Dolphins re-sign OL Isaiah Wynn

Miami brings back a starting offensive lineman from 2023.

The Miami Dolphins entered the offseason with holes at all three of the starting interior offensive line spots with Isaiah Wynn, Connor Williams and Robert Hunt all hitting the market.

Now, it looks like one of them is returning, as ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Wynn is signing back with the Dolphins for the 2024 season.

Wynn, 28, was originally drafted by the New England Patriots in the first round of the 2018 NFL draft out of Georgia. After dealing with a number of injuries during his with New England, he signed a one-year deal with Miami last offseason.

With the Dolphins, Wynn appeared in just seven games due to a quad injury that landed him on injured reserve.

At this point, Wynn seems like the leader to be the team’s starting left guard, but if Miami is smart, they’ll sign some quality depth in case Wynn gets hurt again.

6 Offensive linemen the Vikings could pursue in free agency

The Minnesota Vikings need to fortify their offensive line. These six players could be targets for them when free agency begins.

Offensive line is a position group that has haunted the Minnesota Vikings for some time. What has plagued them has been a series of poor draft picks, rough free agent signings and bad development.

Over the last few years, the Vikings have started to find hits, especially at tackle. Christian Darrisaw and Brian O’Neill are two of the best tackles in the National Football League. On the interior, Ed Ingram is slowly developing and Garrett Bradbury is fine but replaceable.

With the current state of the offensive line, left guard is currently open as are the backup offensive line spots. Who could the Vikings choose to bring in to help fortify the offensive line? One seems like a near certainty at left guard so we focused on rotational guys behind the starters.

Grading the Dolphins offensive linemen after their 2023 season

A look at Miami’s offensive linemen, and the year they had in 2023.

The Miami Dolphins finished their 2023 campaign with an 11-6 record and made the postseason for the second time in as many years under head coach Mike McDaniel. Unfortunately, it came to an end with a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the wild-card round.

While other teams are in the midst of their playoff run, it’s time to do some reflecting on the team in South Florida.

Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll be reviewing and evaluating different positions for the Dolphins in 2023. Today, we’ll look at the offensive linemen.

Ranking the 10 most important Dolphins free agents they should re-sign

10 pending free agents the Dolphins should consider bringing back.

The Miami Dolphins have 29 players on their current roster who are going to be free agents in 2024. Many of the pending free agents played major roles in the regular season and wild-card game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

With the season ending in major disappointment, general manager Chris Grier and head coach Mike McDaniel must look ahead to what the near future holds for the aqua and orange. The team has already been in the news with the departure of defensive coordinator Vic Fangio.

The new NFL calendar begins with free agency opening on March 13. This is a free agency that will contain massive decisions for the Dolphins on offense, defense and special teams.

Here are the top 10 most important pending free agents that the Dolphins should consider re-signing.

Mike McDaniel has injury updates on injured Dolphins at bye week

Updates on a ton of injured Dolphins heading into the week off.

The Miami Dolphins have had issues with keeping their players on the field throughout their 2023 campaign.

Luckily, Week 10 brings Mike McDaniel’s team some time off, so some of those players who are dealing with bumps and bruises can rehab, relax and recover before the home stretch of the season.

McDaniel spoke to the media on both Monday and Tuesday this week and provided updates on a number of his players before the team adjourns for the week.

Dolphins activate CB Nik Needham, place OL Isaiah Wynn on IR

Miami loses an OL, but they get back a CB.

The Miami Dolphins have had a bunch of moving parts all season, as they’ve been dealing with injuries nearly every week.

On Tuesday, the Dolphins placed left guard Isaiah Wynn on injured reserve.

Wynn, 27, had been playing really well in his first year in Miami before suffering a quad injury early in their loss to the Philadelphia Eagles during Sunday Night Football.

Lester Cotton stepped up in Wynn’s place on Sunday, but it will be interesting to see if Robert Jones makes a push to be the starter for the next four games.

To fill Wynn’s spot on the roster, the Dolphins activated cornerback Nik Needham, who had been on the PUP list since training camp, as he recovered from the torn Achilles he suffered last season.

Needham’s 21-day practice window was set to expire on Wednesday, and if Miami hadn’t activated him, he would’ve been forced to miss the remainder of the season.

There’s no clarity on whether or not Needham will see the field this weekend against the New England Patriots, but it would be nice to see him get into action again after he was playing well before his injury in 2021 and early in 2022.

Mike McDaniel updates on injured Dolphins following Eagles game

Miami’s HC had some health updates after four player went down on SNF.

The Miami Dolphins have been far from the luckiest team in the league when it comes to injuries this year, and that didn’t stop during their Sunday night loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, left guard Isaiah Wynn, safety Jevon Holland and linebacker David Long all missed snaps throughout the contest with different ailments.

On Monday, Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel met with the media and provided updates on their individual statuses following the game.

Dolphins LG Isaiah Wynn leaves game vs. Eagles with injury

Miami loses another offensive lineman.

The Miami Dolphins entered their Sunday night battle with the Philadelphia Eagles already down two starting offensive linemen, as left tackle Terron Armstead is on injured reserve and center Connor Williams has been dealing with a groin injury.

In the first quarter, they suffered another loss, as left guard Isaiah Wynn went down on a third-down play that resulted in an incomplete pass. Wynn was slow to get off of the field, and he was then brought into the blue medical tent on the sidelines.

It’s unclear exactly how long Wynn will be out, and if he misses time, who will take his place.

UPDATE: Miami has announced that Wynn is questionable to return with a quad injury. Lester Cotton has come in at left guard in the meantime.

Dolphins LG Isaiah Wynn leaves with injury vs. Giants

Miami loses another starting offensive lineman.

In the fourth quarter of the Miami Dolphins’ Week 5 matchup with the New York Giants at Hard Rock Stadium, the team had a 31-13 lead.

While things were going rather well, left guard Isaiah Wynn went down with a neck injury that caused him to be taken to the blue medical tent.

The former Patriot was replaced by Liam Eichenberg, who started at center last week.

The team announced that Wynn’s return is questionable.

UPDATE: Wynn retuned later in the game.

Here’s a list of every Patriots player to wear the No. 76 jersey number.

Former New England Patriots’ offensive and defensive linemen remain the focal points as we’ve now reached the 76th day in this countdown series for the Patriots’ regular season opener.

Today, this countdown features every Patriots player to wear the No. 76 jersey throughout the franchise’s history.

The most recent player to wear the number was former first-round draft pick and Super Bowl champion Isaiah Wynn. Things fizzled out in New England for the former Georgia standout offensive tackle, and he ended signing a one-year deal with the Miami Dolphins in free agency.

However, Wynn isn’t the only former Super Bowl champion on this list. Here’s every Patriots player that wore the No. 76 jersey:
