward missing a fourth straight contest Sunday against Pittsburgh, though that outlook could change if he's able to return to practice Friday. DK Metcalf didn't practice Thursday due to a back injury, so Seattle's wide-receiver unit could potentially be shorthanded against the Steelers.

Seahawks' Dee Eskridge: Sits out walkthrough Wednesday
Rotowire
Eskridge (ribs) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Eskridge has missed Seattle's past three games due to an injury to his ribs, and he's not trending in a positive direction as Sunday's game in Tennessee approaches. Even if he's able to get in some on-field work Thursday and/or Friday and is cleared to play Sunday, Eskridge will have a muted role on offense as a depth receiver for Seattle.

Seahawks' Dee Eskridge: Deemed questionable for MNF
Rotowire
Eskridge (ribs) is questionable to suit up Monday against Philadelphia, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Eskridge logged a limited practice session Thursday but followed with a DNP both Friday and Saturday. However, he's still being given a chance to suit up on Monday Night Football. Eskridge hasn't caught a pass this season, but he's been working as Seattle's top kick returner. If he's unable to play Monday, that role could be assumed by Zach Charbonnet or DeeJay Dallas.

Seahawks' Dee Eskridge: Questionable for Week 14
Rotowire
Eskridge (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers after logging a limited practice session Friday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Eskridge sat out Thursday's practice with a rib injury and returned Friday in a limited capacity. The injury forced him to sit out the Seahawks' Week 13 loss to the Cowboys.

Seahawks' Dee Eskridge: Limited at practice Monday
Rotowire
Eskridge (ribs) was a limited participant at practice Monday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Eskridge has played a limited role on offense for the Seahawks this season, but he's emerged as the team's top kick returner since returning from a six-game suspension to begin the campaign. During the Week 12 loss to San Francisco on Thanksgiving, he tallied 140 yards on four returns (including a 66-yarder) and carried once for 10 yards. It's unclear if Eskridge is at risk of missing this Thursday's game in Dallas, but if he does sit out, DeeJay Dallas could take over kick-return duties.
