The Dolphins placed Berrios (knee) on injured reserve Monday, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
Berrios sustained a knee injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Colts, and being placed on IR on Monday suggests the issue is significant. The 29-year-old now will be forced to miss the Dolphins' next four games, with his earliest possible return coming Week 12 against the Patriots. After Berrios' placement on IR, the Dolphins have just four wide receivers on their active roster: Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Odell Beckham and rookie Malik Washington. Expect De'Von Achane and Washington to serve as Miami's top kick and punt returners, respectively, until Berrios can return.

Dolphins' Braxton Berrios: Will play Week 5
Rotowire
Berrios (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Berrios practiced fully Friday after limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday to gain clearance for Sunday's showdown between AFC East cellar dwellers. He'll play his usual role in the slot while returning both kickoffs and punts, but Miami's ceiling on offense remains low with Tyler Huntley set to start under center, and most of Huntley's throws will likely be directed to Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.

Dolphins' Braxton Berrios: Limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Berrios (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Berrios appears to have sustained an ankle injury during the Dolphins' Week 4 loss to the Titans, despite playing 26 total snaps (14 offensive and 12 on special teams) and logging 27 punt-return yards. The Miami product's participation Thursday and Friday will provide a better indication of his potential availability in Week 5, as the Dolphins travel to New England.

Dolphins' Braxton Berrios: Not targeted in Week 4 loss
Rotowire
Berrios was not targeted during Miami's 31-12 loss to the Titans on Monday night.
Berrios logged his first game of the regular season without a target Monday. He remains without a catch through four appearances, though, despite having drawn four targets combined in the first three weeks of the season. Berrios, and the Dolphins' passing game as a whole, will look to bounce back Sunday in a road divisional matchup against the Patriots.

Dolphins' Braxton Berrios: Can't secure only target Week 3
Rotowire
Berrios did not catch his only target during Sunday's 24-3 loss to the Seahawks.
Berrios remains without a catch through three regular-season games, though he has been targeted four times. He made a bigger impact on special teams versus Seattle, returning one kickoff for 31 yards and one punt for 44 yards. He'll look to make more of his opportunities on offense versus Tennessee on Sunday.

Dolphins' Braxton Berrios: Held without catch again
Rotowire
Berrios could not secure his only target during Thursday's 31-10 loss to the Bills.
Berrios has yet to record a catch through two contests this season, and he has three targets in that span. Notably, both Grant DuBose and Robbie Chosen (practice squad elevation) drew more targets than Berrios on Thursday. He's dropped off the fantasy radar in even deeper formats heading into a Week 3 road matchup against Seattle.

Dolphins' Braxton Berrios: Not practicing due to minor issue
Rotowire
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday that Berrios is dealing with a minor, unspecified injury, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
The slot receiver and return specialist didn't practice Wednesday and presumably won't play in Friday's preseason game against the Falcons. Berrios is still expected to be ready well before the start of the regular season.

Dolphins' Braxton Berrios: Returns to Miami
Rotowire
Berrios signed a one-year contract worth up to $3 million with the Dolphins on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPNreports.
Berrios tallied just seven receptions for 44 yards over the Dolphins' final nine contests, which is surprising given he played at minimum 40 percent of the offensive snaps in every contest. Expect the veteran to primarily be the team's return man once again, a role that allowed him to tally 676 total return yards last season.

Dolphins' Braxton Berrios: Little impact in blowout loss
Rotowire
Berrios secured both of his targets for 10 yards during Sunday's 56-19 loss to the Ravens.
Berrios also racked up 74 yards as a kick returner. He saw more opportunity for targets with Jaylen Waddle (ankle) sidelined, but it was Cedrick Wilson who found the end zone (two targets) while working behind top wideout Tyreek Hill. It's conceivable that Waddle misses Week 18's game against the Bills, in which case Berrios will once again be in position to handle a more notable depth role.

