The Dolphins released Eichenberg (knee) on Monday with a failed physical designation, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Eichenberg (knee) told reporters Monday that he's uncertain he'll be able to again, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

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 in 52 of 60 regular-season games.

Head coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Eichenberg (undisclosed) still needs "several weeks" to return from his injury, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eichenberg missed all of training camp due to an undisclosed injury, which led to the Dolphins moving the fifth-year offensive lineman to the reserve/PUP list in late August. The nature of his injury hasn't been disclosed, but it appears Eichenberg will not see the field until late in the 2025 season, if at all.

Eichenberg (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/PUP list by the Dolphins on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Head coach Mike McDaniel said that Eichenberg (undisclosed) will be out for several weeks, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

There's now more clarity on Eichenberg's status after he was placed on the active/PUP list Monday with an undisclosed injury. The 27-year-old is, however, expected to be back for the start of the regular season, and in his absence, Daniel Brunskill will likely see extended usage during practice.

Miami placed Eichenberg (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear what type of issue Eichenberg is dealing with, but he's currently unable to practice. He can be activated at any point during the preseason. Eichenberg was a starter last season but is slated for a backup role in 2025 after the Dolphins signed James Daniels (Achilles) in March.

The Dolphins re-signed Eichenberg to a one-year contract Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eichenberg appeared in all 17 regular-season games for the Dolphins last season, making 14 starts. He played all 1,036 of his offensive snaps at right guard. Miami signed RG James Daniels in free agency earlier in the week, but both he and Eichenberg have experience along the interior of the offensive line. Fixing the offensive line is a priority for the Dolphins this offseason.

Eichenberg (undisclosed) did not appear on Wednesday's injury report, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Eichenberg (undisclosed) will be limited in joint practices with the Texans this week, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eichenberg is dealing with a "nagging injury," according to head coach Mike McDaniel. It's unclear how long the 25-year-old has been dealing with the injury or the specifics of it, but he'll focus more on his recovery, as opposed to preparing for Saturday's preseason game against Houston.

Eichenberg is back in practice after sustaining a hand injury Week 18, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eichenberg is now back in action after appearing in only 10 games last season due to arm and hand injuries. The 2021 second-round pick is slated to start at left guard but has also seen reps at center during OTAs.
