The Dolphins released Ferguson on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old long snapped appeared in just five regular-season games for Miami last season due to an illness that landed him on the reserve/NFI list. Ferguson has 72 career games of experience under his belt and will look to latch on elsewhere.

Ferguson (illness) will remain on the reserve/non-football injury list.

EDGE Analysis

The Dolphins' 21-day window to activate Ferguson off the NFI list has now expired, thus ending his season. He will now focus on getting healthy for the 2025 campaign.

Ferguson (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the 49ers, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ferguson's absence in Week 16 comes as no surprise, as the 27-year-old was unable to practice all week due to an illness. He'll remain on the Dolphins' reserve/non-football illness list, paving the way for Jake McQuaide to serve as Miami's top long snapper again Sunday.

Ferguson (personal) was designated to return from the reserve/non-football illness list Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

The Dolphins signed long snapper Matt Overton to the practice squad Saturday, and he has been elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts.

The Dolphins activated Ferguson (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Ferguson has been cleared to rejoin the active roster and return to practice. He'll face competition from Rex Sunahara for long-snapper reps.
