The Eagles signed Ezukanma to the practice squad Wednesday.
Ezukanma originally signed with the Eagles on June 16, then was released in August. The wide receiver now returns to the franchise as depth after injuries to DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Hollywood Brown (ankle) weakened the Eagles' pass-catching options.

Rotowire
The Eagles signed Ezukanma to a contract Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Ezukanma, a 2022 fourth-round pick, spent the first three seasons of his career with the Dolphins before being cut by the team last August. He then spent part of the 2025 campaign on Jacksonville's practice squad. All five of his career regular-season appearances have come with Miami.

This marks the second game in a row Ezukanma has been elevated to the 53-man roster and third time this season. He saw the field for seven offensive snaps in Week 16, but the pass catcher failed to draw any targets. He will be available to provide depth at wide receiver in Cleveland.

Erik Ezukanma: Reverts to practice squad
Rotowire
Ezukanma reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Ezukanma was elevated to the active roster prior to Sunday's win over the 49ers, failing to record any stats while playing seven snaps on offense. If Jaylen Waddle (knee) is unavailable again in Week 17 versus the Browns, Ezukanma will likely be added to the active roster again.

Dolphins' Erik Ezukanma: Elevated against San Francisco
Rotowire
Ezukanma was elevated from Miami's practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Ezukanma will provide wide receiver depth, as the Dolphins are expected to be depleted at the position since Jaylen Waddle (knee) and Dee Eskridge (knee) are both doubtful, while Tyreek Hill (wrist) is questionable. Ezukanma has appeared in four games for the Dolphins since the start of the 2022 season, including one in 2024.

Dolphins' Erik Ezukanma: Elevated for Week 3
Rotowire
The Dolphins elevated Ezukanma from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Ezukanma had been dealing with a foot injury this week, but it doesn't appear to be a concern and he'll be available to suit up for the Dolphins' Week 3 game against the Seahawks on Sunday. Ezukanma has appeared in three regular-season games for the Dolphins since being drafted in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft.

Dolphins' Erik Ezukanma: Deemed week-to-week
Rotowire
Ezukanma (foot) is week-to-week according to Miami head coach Mike McDaniel, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Ezukanma didn't play in Friday's preseason finale against Tampa Bay and was wearing a walking boot before the contest. He has been on the roster bubble throughout training camp, so the issue could hurt his chance of making the squad. The 2022 fourth-round draft pick played sparingly in his first two NFL campaigns, totaling one catch (on two targets) for three yards along with five rushes for 22 yards over 38 offensive snaps across three games.

Ezukanma (neck) was placed on the eserve/non-football injury list Friday.
Ezukanma will miss a minimum of four games, starting with Sunday's tilt in Buffalo. The earliest potential return date for Ezukanma is Week 8 against the Patriots.

Dolphins' Erik Ezukanma: Still out for practice
Rotowire
Ezukanma (neck) did not participate at the Dolphins' practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Ezukanma missed the team's 70-20 Week 3 win over the Broncos with a neck injury and he has now opened the week on the sidelines at practice. The wide receiver will have two more chances to return to the field this week prior to Miami's divisional matchup with the Bills on Sunday.

Dolphins' Erik Ezukanma: Inactive Sunday
Rotowire
Ezukanma is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
With Jaylen Waddle (concussion) out Sunday, Tyreek Hill will lead the Dolphins' Week 3 WR corps, with Braxton Berrios and River Cracraft likely next in line for targets and Cedrick Wilson and Robbie Chosen also candidates to mix in.

Dolphins' Erik Ezukanma: Involved on ground again
Rotowire
Ezukanma had three carries for five yards during Sunday's 24-17 win over the Patriots.
Ezukanma handled two carries Week 1, so it appears that his involvement as a depth option in the rushing game isn't an apparition. Of course, Ezukanma's usage could dissipate if De'Von Achane's involvement rises as the season progresses. Nonetheless, in deep fantasy formats it will be worth keeping an eye on Ezukanma, just in case the Dolphins are indeed committed to keeping him involved.

Dolphins' Erik Ezukanma: Logs two carries Week 1
Rotowire
Ezukanma had two carries for 17 yards during Sunday's 36-34 win over the Chargers. He was not targeted.
Ezukanma was not involved in the receiving game despite Miami playing from behind for the entirety of Sunday's win, but he did look explosive on two carries. It's encouraging to see Ezukanma already log more offensive touches than he did as a rookie last year, but he remains clearly behind Braxton Berrios and River Cracraft on the wide receiver depth chart.

Dolphins' Erik Ezukanma: Solidified on 53-man roster
Rotowire
Ezukanma was included on Miami's initial 53-man roster Tuesday, while fellow wideouts Preston Williams and Lynn Bowden were both cut.
Ezukanma put together an impressive preseason with the Dolphins, one highlighted by a 114-yard receiving game against the Eagles in the second week. His inclusion on the roster thus comes as no big surprising, and with Williams and Bowden cut loose, Miami is currently only carrying five wideouts heading into Week 1. Trent Sherfield currently looks like Ezukanma's only competition for the No. 4 wideout gig behind Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle (lower body) and Cedrick Wilson.
