Hurns (wrist) has been released by the Dolphins with a failed physical designation.
Hurns, who opted out of the 2020 season, also missed missed the 2021 campaign after undergoing wrist surgery in August. If the 30-year-old can reprove his health in the coming months, the wideout could catch on with another team and compete for a roster spot in that context, but for now Hurns is off the fantasy radar.

Dolphins' Allen Hurns: Set to miss three months
Rotowire
Hurns requires surgery to address a wrist injury and is expected to miss three months, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Hurns missed Saturday's preseason contest against the Bears, and the full severity of his injury now has been disclosed. The 29-year-old already was facing tough competition for a depth role in Miami's wide receiver room, and his three-month injury could result in the team leaving him out of future plans on offense. Expect Hurns to be placed on injured reserve in the coming days, and for the likes of Robert Foster, Isaiah Ford, Malcolm Perry and Kirk Merritt to see a slight uptick in camp opportunities.

Dolphins' Allen Hurns: Likely out Saturday
Rotowire
Hurns is not expected to play Saturday against the Bears.
Hurns isn't listed with any sort of injury, but it's possible a reason for the veteran wide receiver's absence will be revealed post game. The 29-year-old is likely on the fringes of the roster bubble in a heated battle with Robert Foster, Mack Hollins and Malcolm Perry for one of the final WR roster spots.

Dolphins' Allen Hurns: Returns for offseason program
Rotowire
Hurns participated in Miami's offseason program.
Hurns took the COVID-19 opt out last year, tolling the final years of his contract to 2021-22. The deal includes a $1.25 million guarantee on his $1.875 million base salary this season, so the Dolphins won't have much financial/cap incentive to release him this summer. However, the team does have tough competition for roster spots at wide receiver behind likely starters DeVante Parker, Will Fuller (suspension) and Jaylen Waddle. In addition to Hurns and fellow 2020 opt out Albert Wilson, the team has Preston Williams (foot), Lynn Bowden, Jakeem Grant and Mack Hollins competing for depth roles.

Dolphins' Allen Hurns: Opts out of season
Rotowire
Hurns has elected to opt out of the 2020 season, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
In a statement via Twitter, Hurns noted that he made the decision with what's best for his family in mind. The 28-year-old hauled in 32 passes for 416 yards and two TDs in 14 games with the Dolphins last season. With Hurns having opted out, DeVante Parker, Preston Williams and Albert Wilson currently top the team's wideout depth chart.

Dolphins' Allen Hurns: Likely headed for depth role
Rotowire
Hurns projects for a backup role in 2020, Armando Salguero of The Miami Herald reports.
Hurns opened last season in a part-time role and elevated to the No. 2 receiver job after Preston Williams suffered an ACL tear in Week 9. The 28-year-old had an efficient season with a 68.1 percent catch rate and 8.9 yards per target, but he never topped five catches or 68 yards in any one game, ultimately catching 32 passes on 522 offensive snaps. Given that he signed a two-year extension in November, Hurns figures to keep his roster spot in 2020, though the extent of his role may depend on Williams' recovery. The Dolphins might also consider using Hurns in the slot, especially if Albert Wilson becomes a cap casualty. Hurns' experience playing both inside and outside makes him useful as a No. 4 receiver, capable of filling in at any of the WR spots. He should be fully recovered from the ankle and neck injuries that caused him to miss Week 17 last season.

Dolphins' Allen Hurns: Sitting in Week 17
Rotowire
Hurns (ankle/neck) is inactive for Sunday's Week 17 tilt against the Patriots.
The young veteran headed into the weekend with a legitimate questionable tag, but he apparently didn't show enough in pregame warmups to warrant active status. Hurns signed a contract extension with the Dolphins earlier this season and finished the campaign with a 32-416-2 line on 47 targets, stepping up his play in the second half of the season. His absence Sunday could lead to an uptick in snaps and targets for isaiah Ford and Albert Wilson.

