The Miami Dolphins had an open roster spot heading into their Week 7 matchup Philadelphia Eagles and some decisions to make in regards to elevations.
On Saturday the team announced two transactions – the activation of running back Jeff Wilson Jr. from injured reserve and the elevation of tight end Tanner Conner from the practice squad.
Wilson had suffered rib and finger injuries in training camp resulting in his placement on injured reserve. He’ll now join Raheem Mostert and Salvon Ahmed as the backs on the 53-man roster.
He’s the second player to return from injured reserve for the Dolphins this season. Only eight can do so in a single year.
This is Conner’s second elevation in as many weeks. He didn’t make a huge impact against the Carolina Panthers in Week 6, but that could change against the Eagles. He only has one remaining elevation after this game.
