Eskridge has appeared in 25 games, recording 18 receptions for 152 yards and one touchdown. A 2021 second-round pick of the Seahawks, he signed with Miami’s practice squad on Aug. 29.

The Dolphins activated both Eskridge and Erik Ezukanma last week, but the decision to activate only Eskridge could suggest that Malik Washington is ready to make his NFL debut after recovering from a quadricep injury.

Quarterback Tyler Huntley will make his first start for the Dolphins after Skylar Thompson and Tim Boyle combined for just 140 passing yards in a 24-3 loss to the Seahawks. Eskridge rounds out a receiving corps featuring Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Braxton Berrios, and potentially Washington in a passing attack that ranks No. 9 with an average of 223 yards per game over the last three weeks.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill assembled a team of high-profile lawyers to help take on police misconduct nationwide. Video footage of Hill, 30, being roughly handled by Miami police officers last month went viral. Officer Danny Torres, who was captured on police body cam footage forcefully removing Hill from his McLaren and putting him on the ground, remains on administrative leave due to the incident. While Hill previously admitted that he could have handled the incident better, he is now also using his experience to tackle police misconduct across the country. Hill’s high-profile legal team consists of Atlanta-based attorney Julius B. Collins, former federal prosecutor Jeffrey A. Neiman from Fort Lauderdale, Stephen B. Kelly, Jr. of Jacksonville’s Rolle & Kelly, and civil rights attorney Devon M. Jacob, who has been involved in prominent cases, including representing the family of George Floyd after he was murdered by Minneapolis police in 2020. “Tyreek is demanding that Congress finally pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act,” Jacob told Newsweek on Monday.

The act would increase accountability for law enforcement misconduct and make it easier for the federal government to successfully prosecute police misconduct cases. Advocates say it would help lead to the end of racial and religious profiling and ban the use of chokeholds and no-knock warrants — which took the lives of Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Eric Garner — at the federal level. “Unfortunately, after George Floyd’s death, people have pretty much forgotten about the need for reform,” Jacob said. “This is a bipartisan bill that has already been negotiated and contains all the necessary reforms, or at least a good start, and the Republican Congress continues to not pass the bill, so it’s time that we do so.”

In March 2021, the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act passed the House but received no Republican support. It did not make it to the Senate and after bipartisan negotiations, collapsed by September 2021. Specifics on the kinds of measures Hill will take to achieve his goal have yet to be determined, but as Jacob told Newsweek, “Tyreek realizes that he has a strong voice and that he can draw the necessary attention to get this done.” “Tyreek’s personal case needs to be resolved before we can determine how best to address the national issue,” he added.
