Dolphins’ Jakeem Grant: Looks healthy in spring practices
Jakeem Grant hauled in a deep ball from QB Tua Tagovailoa at June minicamp.Grant appears to have returned healthy for Miami’s offseason program after suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 16 last year. He’s missed multiple games in three straight seasons, and he’ll now face a tougher path to earning snaps on offense, with the Miami Dolphins adding Will Fuller (suspension) and No. 6 overall pick Jaylen Waddle to a receiving corps that also includes Grant, DeVante Parker, Preston Williams (foot), Albert Wilson and Lynn Bowden. The Dolphins can clear up around $4 million in cap space if they trade or release Grant, but his value on special teams (five career returns TDs) should keep him on track for a roster spot, even if he’s buried on the depth chart at WR.

Dolphins’ Jakeem Grant: Not playing Week 17
Jakeem Grant (ankle) is inactive for Sunday’s game against the Bills.After suffering a high-ankle sprain in last week’s win over the Raiders, Grant never looked like a strong bet to suit up for the regular-season finale, but he at least made it a tough decision for the Miami Dolphins to make him inactive by turning in limited practices Thursday and Friday. Ultimately, Grant didn’t demonstrate enough progress to get the green light from the training staff, but the Dolphins will hope to have him back for a potential wild-card game next weekend, should Miami earns its way into the postseason. Grant concludes the regular season with 36 receptions for 373 yards and a touchdown over his 14 appearances.

Dolphins’ Jakeem Grant: Questionable for Week 17
Jakeem Grant (ankle) will be listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Bills, Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post reports.Along with Grant, DeVante Parker (hamstring) is also taking a questionable designation into the weekend, with resolution on the receivers’ statuses likely to come when Miami releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday’s 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Per Schad, Grant “was not moving as well” as Parker during the media-access portion of Friday’s practice, suggesting the latter as a better chance at playing Week 17 than the former. Mack Hollins, Isaiah Ford and Lynn Bowden would be candidates for added snaps this weekend if either or both Grant and Parker are unavailable.

According to Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com, Grant was spotted catching passes during individual drills Thursday, suggesting he was able to move around decently well.

Dolphins’ Jakeem Grant: Back at practice
Jakeem Grant (ankle) is participating in Thursday’s practice, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.Grant missed Wednesday’s session due to his high-ankle sprain, so it would represent tangible progress if he’s even to handle even limited reps Thursday. The slot man still appears quite iffy for Sunday’s game against the Bills, but the Miami Dolphins haven’t ruled him out.

Dolphins’ Jakeem Grant: Suffers high-ankle sprain
Jakeem Grant sustained a high-ankle sprain during Saturday’s 26-25 win over the Raiders and is expected to miss Week 17, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.The timing of Grant’s injury is inopportune for the Miami Dolphins. With DeVante Parker (hamstring) coming off back-to-back absences and Preston Williams (foot) still on IR, the team could be without its top three wideouts heading into a Week 17 road game against the Bills. Rapoport called Grant a candidate for IR and said that he’ll miss the regular-season finale, but the Dolphins themselves haven’t yet officially ruled the 28-year-old out.
