Dolphins' Jordan Poyer: Finishes 2024 with 98 tackles
Rotowire
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 in Week 5 against the Titans, but when 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 making many impact plays, as he finished the year without any INTs or sacks. The veteran safety will become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Dolphins' Jordan Poyer: Doesn't practice Wednesday
Rotowire
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.

Dolphins' Jordan Poyer: Iffy for Week 17
Rotowire
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.

Rotowire
Poyer (shin) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Colts, Chris Perkins of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Poyer upgraded to a full practice Friday after opening the Dolphins' week of practice with consecutive limited sessions, suggesting he's moved past his shin issue in time for Sunday's contest.

Dolphins' Jordan Poyer: Looking unlikely for Week 5
Rotowire
Coach Mike McDaniel said Friday that Poyer (shin) will not practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
McDaniel doesn't seem optimistic about Poyer's chances of suiting up for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Patriots, which is unsurprising given that the starting safety has missed three consecutive practices since being forced out of Monday's loss to the Titans. Marcus Maye will likely start at strong safety if Poyer's shin injury indeed rules him out for Sunday's divisional clash.

Dolphins' Jordan Poyer: Racks up nine tackles in loss
Rotowire
Poyer notched nine tackles (five solo) during Miami's 24-3 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.
Poyer played 100 percent of defensive snaps during the Dolphins' loss to Seattle. While he hasn't yet picked up a pass breakup or interception through three contest, Poyer's every-down role makes him a viable option in most IDP formats. He'll have an opportunity to make more plays Monday versus the Titans and a mistake-prone Will Levis.

Rotowire
Poyer recorded six tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 20-17 win versus the Jaguars.

Bills' Jordan Poyer: Posts fourth 100-tackle season
Rotowire
Poyer finished the 2023 regular season with 101 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, four passes defensed and one forced fumble over 16 games.
Poyer did fail to come up with an interception for the first time in his seven seasons as a Bill, though he made up for it in other categories, finishing in the top 25 among safeties in most IDP formats. He continues to see the field on a full-time basis even into his 30s, and the Bills get him for at least one more season under the back half of his two-year deal. Worth noting is that long-time safety partner Micah Hyde is mulling retirement -- the two have been a fantastic duo for several seasons.
