Titans' Walt Aikens: Finds new home
Aikens (ankle) inked a contract with the Titans on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Aikens left the final game of the 2019 regular season with the Dolphins due to an ankle injury, but as evidenced by this news, he appears ready to compete for a roster spot. In 15 games with Miami last season, the 29-year-old supplied 21 tackles (15 solo) and one pass breakup across 15 games.

Dolphins' Walt Aikens: Gets hurt Sunday
Aikens is questionable to return to Sunday's tilt against the Patriots due to an ankle injury, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
It's not clear how Aikens sustained the injury, but he was forced to leave Sunday's contest in the fourth quarter. If he's unable to retake the field, Aikens will finish the 2019 season with 22 tackles (15 solo) and one defended pass across 15 contests.

Dolphins' Walt Aikens: Reason for scratch revealed
Coach Brian Flores said Aikens didn't travel with the team for Sunday's game against the Giants due to a violation of team rules, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
It's unsettled whether this issue will keep Aikens out of Week 16's game against the Bengals as well. Aikens mainly works on special teams, so his absence didn't shake up the defensive dynamic.

Dolphins' Walt Aikens: Unavailable Week 15
Aikens didn't travel with the team for Sunday's game against the Giants, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Aikens has played in all 13 games this season but won't be available for Sunday's game in New York. The 28-year-old has played only 13 offensive snaps since the Week 5 bye, so his absence should only impact Miami's special teams.

Dolphins' Walt Aikens: Dealing with hip injury
Aikens is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets with a hip injury.
Aikens played only nine snaps on special teams in last week's loss to the Steelers but apparently sustained the hip injury during the contest. The 28-year-old was a limited practice participant all week and may end up being a game-time decision.

Dolphins' Walt Aikens: Ready for Week 17
Aikens (hand) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game at Buffalo, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.
Aikens sustained the hand injury Week 16 against the Jaguars but was able to practice fully Friday to help avoid the questionable tag. The 27-year-old has played a handful of defensive snaps in each of the last three games and should see a similar workload in the season finale.

Dolphins' Walt Aikens: Remaining in Miami
Aikens will sign a two-year extension with the Dolphins, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Aikens provides the Dolphins with some veteran depth in the secondary as he has spent his entire four-year career in Miami. In 16 games last season, Aikens recorded nine tackles (six solo) and one forced fumble.

Dolphins' Walt Aikens: Heading to free agency
Aikens finished the 2017 season with nine tackles and one forced fumble.
The 2017 season marked the final one on his contract, and with a modest 16 tackles, over the past two seasons it would seem unlikely that the Dolphins will bring him back. Aikens will look to sign with a team that needs depth at the safety position once free agency starts on March 14.
