Aikens deal with the Titans fell through and he remains a free agent, reports.

EDGE Analysis

It seemed as if Aikens' signing with the Titans was imminent, but after taking his physical the team decided to head in a different direction. The veteran safety will now look for a different team to call home after spending the past six seasons with the Dolphins.

Aikens (ankle) inked a contract with the Titans on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Last time on the field, Aikens left the final game of the 2019 regular season with an injury, but as evidenced by this news, he's back healthy to crack a new NFL roster. In 15 games with the Dolphins last season, the 29-year-old supplied 21 tackles (15 solo) and one pass breakup across 15 games.

Aikens is questionable to return to Sunday's tilt against the Patriots due to an ankle injury, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's not clear how Aikens sustained the injury, but he was forced to leave Sunday's contest in the fourth quarter. If he's unable to retake the field, Aikens will finish the 2019 season with 22 tackles (15 solo) and one defended pass across 15 contests.

Coach Brian Flores said Aikens didn't travel with the team for Sunday's game against the Giants due to a violation of team ruled, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Aikens has played in all 13 games this season but won't be available for Sunday's game in New York. The 28-year-old has played only 13 offensive snaps since the Week 5 bye, so his absence should only impact Miami's special teams.

Aikens (hip) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

Aikens appears to have shed the hip issue that limited him in Wednesday's practice. He's on track for his usual role as a special-teams contributor versus the Colts on Sunday.

Aikens is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets with a hip injury.

EDGE Analysis

Aikens played only nine snaps on special teams in last week's loss to the Steelers but apparently sustained the hip injury during the contest. The 28-year-old was a limited practice participant all week and may end up being a game-time decision.

Aikens (hand) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game at Buffalo, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Aikens sustained the hand injury Week 16 against the Jaguars, but was able to practice fully Friday to help avoid the questionable tag. The 27-year-old has played a handful of defensive snaps in each of the last three games and should see a similar workload in the season finale.

Aikens will sign a two-year extension with the Dolphins, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Aikens provides the Dolphins with some veteran depth in the secondary as he has spent his entire four-year career in Miami. In 16 games last season, Aikens recorded nine tackles (six solo) and one forced fumble.
