Headed to IR
Grant (ankle) will be placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Grant's injury is a hit to the Dolphins' wideout depth and kick-return unit. Practice squad players Isaiah Ford, Andy Jones and T.J. Rahming are internal options to fill Grant's roster spot. In 10 games this season, Grant caught 19 of his 33 targets for 164 yards and brought back 23 kickoffs for 578 yards -- good for fourth in the NFL -- and a touchdown.

May have high ankle sprain
Grant is believed to be dealing with a high ankle sprain, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: After being carted to the locker room in the first quarter Sunday against the Browns, Grant was seen with a walking boot on his right foot after the 41-24 loss. Per Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald, Grant didn't break any bones, but a diagnosis of a high ankle sprain indicates a multi-week absence is in his future. Look for the Dolphins to clarify Grant's health over the next few days.

Wearing walking boot
Grant (ankle) was spotted with a walking boot on his right foot following Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Browns, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Grant was forced out of Sunday's loss to the Browns during the first quarter, and he was unable to retake the field. The depth wideout and return specialist has avoided sustaining any broken bones, according to Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald, but a timetable for his recovery remains uncertain at this time. Allen Hurns stands to play an increased role in Miami's receiving corps as long as Grant is unable to play.

Won't return Sunday
Grant (ankle) is ruled out to return against the Browns on Sunday, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Grant suffered an ankle injury during the first quarter of Sunday's contest. In his stead, expect Allen Hurns to serve as the No. 3 receiver behind DeVante Parker and Albert Wilson. Grant's absence also is a notable blow to Miami's special teams, as he normally handles both punt and kick return duties.

Exits game with ankle injury
Grant is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Browns due to an ankle injury, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Grant limped off the field under his own power, but he had to be carted to the locker room from the sideline. As long as Grant is unable to retake the field, Marcus Sherels will be a candidate to field kick and punt returns.

Strikes twice in loss
Grant caught all three of his targets for 32 yards and added a seven-yard touchdown run during Sunday's 37-20 loss to Buffalo. He also returned five kickoffs for 198 yards and a touchdown.
Analysis: The game was getting out of hand late in the first half when Grant took a kickoff from a yard deep in the end zone and cut across the field to turn up the far sideline for a 101-yard touchdown, his first return score of the season. Later, in the opening minute of the fourth quarter, he took a pitch from a wildcat formation and swept out to the right untouched for a seven-yard touchdown, his first offensive score of the season. The fact that Grant can get from Point A to Point B in a hurry is…read more

Barely involved in win
Grant caught both targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 16-12 win over the Colts.
Analysis: Grant appeared to have a shot at an expanded role in Miami's offense with Preston Williams (knee) on injured reserve, but he concluded Sunday's win with another mundane receiving line. In leagues that don't reward fantasy points for return yards, Grant doesn't warrant roster consideration.

Could see increased role
Grant is a candidate to play an increased role in Miami's aerial attack with Preston Williams (knee) out for the season, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Grant appears set to compete with Allen Hurns for the No. 3 wide receiver role in Miami going forward. DeVante Parker, Albert Wilson and Mike Gesicki likely will serve as the top options in Miami's passing game, but Grant's big-play ability could make him an intriguing stash in the event that he receives a larger target share down the stretch.

Hauls in two passes
Grant caught two of three targets for 32 yards during Monday's 27-14 loss to Pittsburgh.
Analysis: Grant helped keep the Dolphins alive early in the fourth quarter when, down by 10 and facing a third and long, he found a spot along the sideline and snagged a 15-yard pass from a scrambling Ryan Fitzpatrick for the first down. As Miami's luck would have it, the team lost a fumble on the very next play. Grant got a nice contract in the offseason and while a big part of his value is as a returner, the Dolphins have not found many ways to get him the ball in an otherwise feeble offense. Monday's…read more

Minimal involvement in loss
Grant was not targeted during Sunday's loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Grant played seven snaps on offense. He also played seven snaps on special teams but didn't attempt either a kick or punt return. At this point in time, Grant doesn't appear to be operating as more than a depth receiver in Miami's offense.

