Walford (personal) won't travel with the team for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walford is tending to a family illness, according to Salguero. The 28-year-old tight end was mainly deployed in a run-blocking role, as he only caught four passes for 57 yards over seven games this year.

Walford (coach's decision) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.

EDGE Analysis

Walford has suited up in the last three games for the Dolphins, logging 23 total snaps and making one catch for eight yards. In his stead, tight end duties will be handled by Mike Gesicki, Durham Smythe and Chandler Cox.

Walford (leg) signed with the Dolphins on Wednesday, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walford signed with the Dolphins in March and stuck with the time through the entire offseason and preseason, but he was cut with an injury settlement in August. The 28-year-old is healthy now, however, and he'll add depth to the Dolphins tight-end corps.

The Dolphins released Walford (leg) with an injury settlement Tuesday, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walford appears to be nursing an undisclosed right leg injury and is sporting a walking boot. The fourth-year pro was an odd man out in Miami's crowded tight end room, and will look for an opportunity elsewhere in the league when back to full health.

Walford (undisclosed) brought in both of his targets for 34 yards in Thursday's preseason contest against the Falcons.

EDGE Analysis

Walford appears to have fully recovered from the undisclosed injury that kept him from practicing recently, and performed when called upon in Miami's preseason opener. The fourth-year tight end could see some work as a pass catcher in 2019, but is unlikely to operate in anything more than a depth capacity.

Walford (undisclosed) did not practice Wednesday, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The specifics of Walford's injury remain undisclosed, but it reportedly isn't considered to be serious. The 2015 third-round pick will resume competing for a depth role when he gets healthy.

Walford signed a contract with the Dolphins on Wednesday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walford played two offensive snaps with the Jets last season, both of which came during a Week 17 contest against the Patriots. He'll spend the offseason working to distinguish himself in a crowded Dolphins' tight end room which includes Mike Gesicki, Nick O'Leary, Dwayne Allen and Durham Smythe.

Walford played two offensive snaps in 2018.

EDGE Analysis

Walford's only game of the season came in Week 17 versus the Patriots, in which he did not register an offensive statistic. The 27-year-old had a brief stint with the Colts during the regular season, but was not active for a single game with the team and was ultimately waived by Indianapolis. The fourth-year pro then signed with the Jets on Dec. 27. Walford previously led Gang Green with seven receptions and 92 yards during the preseason, and will now spend the offseason competing for a depth role behind Chris Herndon and Jordan Leggett.

Walford signed a contract with the Jets on Thursday,

EDGE Analysis

Walford previously spent time with the Jets this offseason, when he led the team with seven receptions and 92 yards through all four preseason games. The fourth-year pro was waived by the Colts on Dec. 7 after having spent nine days with the team, and now rejoins New York's squad as a depth piece behind Chris Herndon and Jordan Leggett.

The Colts waived Walford on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Walford was waived to make room for rookie wideout Daurice Fountain on the 53-man roster. The fourth-year tight end was signed by the Colts as a free agent Nov. 28, but was not active for a single game with the team. Walford will now be subjected to league waivers, and be free to search for a depth role if he goes unclaimed.
