Former Seattle Seahawks wide receiver/return man Dee Eskridge has found a new home. When Eskridge was released on Tuesday, it was predicted he wouldn’t have to wait too long to land on his feet elsewhere in the NFL. This has turned out to be the case, as Eskridge has joined the Miami Dolphins as a member of their practice squad.
This was first reported by NFL insider Jordan Shultz.

Eskridge’s talent has never been in question. His speed is dynamic, making him a potential threat any time he touches the ball. The problem has always been his inability to stay on the field. Injuries (and a six game suspension) have dominated the narrative for his time in Seattle.
Now, Eskridge gets a fresh start. The Dolphins offense is hardly lacking speed, as they are defined by wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. If they are able to incorporate Eskridge into this offense at some point, should he remain healthy, then Miami just became considerably more difficult to defend against.
Such an opportunity could be in Week 3, when the Dolphins travel to Seattle to face the Seahawks for the first time since the 2020 season. If Eskridge has made the active roster by then, Mike Macdonald’s defense will have quite a tall order ahead of them.