Listed as active Sunday
Grant (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday's game against the Bills.
Analysis: Grant's return should provide the Dolphins return game with a nice boost, but with DeVante Parker, Preston Williams and Albert Wilson also in the team's wide receiver mix, Grant isn't a high-percentage fantasy play at this stage of the season.

Draws questionable tag
Grant (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Analysis: Grant was a limited participant in practice all week. The speedy wideout missed Week 6 versus the Redskins, and he isn't a lock to suit up for Sunday's divisional tilt. If Grant were forced to miss any more time, Kenyan Drake would serve as Miami's top kick returner while Preston Williams would take back punts.

Limited in practice again
Grant (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Grant sat out Week 6 against the Redskins despite practicing in a limited fashion all week, and he's yet to take a tangible step forward in his recovery. His availability for Sunday's tilt against the Bills will likely be determined based on what he's able to do in Friday's practice. If Grant is able to suit up, he'll serve as Miami's top kick and punt returner.

Starts week limited
Grant (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Grant managed a trio of limited practices last week, but he was ultimately inactive Sunday versus the Redskins. The speedy wideout could need to upgrade to a full practice participant Thursday and/or Friday in order to suit up Week 7.

Won't play Sunday
Grant (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against Washington.
Analysis: With Grant out, Albert Wilson (in his first action since Week 1) is a candidate to serve as the Dolphins' No. 3 option at wide receiver in Week 6, working alongside DeVante Parker and Preston Williams.

Expected to sit out Sunday
Grant (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Redskins, isn't expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Rapoport notes that the Dolphins are optimistic Grant will be ready to go Week 7 versus the Bills, so the wideout's hamstring injury apparently isn't being viewed as a long-term concern. With Grant on track to sit out Sunday, however, Miami will likely turn to either Albert Wilson -- who is questionable with a calf injury -- or Allen Hurns as its main No. 3 option at receiver after DeVante Parker and Preston Williams.

Questionable for Sunday
Grant (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest versus the Redskins, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: The Dolphins won't make a final decision on Grant's availability until about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reported Thursday that he's unlikely to play this weekend. Meanwhile, fellow wide receiver Albert Wilson (calf/hip) also is questionable, leaving DeVante Parker and Preston Williams as the team's top healthy options at the position right now.

Unlikely for Week 6
Grant (hamstring) is not expected to suit up Sunday against the Redskins, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Grant has been limited in practice for two consecutive days, but he nonetheless doesn't appear ready to retake the field. As long as Grant is unable to go, the Dolphins will need to find another option to handle kick and punt returns.

Limited in practice
Grant (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Grant wasn't able to practice to begin the week, so his limited participation Wednesday is a positive step. He'll have two more opportunities to upgrade to full participation ahead of Sunday's tilt with Washington. With Albert Wilson (hip/calf) having yet to shake off his own injury, Grant could conceivably serve as the No. 3 wideout in Miami's offense if healthy.

Can't practice Monday
Grant (hamstring) did not practice Monday, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: The Dolphins are coming off their bye, but Grant hasn't yet managed to recover from his hamstring injury. The speedy wideout will have multiple opportunities to resume practicing ahead of Sunday's tilt against the Redskins, though it remains to be seen whether he'll get healthy enough to suit up. With fellow slot receiver Albert Wilson (hip/calf) making progress towards a return, it's possible that Grant could be relegated to a reserve role even if healthy.

Not able to practice
Grant (hamstring) isn't practicing Wednesday, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Grant was removed from Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Chargers in the fourth quarter, finishing with one catch for six yards on 22 offensive snaps. His role as the No. 3 receiver won't be safe even if he returns to health in short order, as fellow slot man Albert Wilson (hip/calf) seems to be inching toward a game appearance. Grant's role on kick and punt returns might be tougher for Miami to fill.

Leaves game with injury
Grant is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chargers due to a hamstring injury.
Analysis: Grant left the field late in the fourth quarter, so even if his injury isn't particularly severe, he's a long shot to retake the field. As long as Grant is unable to go, the Dolphins will have to rely on another player to handle kick and punt returns.

Minimal impact Week 3
Grant caught four of seven targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 31-6 loss to the Cowboys. He also logged one carry for four yards.
Analysis: Grant additionally served as Miami's top return man, but he wasn't able to bring a spark to the team's offense during any phase of the game. The 2016 sixth-round pick hasn't yet managed to break off a big play this season, but it appears as though the Dolphins intend to continue giving him notable weekly touches.

