2025 Fantasy Outlook
Eichenberg is a below-average starter, but if surrounded by reliable talent along the rest of the O-line, he'd be capable of avoiding true 'liability' status. Miami's offensive line is no guarantee to provide that level of assistance to Eichenberg, though, with LT Patrick Paul potentially needing more development, and RG James Daniel coming off an Achilles tear. Rookie second-rounder Jonah Savaiinaea will start at LG with Eichenberg beginning the regular season on IR. Read Past Outlooks
Released by the Dolphins in March of 2026.
Let go with failed physical
The Dolphins released Eichenberg (knee) on Monday with a failed physical designation, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Eichenberg spent the entire 2025 season on the reserve/PUP list due to a leg injury that he suffered during the offseason. Per Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post in January, Eichenberg said that he was unsure whether he would be able to play again. While retirement is certainly on the table, if the 2021 second-rounder can progress enough in his recovery, then he should garner interest from teams looking to add depth to their offensive line. Eichenberg started in 52 of 60 regular-season games since he was drafted.

Eichenberg, a 2021 second-round pick, hasn't yet showcased reliable starting ability in his NFL career. He remains a vulnerability on offense, one which could be compounded if oft-injured players like Terron Armstead and Isaiah Wynn miss time.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Struggling to adapt as rookie
Eichenberg has been the league's least effective left tackle this season, allowing league highs at the position with 43 pressures and nine sacks, as well as a pressure percentage of 10.4 percent, according to Larry Holder of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Miami has had its fair share of issues on offense, and Eichenberg's poor play is chief among them. The Dolphins threw the rookie second-round pick into a starting role right off the bat, and thus far, he hasn't handled the assignment well. The 3-7 Dolphins will likely give Eichenberg the rest of the season to try to improve, but they'll likely search for an alternative option in the offseason if his struggles persist. Shifting Eichenberg to the less demanding guard position could be an option for Miami down the line.
