The Miami Dolphins elevated wide receivers Erik Ezukanma and Dee Eskridge from the practice squad for a Week 3 game against the Seattle Seahawks, the team announced Saturday.
Ezukanma, a fourth-round pick in 2022, has played just three games in his career and has recorded only one reception. He was a healthy scratch for most of his rookie year and missed almost all of his second season due to a neck injury.
While he impressed in preseason with a couple big plays in a game against the Commanders, he missed the other two games as he dealt with a foot injury in August. Ezukanma was eventually waived and brought back as a member of the practice squad.
Eskridge, 27, spent the first three seasons of his NFL career with the Seahawks and joined the Dolphins after he was waived by Seattle at the end of training camp. He has 17 career receptions for 122 yards with a touchdown, and also contributed as a kick return.
The move to make the pair of receivers available for Sunday isn’t a surprise with rookie Malik Washington doubtful to play and Grant DuBose sent to injured reserve. The Dolphins previously elevated Robbie Chosen in Weeks 1 and 2, but released the veteran receiver earlier this week.
