Miami Dolphins elevate wide receiver Dee Eskridge for Monday Night Football

The Dolphins chose to elevate just one receiver after also activating Erik Ezukanma for last Sunday’s game in Seattle.

The Miami Dolphins have elevated wide receiver Dee Eskridge to the active roster for Monday night’s game against the Tennessee Titans. Eskridge was activated for last week’s game against the Seattle Seahawks, where he caught a 30-yard pass — Miami’s longest play of the game.

Eskridge has appeared in 25 games, recording 18 receptions for 152 yards and one touchdown. A 2021 second-round pick of the Seahawks, he signed with Miami’s practice squad on Aug. 29.

The Dolphins activated both Eskridge and Erik Ezukanma last week, but the decision to activate only Eskridge could suggest that Malik Washington is ready to make his NFL debut after recovering from a quadricep injury.

Quarterback Tyler Huntley will make his first start for the Dolphins after Skylar Thompson and Tim Boyle combined for just 140 passing yards in a 24-3 loss to the Seahawks. Eskridge rounds out a receiving corps featuring Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Braxton Berrios, and potentially Washington in a passing attack that ranks No. 9 with an average of 223 yards per game over the last three weeks.
