News

  • Re-signs with practice squad

    The Saints signed Merritt to their practice squad Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Merritt was waived as a part of the Saints' final roster cuts Tuesday after he spent time both as a receiver and as a running back during camp. The 25-year-old will provide a versatile depth option for New Orleans if the team is bothered by injuries this season.

  • Waived by New Orleans

    The Saints waived Merritt on Tuesday, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Merritt spent the majority of the 2021 campaign on the Dolphins' practice squad but joined the Saints in January via a futures deal. New Orleans had Merritt operating as both a running back and wideout during training camp, but aside from a touchdown grab in Week 2, he failed to make a major impact. Merritt now finds himself among a wave of cuts ahead of Tuesday's 53-man roster deadline.

  • Takes snaps at running back

    Merritt lined up in the backfield for several snaps Sunday, John DeShazier of the team's official website reports.

    Analysis: After spending the majority of the 2021 campaign on the Dolphins' practice squad, Merritt joined the Saints in January. It appears as if the team is considering using him in a hybrid role, affording him reps at both running back and wide receiver.

  • Signing with New Orleans

    The Saints will sign Merritt to a reserve/future contract Monday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Merritt spent most of the 2021 campaign on the Dolphins' practice squad and was elevated to the active roster twice. He secured one of three targets for 13 yards and now will attempt to carve out a role with New Orleans during the offseason.

  • Rejoins Miami's practice squad

    Merritt reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday.

    Analysis: Merritt played eight snaps on special teams in Sunday's loss to the Titans. He didn't put up any other stats, though.

  • Elevated to active roster

    The Dolphins elevated Merritt from their practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

    Analysis: Merritt will be active for the first time since Week 9. During that contest, he played 11 offensive snaps and caught one of three targets for 13 yards. The 24-year-old is expected to have a similar role against the Titans in Week 17.

  • Catches one ball in win

    Merritt caught one of three targets for 13 yards Sunday in the Dolphins' 17-9 win over the Texans. He reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad following the game.

    Analysis: After being elevated from the practice squad prior to the contest, Merritt saw his first action of the season Sunday. The 24-year-old wideout played on just 11 of the team's 75 offensive snaps, but he was still highly involved during his minimal time on the field. He could have had a shot at an even bigger day if not for Jacoby Brissett slightly underthrowing a deep ball that Merritt couldn't reel in. With Will Fuller (finger) likely to remain on injured reserve Week 10 along with fellow…read more

  • Bumps up from practice squad

    Merritt was elevated from the Dolphins' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

    Analysis: Merritt is searching for his first game action of 2021 after this move. He also was elevated Week 6 but never saw the field. He'll give the Dolphins added Week 9 wideout depth, with DeVante Parker (shoulder/hamstring) having been placed on IR on Friday.

  • Returns to practice squad

    Merritt reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transactions report.

    Analysis: Merritt was active for Sunday's loss to the Jaguars, his first stint on the active roster of the season, but he didn't ultimately play. If the Dolphins are still dealing with a plethora of injuries at the wide receiver position by the time they take on Atlanta in Week 7, Merritt could be called upon again.

  • First stint on active roster

    Merritt was elevated from the practice squad Saturday.

    Analysis: Merritt will get his first call-up to the active roster with both Will Fuller (finger) and DeVante Parker (shoulder/hamstring) inactive for Sunday's London contest. The 24-year-old has played in just one NFL game to date.

  • Retained on practice squad

    The Dolphins signed Merritt to the practice squad Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Merritt never had a realistic chance to secure a spot on the initial 53-man roster given Miami's considerable depth at wide receiver, but the second-year pro will get to continue his development with the team. As a rookie in 2020, Merritt appeared in one game for the Dolphins.

  • Inks future contract

    The Dolphins signed Merritt to a reserve/future contract Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Merritt appeared in one game with the Dolphins in 2020, a Week 9 matchup against the Cardinals in which he wasn't targeted. Otherwise, he spent most of the year on Miami's practice squad. He'll work to continue his development with the team during the offseason.

  • Lands on practice squad

    Merritt reverted back to Miami's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Analysis: Merritt was brought up from the practice squad ahead of Week 17, but he was ultimately inactive. He appeared in one game this season, playing seven snaps on special teams and one on offense.

  • Coming up from practice squad

    Merritt was activated as a COVID-19 replacement for Sunday's Week 17 road battle against the Bills.

    Analysis: Miami will be without Ryan Fitzpatrick for Week 17 given his positive COVID-19 result from Thursday. Merritt swings up to the active roster as a late addition, aligning the 23-year-old for his second game appearance of 2020. He fielded one snap on offense and seven more on special teams during his NFL debut Week 9 against Arizona.

  • Clears COVID-19 protocols

    Merrit was restored from the practice squad COVID-19 list Friday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Merritt's now eligible to return to team activities. The Arkansas State standout has played one game this season, sticking almost exclusively to special teams.

  • In COVID-19 protocol

    Merritt was placed on the practice squad COVID-19 list Tuesday, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Merritt either tested positive for the virus or came into close contact with an infected person. He'll need to clear the league's protocols before returning to the Dolphins' scout team.

  • Shipped back to practice squad

    Merritt reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Analysis: Merritt only reached the field for a total of seven special-teams snaps and one offensive snap during Sunday's 34-31 win over the Cardinals, failing to make a statistical contribution on a limited workload. With his NFL debut now in hand, the undrafted rookie from Arkansas State shifts his focus on earning another trip to the active roster in the near future. With Preston Williams (foot) deemed day-to-day and Lynn Bowden currently residing on the reserve/COVID-19 list, there remains a…read more

  • Rises from practice squad

    The Dolphins elevated Merritt to the active roster Saturday.

    Analysis: The undrafted rookie will make his NFL debut Sunday against the Cardinals, as the Dolphins need depth at wide receiver after trading away Isaiah Ford and placing Lynn Bowden on the reserve/COVID-19 list earlier this week. Merritt was quite productive in his final season at Arkansas State, producing 70 receptions for 806 yards and 12 touchdowns. He's expected to be the No. 6 wideout on Miami's depth chart.

  • Heads to waivers

    The Dolphins waived Merritt on Friday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: The undrafted rookie out of Arkansas State enjoyed impressive collegiate production with 153 receptions for 1,811 yards and 19 touchdowns over his final two seasons, but he couldn't secure a roster spot in Miami. If he clears waivers, the Dolphins intend to keep him on the practice squad.
