Wide receiver Erik Ezukanma is still being patiently treated by the Miami Dolphins, but he is out due to another injury, which is not good when you are fighting for a roster position. For the man who his followers call EZ-E, nothing has been simple.
After a strong rookie camp, his NFL career has never really gotten off to a good start. The former fourth-round selection could now be nearing the end of his career. Ezukanma, who was drafted in 2022, has struggled with injuries, and Omar Kelly claims that he is now down once more.Erik Ezukanma, a wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins, has yet another injury.
Ezukanma has performed better in the rushing game than in the passing game since being drafted. Although he has only caught one ball on two targets for three yards, he has ran five times for 22 yards. It’s not what everyone anticipated from him.
The Dolphins have a talented roster, but Ezukanma’s return to injury raises doubts about whether he’ll make the final 53 and he might not have demonstrated enough to be added to the practice squad. Unfortunately, his injury could be beneficial to other players. The door is much broader for River Cracraft now that Ezukanma is out of the picture, and it might even be open for someone like Anthony Schwartz, who has been working on special teams in camp.
Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and Odell Beckham, Jr. hold the first three slots in Miami’s starting wide receiver group, making it predictable. The projected Nos. 4 and 5 receivers are Braxton Berrios and Cracraft, but seasoned wide receiver Willie Snead will also be able to cause a stir. And don’t overlook Malik Washington.
Although Ezukanma’s injury might not spell the end of his Dolphins career, it also won’t provide the organization with any more justification to hold onto him. He is a member of the mid-round wide receiver selection class, which has historically not been successful for the team.