Dolphins' Braxton Berrios: Draws two targets vs. Titans
Rotowire
Berrios secured both of his targets for 13 yards during Monday's 28-27 loss to Tennessee.
Berrios once again operated as Miami's top return man, but with Tyreek Hill (ankle) having to move between the field and the sideline Monday, Berrios also saw a slight uptick of involvement on offense. In the event Hill is forced to miss the Dolphins' divisional matchup against the Jets in Week 15, Berrios and fellow depth wideout Cedrick Wilson could both be thrust into larger roles behind Jaylen Waddle.

Dolphins' Braxton Berrios: Held without a catch
Rotowire
Berrios failed to secure his only target during Friday's 34-13 win over the Jets.
Berrios made an impact in the return game, fielding both kickoffs and punts, but his involvement in the passing game remains marginal despite handling 54 percent of offensive snaps. He remains an ancillary option for Miami heading into a Week 13 matchup at Washington.

Dolphins' Braxton Berrios: Likely to play in Week 12
Rotowire
Berrios (hamstring) was listed as a full participant Tuesday on the Dolphins' estimated practice report, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Berrios was unable to play in the Dolphins' Week 11 win over the Raiders due to a hamstring injury, but he appears to be trending toward a return for Friday's matchup with the Jets. The wide receiver has reeled in three catches for 15 yards over his last three appearances.

Dolphins' Braxton Berrios: Won't suit up Sunday
Rotowire
Berrios (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Berrios is one of two Dolphins depth receivers who will miss Sunday's contest, as Chase Claypool is also sidelined after undergoing a minor knee surgery while Miami was on bye Week 10. Though Miami listed Berrios as questionable heading into the weekend, he wasn't able to gain clearance after he managed nothing more than limited practice participation Wednesday through Friday. With Berrios and Claypool out of the mix for Week 11, the Dolphins will turn to Cedrick Wilson, River Cracraft and Robbie Chosen as their depth options behind starting wideouts Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.

Dolphins' Braxton Berrios: Questionable for Week 11
Rotowire
Berrios (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Berrios logged limited practices Thursday and Friday after opening the week as a non-participant Wednesday. Per Wingfield, coach Mike McDaniel said earlier Friday that Berrios has a chance "for sure" to play Sunday, but there's a chance the team will keep the wide receiver out to be proactive about his recovery from the hamstring injury, through which Berrios played in the Week 9 loss to Kansas City prior to Miami's Week 10 bye.

Dolphins' Braxton Berrios: Limited Thursday
Rotowire
Berrios (hamstring) was officially limited in Thursday's practice, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.
It puts Berrios on track to play against the Raiders after he missed practice Wednesday. Berrios has appeared in all nine games this season, recording a 20-194-1 receiving line on 25 targets as an ancillary option behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.

Dolphins' Braxton Berrios: Back on practice field
Rotowire
Berrios (hamstring) returned to practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Berrios missed Wednesday's session, but his return to the field a day later has him trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders. The Dolphins' upcoming injury report will relay whether Berrios practiced fully or was limited Thursday.

Dolphins' Braxton Berrios: Held without catch
Rotowire
Berrios wasn't targeted while playing 17 snaps on offense during Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Chiefs.
Berrios managed to suit up and play through his hamstring injury despite being officially listed as questionable, but it was Cedrick Wilson who handled the majority of No. 3 receiver work for Miami. With just three catches for 15 yards on five targets across his last three games, it's clear that Berrios' role on offense has diminished with Wilson's emergence and the arrival of Chase Claypool. When the Dolphins take on the Raiders in Week 11, after a bye, Berrios will once again do most of his damage on special teams.

Dolphins' Braxton Berrios: Suiting up in Frankfurt
Rotowire
Berrios (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs in Frankfurt, Germany.
A mid-week addition to the Dolphins' injury report, Berrios was a limited participant in practices Thursday and Friday before taking a questionable tag into the weekend. The Dolphins were ultimately encouraged enough by how Berrios looked during those practice sessions to keep him active Sunday, so he should be ready to handle his usual role as the No. 3 receiver behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Through the first nine games of the season, Berrios has recorded 20 receptions for 194 yards and a touchdown on 25 targets to go with 11 yards on his lone carry.
