Miami Dolphins’ recent draft pick Tahj Washington’s debut season will be postponed as he has been placed on the team’s injured reserve list as of Tuesday, sidelining him for the entirety of the year.
Specific details regarding Washington’s injury have not been disclosed. The rookie wide receiver had actively participated in the Dolphins’ offseason activities but was subsequently listed on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list shortly after arriving for training camp last week.
The setback of missing his first NFL season might be mitigated by the packed depth chart of the Dolphins at the wide receiver position. With stars such as Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and Odell Beckham Jr., securing a spot on the team’s active roster would have been challenging for the seventh-round draft pick. This situation allows the Dolphins to retain Washington without needing to release him, which would have risked losing him if they attempted to assign him to the practice squad later.
In related team updates, the Dolphins have also placed Odell Beckham Jr. on the PUP list while signing another wide receiver, Kyric McGowan, further bolstering their options in that position.
