The Dolphins re-signed Eskridge (finger) on Wednesday.
Eskridge dealt with injuries in 2024, but he showed enough across his six regular-season appearances with Miami to convince the team to re-sign him. The gadget player and return man missed the Dolphins' regular-season finale against the Jets in Week 18 due to a finger issue, but he projects to be at 100 percent health for the start of offseason activities.

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.

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.

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.

Eskridge missed the Seahawks' preseason game versus the Titans on Saturday due to an undisclosed injury but is now healthy again.

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 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.

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.
