Spaight agreed to join the Dolphins on Tuesday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Redskins' Martrell Spaight: Finishes with 75 tackles
Spaight posted 75 tackles (45 solo) and two pass breakups in 15 games with the Redskins in 2017.
Spaight's third season was up-and-down but he finished on a strong note with 29 tackles over the final three games of the season. The inconsistency made him a difficult to trust IDP option, which included six games with two tackles or less. The 24-year-old is entering the final season of his rookie contract and could have more opportunities at inside linebacker with starters Zach Brown and Mason Foster currently unsigned for 2018.

Redskins' Martrell Spaight: Available Sunday
Spaight (ankle/illness) is listed as active Sunday versus the Giants in New York.
Spaight has been productive at times during his third season, tallying at least seven tackles in seven of 14 appearances. With the team's leading tackler, Zach Brown (knee/Achilles), out of commission yet again, Spaight has a decent shot to post eight (or more) stops for a third straight game.

Redskins' Martrell Spaight: Questionable for season finale
Spaight (ankle, illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Spaight's only practice this week was a limited session on Friday, so his status for the season finale is truly up in the air. The 24-year-old has dealt with the ankle injury since late November but only missed one game, so he shouldn't be assumed as out before inactives are officially announced at 11:30am EST Sunday morning.

Redskins' Martrell Spaight: Misses practice Wednesday
Spaight was held out of practice Wednesday with an ankle injury and an illness.
Spaight has been nursing the ankle issue since late November, but has only missed one game as a result. The illness is a newer concern for the linebacker, but so long as he's able to return to practice in some capacity Thursday and Friday, Spaight will have a good shot at suiting up Sunday against the Giants. With inside linebacker Zach Brown (knee/Achilles) missing the Redskins' last two games -- and trending toward a third absence in Week 17 -- Spaight has picked up extra snaps and generated 16 tackles over that span.

Redskins' Martrell Spaight: Gets green light for Sunday
Spaight (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
The ankle injury limited Spaight's participation in practice this week and resulted in him taking a questionable designation into Sunday, but he never seemed in serious peril of sitting out after playing through the issue last week. Look for Spaight to share snaps with Zach Vigil at the inside linebacker spot next to Zach Brown.

Redskins' Martrell Spaight: Inactive for Thanksgiving contest
Spaight (ankle) is listed as inactive for Thursday's game against the Giants, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
This isn't much of a surprise, as Spaight was unable to practice all week. In his absence, expect Josh Harvey-Clemons and Zach Vigil to both receive healthy snap counts.

Redskins' Martrell Spaight: Questionable for Week 12
Spaight (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Giants.
Spaight was listed as a non-participant in each of the Redskins' three practice reports this week, which suggests he may be trending toward sitting out the Thanksgiving Day contest. If that's the case, Josh Harvey-Clemons or Zach Vigil would likely be called upon to start at the inside linebacker spot alongside Zach Brown (Achilles), according to Stephen Czarda of the Redskins' official site.

Redskins' Martrell Spaight: Cleared to play Sunday
Spaight (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Spaight turned in his most productive outing of the season in the Week 8 loss to the Cowboys with seven tackles across 53 snaps, but he came out of the contest nursing the shoulder injury. It doesn't look like it will prevent Spaight from taking the field Sunday, however, leaving the linebacker in line to see action on special teams and as part of sub packages on defense.
