Eskridge (knee) will be listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Eskridge injured his knee Week 14 against the Jets, and he hasn't seen the practice field since. The return specialist likely will miss his second straight matchup after being inactive for last week's loss to the Texans. The final decision for the 27-year-old's status probably will be decided on Sunday before kickoff.

Eskridge (knee) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's injury report, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Eskridge was sidelined for the Dolphins' Week 15 loss to the Texans due to a knee injury he suffered the week prior against the Jets. He'll have to return to practice in at least a limited capacity over the next two days in order to have a chance at playing against the 49ers on Sunday. Malik Washington would be slated to serve as the Dolphins' primary returner on kickoffs and punts if Eskridge were to be sidelined.

Dolphins' Dee Eskridge: Joins active roster
Rotowire
The Dolphins elevated Eskridge to their active roster ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Titans.
The 2021 second-round pick's elevation provides depth in Miami's wide-receiver room, as only Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Braxton Berrios were without injury designations. Expect Eskridge to serve as a depth piece in the Dolphins' WR corps while also potentially providing some value on special teams.

Eskridge reverted to Miami's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Eskridge logged seven offensive snaps during Sunday's 24-3 loss at Seattle, catching his only target for 30 yards. He also returned a kick for 28 yards. With the Dolphins dealing with a bevy of injuries in their wide-receiver room, it wouldn't be surprising to see him get the nod again in Week 4.

Dee Eskridge: Dumped by Seattle
Rotowire
The Seahawks waived Eskridge on Tuesday, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.
The Seahawks used the No. 56 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft on Eskridge, but he was never able to stay healthy and failed to force his way onto the field when he was available. Eskridge wraps up his Seattle career with 17 catches for 122 yards and one touchdown on 34 targets across 24 regular-season games. The 27-year-old also has an ability to return kicks and will look for a fresh start elsewhere.

Eskridge missed the Seahawks' preseason game versus the Titans on Saturday due to an undisclosed injury but is now healthy again.

Seahawks' Dee Eskridge: Sits out preseason game
Rotowire
Eskridge missed Saturday's 16-15 preseason loss to the Titans with an undisclosed injury, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Eskridge's roster spot was always in jeopardy, and missing the week of practice and the second preseason game won't help his case. Particularly, Laviska Shenault has filled Eskridge's role admirably, working as a returner and a gadget player. Eskridge will need to get healthy quickly and perform well in the final preseason game versus the Browns in order to make the final roster.

Seahawks' Dee Eskridge: Taking part in OTAs
Rotowire
Eskridge (ribs) has been an active participant at the Seahawks' OTAs, Tim Weaver of Seahawks Wire reports.
Eskridge ended the 2023 campaign on injured reserve with a rib injury, but he now appears to be fully healthy at OTAs. The 27-year-old re-signed with Seattle in March after failing to record a reception over 16 offensive snaps in four games last season. The wide receiver has operated primarily as a return-specialist over the last two years, a role that he'll likely remain in with the Seahawks in 2024.

Seahawks' Dee Eskridge: Rejoins Seattle
Rotowire
Eskridge (ribs) signed a one-year, $1.055 million contract with the Seahawks on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
The 2021 second-round pick has been a massive disappointment given the draft capital invested, but Eskridge has proven to be a decent returner, registering 370 kick return yards over the past two years. The third-year wide receiver has yet to play a full season and most recently missed time last campaign due to a ribs injury that kept him out the final six contests.

Rotowire

Seahawks' Dee Eskridge: Still not practicing
Rotowire
Eskridge (ribs) did not practice Thursday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Eskridge has missed Seattle's past three games due to an injury to his ribs, and he hasn't practiced in any capacity since the first day of Week 15 prep. He appears to be trending toward missing a fourth straight contest Sunday against Pittsburgh, though that outlook could change if he's able to return to practice Friday. DK Metcalf didn't practice Thursday due to a back injury, so Seattle's wide-receiver unit could potentially be shorthanded against the Steelers.

Rotowire
Eskridge (ribs) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Eskridge has missed Seattle's past three games due to an injury to his ribs, and he's not trending in a positive direction as Sunday's game in Tennessee approaches. Even if he's able to get in some on-field work Thursday and/or Friday and is cleared to play Sunday, Eskridge will have a muted role on offense as a depth receiver for Seattle.

Eskridge (ribs) is questionable to suit up Monday against Philadelphia, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Eskridge logged a limited practice session Thursday but followed with a DNP both Friday and Saturday. However, he's still being given a chance to suit up on Monday Night Football.

Rotowire
Eskridge (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers after logging a limited practice session Friday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Eskridge sat out Thursday's practice with a rib injury and returned Friday in a limited capacity. The injury forced him to sit out the Seahawks' Week 13 loss to the Cowboys.