Seven targets in loss
Grant caught three of seven targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 43-0 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: Grant also rushed once for a loss of four yards and served as the Dolphins' top return man. He tied DeVante Parker to lead the team in targets Week 2. Given the speedy wideout's penchant for big plays, it's conceivable that Grant could make his way to fantasy relevance if he's able to continue receiving a notable target volume.

No impact in loss
Grant brought in one of three targets for a loss of three yards during Sunday's 59-10 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Grant was listed as one of Miami's starting receivers Week 1 but was ultimately overshadowed by undrafted rookie Preston Williams, who caught three passes for 24 yards and a touchdown. While Grant is guaranteed to retain his role as a gadget player and kick returner, it wouldn't be surprising if Williams were to usurp him as the No. 3 receiver in Miami in the near future.

Primed for starting gig
Grant is listed as one of Miami's three starting wide receivers, Alain Poupart of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Grant appears to be a huge benefactor of Kenny Stills being traded to the Texans, as he now slots into the starting lineup alongside DeVante Parker and Albert Wilson (hip). The 2016 sixth-round pick has done most of his damage as a return man in his last three seasons with the Dolphins, and will now work to translate his big-play talent into a regular starting role. Undrafted rookie Preston Williams could conceivably push Grant for snaps as the season progresses, but it appears that the No. 3…read more

Held out of preseason finale
Grant didn't play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Saints.
Analysis: Grant dealt with a hamstring injury earlier in August, but his absence Thursday likely was just a matter of the Dolphins holding out key players. The 26-year-old wide receiver and return specialist signed a four-year extension last week, while teammate Kenny Stills (leg) has been the subject of trade rumors. Grant currently profiles as Miami's fourth or fifth option at wide receiver for Week 1 against the Ravens.

Reaches four-year extension
Grant (hamstring) agreed Tuesday with the Dolphins on a four-year extension, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Grant was heading into the final year of his rookie contract, but he'll now stick around with Miami through the 2023 campaign. The 26-year-old caught 21 of 34 targets for 268 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games before suffering an Achilles injury in November. He also made an impact in the return game, taking back a kick and a punt for a touchdown. Grant is dealing with a hamstring injury, but he has since returned to practice and could make his preseason debut Thursday versus the Jaguars.

Returns from hammy injury
Grant (hamstring) returned to practice Monday, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Looking to rebound from last year's season-ending Achilles injury, Grant was dealt a setback early in training camp in the form of a hamstring issue. He missed the first two weeks of the preseason but may have a shot to make it back for Thursday's exhibition against the Jaguars. With Allen Hurns and Preston Williams now battling for roles, Grant could find himself fifth or sixth on the depth chart at wide receiver, though he still figures to reign supreme in the return game.

Remains sidelined
Grant (hamstring) was held out of practice Wednesday, Adam Beasley of The Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Grant injured his hamstring two weeks ago and has yet to return to practice. While the issue was initially thought to be minor, his continued absence is cause for some concern. He's expected to serve as the team's kick returner and a depth receiver, but his injury may open the door for Preston Williams, Isaiah Ford, or Brice Butler to make the final roster.

Still out Saturday
Grant (undisclosed) did not practice Saturday, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Grant hasn't been able to practice since suffering a minor injury Wednesday, but considering the lack of information regarding the severity, it's perhaps safe to assume the speedy wideout will be just fine. Brice Butler and Isaiah Ford have been the main duo to benefit from Grant's absence, with the latter earning strong reviews following the team's scrimmage Saturday, but neither figures to threaten the 26-year-old's role as a gadget receiver extraordinaire.

Nursing minor injury
Grant left Wednesday's practice early due to an undisclosed injury before returning to field punts without a helmet, Chris Perkins of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Grant's injury is not considered serious, but it was severe enough to cause his exit from practice for a short period of time. The 26-year-old pass catcher is entering his fourth season with the Dolphins and currently projects as their No. 5 receiver.

