Overview

• Germain Ifedi was placed on injured reserve Thursday and is expected to miss the entire 2025 season unless the Dolphins negotiate an injury settlement.
• Miami signed free-agent tackle Yodny Cajuste to a veteran-minimum deal to offset Ifedi’s loss and bolster preseason depth.
• Ifedi’s absence leaves gaps at both tackle positions and heightens concerns about guard depth as Austin Jackson continues rehabbing a separate lower-body setback.
• Cajuste brings 17 career regular-season appearances with the Patriots but has not played since 2022 and will need to prove his health and consistency in training camp.
• The moves trim Miami’s cap space slightly below its previous $11.5 million as the team balances short-term roster fixes with long-term availability risks.
