Needham was released by the Dolphins on Tuesday. Needham re-signed with Miami in March, compiling seven total tackles during the preseason. The cornerback played in 10 games with the Dolphins in 2023 and he'll likely get another opportunity elsewhere in the near future.
-
Needham and the Dolphins agreed to a one-year contract Saturday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. Needham appeared in five games with Miami during the 2023 campaign, recording seven tackles while playing 66 defensive snaps and 31 snaps with the special-teams unit. The 27-year-old will likely operate as a reserve option at cornerback with the Dolphins in 2024.

Needham (Achilles) is active ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots. The 26-year-old corner is in line to make his first appearance of the season, as he tore his Achilles during Miami's 2022 Week 6 contest. Needham will add depth to a Dolphins secondary that will be without Xavien Howard (groin) for the second consecutive game.
-
Miami activated Needham (Achilles) from its reserve/PUP list Tuesday. The Dolphins originally designated Needham for return 20 days ago, and after a few weeks of practice, it seems he's finally on the precipice of returning to game action. He should see notable playing time as soon as he's back in pads.

The Dolphins designated Needham (Achilles) to return from the reserve/PUP list Wednesday, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports. Needham has spent the season on the PUP list as he recovers from a torn Achilles suffered last season but he is now closer to making his return. The 26-year-old will add solid depth to Miami's secondary once he's officially added to the active roster.