Returns from injury
Grant (Achilles) is practicing Thursday, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Grant reportedly looks sharp in 1-on-1 drills, displaying his usual speed and agility. He suffered a season-ending Achilles' injury Nov. 11, declining to provide details apart from denying that he ruptured the tendon. Grant has served as the fourth/fifth receiver and return specialist throughout most of his career, but he could challenge for a top-three WR role this summer if either Albert Wilson (hip), Kenny Stills or DeVante Parker disappoints.

Grant (Achilles) said Tuesday that he's "over the mental hump" in his rehab process, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Analysis: Grant hasn't commented on the exact nature of his injury, merely denying that it was an Achilles tear. Whatever the case, he was a limited participant in Miami's offseason program and may be eased into practices during training camp. Despite the injury limiting him to 10 games, Grant enjoyed his best season to date in 2018, catching 21 of 34 targets for 268 yards and two scores while adding a kick-return touchdown and a punt-return score.

Limited to start OTAs
Grant (Achilles) was a limited participant in the first day of OTAs on Tuesday, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Grant has been rehabbing from a season-ending Achilles injury since he underwent surgery back in November, but it looks like the speedster is close to returning to full health. Given that it's early in the offseason, the Dolphins don't really have a reason to rush Grant back into action, especially since his primary role will likely be in the return game.

Still rehabbing Achilles injury
Grant (Achilles) is still working his way back to full strength, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Grant suffered the season-ending injury Nov. 11 and had surgery a week later, but he denied early reports that the issue was an Achilles rupture. Whatever the case, he's still in the rehab process five months later, presumably hoping to be ready for the start of training camp in late July. The 26-year-old figures to have a role in the return game and could even challenge DeVante Parker for a regular spot in three-wide sets.

Denies Achilles rupture
Grant revealed Friday that his season-ending injury wasn't a ruptured Achilles, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports. "Just a minor surgery," Grant said. "Not a rupture. Nothing big. I'll be back. No time date. I'm getting better each and every day."
Analysis: Grant suffered the injury Nov. 11, undergoing surgery Nov. 19 and landing on injured reserve Nov. 28. While he didn't elaborate on the exact nature of the problem, he did acknowledge that it may prevent him for taking part in OTAs. Grant is hopeful to be ready for the start of training camp, yet acknowledged it's not quite a sure thing.

Hopes to be ready for camp
Grant (Achilles) isn't sure if he'll be ready for OTAs, but he does expect to be on the field at the start of training camp, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Given that he ruptured his Achilles' tendon Nov. 11, it's far from a sure thing Grant is actually ready for team drills at the start of camp. He also faces a greater challenge than most players coming back from the same injury, as the 5-foot-7, 170-pound wide receiver is entirely reliant on his excellent speed and agility. Grant won't have much value to the Dolphins if he loses a step, so the team figures take a cautious approach ahead of what's widely being viewed as a rebuilding season. The…read more

Shifts to IR
The Dolphins placed Grant (Achilles) on injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: Grant suffered an Achilles injury in the Nov. 11 loss to the Packers that ultimately required surgery, but the Dolphins surprisingly decided to keep him on the 53-man roster for more than two weeks before finally shifting him to IR. Miami will use the open spot on fellow wideout Isaiah Ford, a 2017 seventh-round pick of the club who should fortify the Dolphins' depth at the position with Grant and Albert Wilson (hip) done for the season and Danny Amendola (knee) and DeVante Parker (shoulder)…read more

Undergoing season-ending surgery
Grant will undergo season-ending surgery Monday to address the Achilles injury he sustained in the Dolphins' Week 10 loss to the Packers, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports. The Dolphins have placed Grant on injured reserve, a league source tells Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post.
Analysis: While the loss of Grant is another hit to the injury-plagued Dolphins, the wideout at least received good news regarding his prognosis. Grant, whose injury was previously labeled as a leg issue by the team, didn't suffer a ruptured Achilles' tendon, according to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald, which will allow him to avoid a full reconstructive surgery that would have necessitated a longer recovery period. Instead, Grant will require a more minor procedure to address the injury, which…read more

Avoids major injury
Grant (leg) won't require surgery and is considered week-to-week with the expectation that he'll play again this season, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Grant's season appeared to be in jeopardy after the receiver pulled up lame while running a route during Sunday's loss to the Packers. Fortunately, it appears Grant avoided any sort of long-term injury -- including a severe aggravation of the Achilles injury he entered the game with, which many feared could be the case. With the Dolphins on bye Week 11, it's possible Grant may not even need to miss a game. Considering DeVante Parker (shoulder) can also be considered questionable for Miami's…read more

