Dolphins | Austin Jackson had second procedure Wed May 27, 09:25 PM
Miami Dolphins OT Austin Jackson (foot) had an additional surgery on his foot during the offseason, according to head coach Jeff Hafley.
Link to storyMiami Dolphins QB Quinn Ewers was the 'best quarterback' during OTAs Wednesday, May 27, according to Omar Kelly of The Miami Herald.
Link to storyMiami Dolphins WR Chris Bell (knee) will be able to do some running during offseason workouts but there is no timetable for his return to the lineup, according to head coach Jeff Hafley.
| Footballguys view: As Footballguy Sigmund Bloom noted, Bell fell a little farther than some expected, but he landed in the perfect spot. The Dolphins are in rebuilding mode and won't rush him back from his 2025 ACL tear. When Bell is ready to play, his strengths as a runaway train on crossing patterns and a big ball winner on the outside fit with Malik Willis's strengths. Once he's ready, Bell will compete with Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert, and Tutu Atwell, along with rookies Caleb Douglas and Kevin Coleman, for playing time. Bell is an eventual WR1 candidate for Miami. |
Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (shoulder) is doing rehab work with trainers at organized team activities. Achane had cleanup surgery on his shoulder after the season and should be ready for training camp.
| Footballguys view: Achane missed the final game of the 2025 season because of the injury, and head coach Jeff Hafley said the team will be cautious as they head toward training camp. "You'll see him out there doing some drills and doing some running around," Hafley said. "You will not see him in full team drills." As Profootballtalk.com's Josh Alper noted, the Dolphins signed Achane to a four-year, $64 million contract extension this month. It's unlikely they would have made that commitment if they weren't confident in his long-term health, so Achane should be moving full speed ahead soon enough. |
Miami Dolphins QB Malik Willis has been told to focus on learning the offensive system and can work on becoming a team leader later, according to head coach Jeff Hafley.
| Footballguys view: The Dolphins GM has said that they gave Willis a three-year deal because they want to build a team around him. This is consistent with that approach- namely a long term commitment to Willis, as opposed to a one-year "prove it" evaluation timeframe. Willis has more value in superflex dynasty leagues than the fantasy community is assigning to him. |
Miami Dolphins OG Jonah Savaiinaea will play right guard in 2026, after spending much of his rookie season at left guard, according to new offensive line coach Zach Yenser. Savaiinaea spent the bulk of his playing time at the University of Arizona lining up at right guard, right tackle and left tackle. He will compete against OGs Jamaree Salyer and DJ Campbell for the starting job.
| Footballguys view: Savaiinaea was one of the worst offensive linemen in the league last year by some measures. If they can get improvement at his spot, either from him or someone who beats him out, along with an instant impact from #12 pick Kaydn Proctor, the Dolphins run first offense could have more success than most envision - which isn't much. |
Free-agent RB Carlos Washington Jr. (Falcons) signed with the Miami Dolphins Thursday, May 21. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. The team also waived TE Jalin Conyers.
| Footballguys view: Washington spent the last three years on the Falcons practice squad. He's a versatile back who has a chance to make the Dolphins as their fourth running back behind De'Von Achane, Jaylen Wright, and Ollie Gordon II after priority UDFA signing Le'Veon Moss retired shortly following Miami signing him when he went undrafted this year. |
Free-agent WR Noah Short (Buccaneers) is working out for the Miami Dolphins Wednesday, May 20, according to a source.

Link to storyMiami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane reported to organized team activities Tuesday, May 19.
| Footballguys view: The Dolphins' new brass made a statement by rewarding Achane with a four-year, $64 million contract extension last week. Achane, who led the league with 5.7 yards per carry in 2025, has been around the building throughout the offseason, head coach Jeff Hafley said. "It's not like he just showed up after he signed his contract," Hafley said. "He's a great player, and I'm really glad we have him." Achane finished 2025 with 1,350 rushing yards with eight touchdowns, plus 67 receptions for 488 yards with four TDs. Expect to pay a first-round price to secure his services. |
Former Green Bay Packers DE James Ester was claimed off waivers by the Miami Dolphins Thursday, May 14.
Link to storyThe Dolphins and Pro Bowl RB De'Von Achane have agreed to a four-year extension worth $68 million, making him the NFL's third-highest-paid running back at $17 million per year with $32 million guaranteed, multiple sources told NFL insider Jordan Schultz.
| Footballguys view: GM Jon-Eric Sullivan and coach Jeff Hafley have insisted that Achane is a building block for the future. This investment proves it. Expect the team to continue relying on Achane to handle the same high-volume role the previous regime did. The 2023 third-round pick has scored either 11 or 12 touchdowns in each of his three seasons. He posted a career-high 1,838 scrimmage yards in 2025. Achane has also finished in the top five among backs in targets and receiving yards in each of the past two years, and his Footballguys RB6 projection reflects all of that. |
Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane reportedly agreed to terms on a four-year contract extension worth $68 million - including $32 million guaranteed - to remain with the team on Wednesday, May 13.
Link to storyMiami Dolphins RB Le'Veon Moss was placed on the reserve/retired list on Tuesday, May 12.
Link to storyUndrafted free-agent FB DJ Herman (San Diego State) signed with the Miami Dolphins Monday, May 11. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Link to storyUpdating previous reports, undrafted free-agent QB Mark Gronowski (Iowa), RB Anthony Hankerson (Oregon State), WR Donaven McCulley (Michigan) and RB Le'Veon Moss (Texas A&M) officially signed with the Miami Dolphins Friday, May 8. Terms of the contracts were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Moss is a power back and the only true pile pusher on the Dolphins roster. We'll see if he can overtake 2025 sixth round pick Ollie Gordon, who didn't make much of an impact when he got on the field as a rookie. |
Miami Dolphins CB Isaiah Johnson, TE Zack Kuntz, CB Jason Maitre, DE Derrick McLendon, LB K.C. Ossai and P Seth Vernon were waived Monday, May 4. The Dolphins also released LS Taybor Pepper.

Miami Dolphins WR Chris Bell (knee) is a candidate to start the 2026 season on either the Reserve/Injured list or the Physically Unable to Perform list, in the opinion of DolphinsWire's Jason Sarney.
| Footballguys view: Bell tore his ACL in late November last year. Before the injury, he was projected by some to be a first-round pick. Because of his injury, 17 receivers were taken ahead of him. As SBNation reported, Bell plans to use that as motivation. "[The injury] had me frustrated [during the draft], just knowing that I was better than some of the guys that went off the board [ahead of me]," he said. Bell is just four and a half months out of surgery right now. It might not be this year, but he could have a high ceiling once healthy. |
Free-agent WR Jauan Jennings (49ers) has been receiving interest from the Miami Dolphins this offseason, but the Dolphins to not have the salary cap space to sign him at this point, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: The Dolphins, who traded Jaylen Waddle and released Tyreek Hill and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, have been adding wideouts on the cheap since. They signed Jalen Tolbert and Tutu Atwell in the first wave of free agency, then selected three -- Caleb Douglas, Chris Bell, and Kevin Coleman Jr. -- in last week's NFL Draft. While it's a reach financially, if he lands in Miami, Jennings, who caught a career-high nine touchdowns with the Niners last season, would likely be the team's top wideout. |
