The Commanders are signing Riley to a contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Riley suited up for all 17 regular-season games with Miami in 2024 but he only handled 42 defensive snaps in that span. He'll compete for a depth role on defense with Washington, but the bulk of his contributions will figure to come on special teams, if he manages to earn a spot on the 53-man roster.

Riley notched 11 tackles (five solo) across 17 regular-season appearances with the Dolphins in 2024. Riley missed only one regular-season contest across his four years with Miami, but his production declined in 2024, as he was called upon for just 42 total defensive snaps. The 2017 third-round pick's only year with a lower tackle total came back in 2019 as a member of the Falcons, when he suited up for just four games. Riley is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Riley (ankle) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game versus the Bills, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Despite being limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday, Riley was a full participant at practice Friday and is in line to play in Week 18. If Jerome Baker (knee) can't go Sunday, Riley could start at linebacker.

Riley recorded six total tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 56-19 loss to the Ravens. Riley has seen increased time on the Dolphins' defense with Jerome Baker (knee) on injured reserve and he made his fourth consecutive start in Week 17. The eighth-year pro has made 21 of his 39 total tackles on the year over the last four weeks, and he'll look to help Miami's defense stop the red-hot Bills in Week 18.
-
Riley (undisclosed) was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday. Riley was sidelined for Miami's win over the Saints, but he is expected to return Sunday against the Titans. Before his absence, he had totaled 10 tackles across 72 defensive snaps during his three previous contests. He's expected to have a similar workload in Week 17 as he operates as the primary backup to Elandon Roberts and Jerome Baker.
