Dolphins’ Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Recovering From Undisclosed Injury<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Miami Dolphins signed receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine this offseason to a two-year, $5.99 million contract to be Miami’s No. 3 receiver behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.<\/p>\n

Westbrook-Ikhine spent the first five years of his career with the\u00a0Tennessee\u00a0Titans, carving out a reliable role as the team’s third option and fringe-second option in the passing game.<\/p>\n

However, at Wednesday’s mandatory minicamp, Westbrook-Ikhine revealed he’s been working through an injury.<\/p>\n

Mike McDaniel said the receiver missed some time earlier this season due to the injury, but also noted that Westbrook-Ikhine has been “locked in” since he’s been back.<\/p>\n

Westbrook-Ikhine added that he’s still working on establishing his role behind Hill and Waddle because of the missed opportunities earlier in the offseason.<\/p>\n

But the receiver’s injury does not appear to be anything that will keep him away from training camp.<\/p>\n

Westbrook-Ikhine will be entering his sixth season in the NFL, getting a chance with the Titans in 2020 after going undrafted.<\/p>\n

The Dolphins’ receiver has averaged 435 yards over the last four seasons since his rookie year, when he had just eight targets. Westbrook-Ikhine is coming off his best season in 2024, where he reeled in 32 passes for 497 yards and excelled in the red zone with nine touchdowns on the year.<\/p>\n

The undrafted receiver had a solid career at Indiana as well. In his final three full seasons, Westbrook-Ikhine collected 2,157 yards and 15 touchdowns.<\/p>\n

Although he had a small setback in getting acclimated with his new teammates in Miami, Westbrook-Ikhine seems to be recovering well from his undisclosed injury and is ready to earn a role on the Dolphins in 2025.<\/p>\n
