Dolphins' Tanner Conner: Healthy scratch for Week 8
Rotowire
Conner (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Arizona.
Conner has played in each of the first six games of the regular season, accumulating three catches (on four targets) for 16 yards over that span. However, he will observe Sunday's game on the sidelines as the Dolphins go with Jonnu Smith, Julian Hill and Durham Smythe as the three active tight ends.

Tanner Conner: Reverts to practice squad
Rotowire
Conner reverted to Miami's practice squad Monday.
Tanner was elevated for the third time this season and played on both offense and special teams but didn't record any stats during Miami's win over the Commanders on Sunday. The Dolphins will need to sign the 25-year-old to the active roster in order for him to play again, as he's now been elevated the maximum amount of times.

Dolphins' Tanner Conner: Bumps back up to active roster
Rotowire
Miami elevated Conner from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against Washington.
Conner will be promoted to the Dolphins' gameday roster for the third time this season, as he suited up for back-to-back games against Carolina and Philadelphia back in October. The 25-year-old ultimately did not record an offensive statistic while primarily playing on special teams across these two contests. If he's ruled active pregame, Conner should serve a similar role behind fellow tight ends Durham Smythe, Julian Hill and Tyler Kroft in Week 13.

Tanner Conner: Headed to practice squad
Rotowire
The Dolphins signed Conner to the practice squad Wednesday.
Conner is entering his second year as a pro after also spending his rookie campaign with the Dolphins. The vast majority of his work in 2022 came on special teams, and that's unlikely to change if he cracks the roster at some point in 2023.

Tanner Conner: Cut by Miami
Rotowire
The Dolphins waived Conner on Tuesday.
Conner opened training camp on Miami's PUP list with an undisclosed issue, but he was activated last Tuesday and will hit waivers without any injury designation. The 24-year-old tight end played almost exclusively on special teams over 13 appearances with the Dolphins during his 2022 rookie campaign. Should he go unclaimed, Conner will likely seek to join a team's practice squad prior to the regular season.
