Dolphins Add RB Donovan Edwards From Commanders’ Practice Squad After Placing Darren Waller on IR

The move reinforces backfield depth with De'Von Achane's availability uncertain for the regular-season finale.

Overview

  • Miami announced Edwards’ signing to the 53-man roster on Jan. 2, creating the spot by putting Darren Waller on injured reserve.
  • Waller’s season ends with 24 receptions for 283 yards and six touchdowns in nine games.
  • Edwards, 22, produced more than 3,000 scrimmage yards and 25 touchdowns at Michigan, went undrafted in 2025, signed with the Jets, then spent this season on Washington’s practice squad without a game elevation.
  • The Dolphins now carry four running backs on the active roster — De’Von Achane, Jaylen Wright, Ollie Gordon II and Edwards — and Achane has not practiced this week.
  • Edwards is Miami’s second rookie addition this week from another team’s practice squad after the Dolphins signed quarterback Cam Miller from the Raiders.