Dolphins' Allen Hurns: Takes questionable tag into finale
Rotowire
Hurns (ankle/neck) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Hurns was listed as a limited participant in practice throughout the week, preventing him from earning clearance in advance of the season finale. In the event the 28-year-old ultimately avoids the inactive list, he should see a fair amount of snaps in a four-man receiver rotation that also includes DeVante Parker, Albert Wilson and Isaiah Ford.

Dolphins' Allen Hurns: Limited in practice Thursday
Rotowire
Hurns (ankle/neck) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.
Hurns has logged back-to-back limited practice sessions. The 28-year-old will likely manage to play through his injuries during Sunday's regular-season finale against the Patriots, in which case he'll play his usual role as Miami's No. 3 wideout.

Dolphins' Allen Hurns: Cleared to play Sunday
Rotowire
Hurns (ankle/knee) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bengals after practicing in a limited fashion this week.
Hurns thus is in line to see work in three-receiver sets alongside DeVante Parker and Albert Wilson, but he's tough to trust in Week 16 fantasy lineups after seeing just one target (which resulted in a nine-yard catch) in last Sunday's loss to the Giants,

Dolphins' Allen Hurns: Limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Hurns was limited in Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Hurns was held out of the Dolphins' first practice of Week 15 due to ankle and knee injuries, but he managed to suit up without incident in an eventual loss to the Giants. The 28-year-old appears on track to play Sunday against the Bengals and handle a regular role in three-receiver sets alongside DeVante Parker (hip) and Albert Wilson (hip).

Dolphins' Allen Hurns: Held to one catch
Rotowire
Hurns caught his only target for nine yards during Sunday's 36-20 loss to the Giants.
Hurns is operating behind DeVante Parker, Albert Wilson and Mike Gesicki in the pecking order of Miami's aerial attack, with running back Patrick Laird also demanding a larger target share. Without high enough upside to balance out his low floor, Hurns doesn't warrant fantasy consideration outside the deepest of leagues.

Dolphins' Allen Hurns: Suiting up versus Giants
Rotowire
Hurns (ankle/knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's tilt with the Giants, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Hurns was unable to practice Wednesday due to ankle and knee injuries, but he's now logged two consecutive full practices and looks to be back to full health.

Hurns didn't practice Wednesday while nursing ankle and knee injuries, but he now appears back to full health. With DeVante Parker and Albert Wilson both still in the concussion protocol and limited in practice, Hurns could be called upon to step into an every-down role on offense during Sunday's tilt against the Giants.

Dolphins' Allen Hurns: Back at practice
Rotowire
Hurns (ankle/knee) is participating in Thursday's practice, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Hurns was held out of Wednesday's practice due to ankle and knee injuries, so even if he ends up listed as "limited" on Thursday's practice report, it'll represent a step in the right direction. If the 28-year-old is able to get healthy in time for Sunday's tilt against the Giants, he could be in line for a lead role in Miami's receiving corps with DeVante Parker and Albert Wilson both still in the concussion protocol.

Dolphins' Allen Hurns: Non-participant Wednesday
Rotowire
Hurns didn't practice Wednesday due to ankle and knee injuries.
Hurns is apparently hurting coming out of the Week 14 loss to the Jets, during which he hauled in five of eight targets for a season-high 68 yards. With DeVante Parker (concussion) and Albert Wilson (concussion) both limited in practice Wednesday, Miami's only healthy wide receivers to begin Week 15 are Isaiah Ford, Mack Hollins and Trevor Davis.

Dolphins' Allen Hurns: Five catches against Jets
Rotowire
Hurns caught five of eight targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 22-21 loss to the Jets.
No. 1 receiver DeVante Parker exited with a concussion, but Hurns still played second fiddle to Isaiah Ford, who finished with 92 yards on nine targets. Hurns will have some deep-league appeal Week 15 against a Giants defense that's struggled to defend the wide receiver position, especially if Parker has to miss that game.
