The Dolphins released Eichenberg (knee) on Monday with a failed physical designation, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Eichenberg spent the entire 2025 season on the reserve/PUP list due to a leg injury that he suffered during the offseason. Per Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post in January, Eichenberg said that he was unsure whether he would be able to play again. While retirement is certainly on the table, if the 2021 second-rounder can progress enough in his recovery, then he should garner interest from teams looking to add depth to their offensive line. Eichenberg started in 52 of 60 regular-season games since he was drafted.

Dolphins' Liam Eichenberg: Uncertainty on playing career
Rotowire
Eichenberg (knee) told reporters Monday that he's uncertain he'll be able to play again, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Eichenberg suffered a leg injury during offseason training in 2025, which led to him being placed on the PUP list and missing the entire season, per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. While he expressed a desire to play in 2026, Eichenberg's comments suggest that he isn't progressing as much in his recovery as he would like. If he ends up not playing again, the 2021 second-rounder will end his NFL career having started 52 of 60 regular-season games.

Dolphins' Liam Eichenberg: Moves to reserve/PUP list
Rotowire
Eichenberg (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/PUP list by the Dolphins on Tuesday.
The designation means that the offensive guard will have to miss at least the first four regular-season games. Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said in July that Eichenberg would have to miss several weeks, per David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, though at that point he was still expected back for the start of the regular season. The 2021 second-round pick started 14 of 17 regular-season games for Miami in 2024 and has started 53 of the 61 games he's played in during his career, regular season and postseason.

Dolphins' Liam Eichenberg: Practices in full Wednesday
Rotowire
Eichenberg (undisclosed) did not appear on Wednesday's injury report, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
Eichenberg was sidelined during joint practices against the Texans in mid-August, as Miami coach Mike McDaniel said he was dealing with a "nagging injury." However, it appears this issue won't limit the 25-year-old heading into Sunday's season opener against the Chargers. Eichenberg should maintain his starting spot at left guard to begin the 2023 campaign.
