Before the Miami Dolphins Week 4 battle with the Buffalo Bills, the team surprisingly placed wide receiver Erik Ezukanma on the non-football injury list.
At the time, Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel mentioned that they were checking on an injury that Ezukanma had in college during his time at Texas Tech which resulted in his placement on the list.
It’s been two months since then, and there hasn’t been much talk about the former Red Raider’s status. McDaniel’s last update came in October when he said the process was still going.
UPDATE: On Thursday, wide receivers coach Wes Welker said he still hasn’t been cleared to get on the field.
Ezukanma shared his feelings on the situation on social media this week.

When his teammate, Tyreek Hill, responded, Ezukanma shared a little video from Miami’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Dolphins have a lot of depth at the position, so they don’t necessarily need Ezukanma right now, but it would be nice to see what the 2022 fourth-round pick can do.
Hopefully, he’ll be back on the field soon making plays in aqua and orange, but Miami only has one designation to return to use after they used their seventh on running back Chris Brooks on Wednesday.