Getting an MRI
Grant (leg) is scheduled for an MRI, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Grant entered Sunday's 31-12 loss to Green Bay with a sore Achilles and was carted of the field in the third quarter with a leg injury. He was then spotted in a walking boot after the game, but coach Adam Gase is optimistic the speedy wideout didn't suffer a season-ending injury. A Week 11 bye will give Grant and the other injured Miami players -- including QB Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) and WR DeVante Parker (shoulder) -- some extra time to heal.

In walking boot
Grant (leg) exited the locker room wearing a walking boot following Sunday's loss to the Packers, Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Grant was forced out of Sunday's contest after pulling up while running a route during the third quarter. The speedster entered the game with a listed Achilles issue, and Sunday's incident might be related to that pre-existing ailment.

Carted off Sunday
Grant (leg) was carted of the field in the third quarter of the Dolphins' contest against the Packers on Sunday.
Analysis: Prior to his exit from the game, Grant -- who had been dealing with an Achilles issue -- did not haul in his only target. While it's unclear if his Sunday issue is related to that, at first glance, it looks as though the wideout's injury could be serious.

Cleared to play Week 10
Grant (Achilles) is active for Sunday's game against the Packers, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Grant has been bothered by the Achilles injury for a few weeks, but it has yet to force him to miss any game action. Though the wideout will be available Sunday, he'll likely take a backseat in the Dolphins' passing attack to the likes of Danny Amendola, Kenny Stills and DeVante Parker. Grant played one more snap than Stills did in the Week 9 win over the Jets, but it's worth noting that Stills' workload was likely limited coming off a groin injury.

Trending toward playing Week 10
Grant (Achilles), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers, is expected to play, a source told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Analysis: The Achilles injury has plagued Grant for a few weeks now, but the wideout has apparently convinced the Dolphins' training staff that the issue is something he can continue to play through after he practiced Wednesday through Friday in a limited fashion. Even so, Grant looks to be no better than the fourth option at receiver in a middling Dolphins passing attack after playing only 51 percent of the offensive snaps in the 13-6 win over the Jets in Week 9, trailing both DeVante Parker (89…read more

Week 10 status in question
Grant (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Green Bay, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Grant's practice reps were capped all week by an Achilles injury, an issue that could rear its head on the field at some point in the second half of the season. For the time being, though, he has a chance to suit up Sunday afternoon, which will be revealed approximately 90 minutes before the 4:25 PM ET kickoff. If he's deemed available to the Dolphins offense, Grant will be a fringe option in the passing game behind fellow wideouts DeVante Parker, Kenny Stills and Danny Amendola.

Limited for second straight day
Grant (Achilles) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Grant's reps were also limited Wednesday, but the Dolphins likely wouldn't have cleared him to practice at all if there were truly any concern about his health. In any case, Grant would clear up any lingering doubt about his availability for Sunday's game against the Packers by practicing fully Friday. The wideout was held to one reception for 16 yards on two targets in the 13-6 win over the Jets in Week 9 and looks to be trending down with Kenny Stills (groin) nearing full health and DeVante…read more

Dealing with sore Achilles
Grant (Achilles) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Grant may have picked up the injury during Sunday's 13-6 win over the Jets, but it probably wasn't as big of a factor as the return of Kenny Stills (groin). With DeVante Parker and Danny Amendola also primed for key roles, Grant lines up as the likely No. 4 receiver for Sunday's game at Green Bay, though he could bump up to No. 3 if Stills runs into issues with the groin injury. There hasn't been any indication Grant's Achilles' tendon injury is a major concern.

Logs one catch in win
Grant brought in one of two targets for 16 yards during Sunday's 13-6 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Grant was held to one catch in what was a quiet day for Miami's passing attack, with quarterback Brock Osweiler having been held to only 139 yards without a touchdown. Though Grant's big-play ability always remains a factor, the Dolphins' passing game has not been consistent enough in recent weeks to enable fantasy relevance. The third-year pro will look to showcase his elite speed and bounce back against the Packers on Sunday.
