Nick Westbrook-Ikhine's Season in Jeopardy Amidst Uncertainty

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine's season is in jeopardy as he struggles to replicate his past success. After catching 32 passes for 497 yards and nine touchdowns in Tennessee last season, Westbrook-Ikhine has only managed 11 catches for 89 yards and no touchdowns this year.

He attributes his lack of production to his own performance, stating, "It's been a little frustrating but [this season] is more just on myself. I feel I expect more of myself." Westbrook-Ikhine has not been targeted in the last three games and has been utilized primarily in run-blocking, where he ranks as Miami's fourth-best run blocker.

He has played between 13 and 45 snaps in each game since Tyreek Hill’s injury in Week 4. His performance is critical for the Dolphins, as exceeding 50 snaps could result in the loss of a fourth-round compensatory pick in the upcoming draft.

Westbrook-Ikhine signed a two-year, $6.5 million contract with the Dolphins, and with no guaranteed salary for 2026, his future with the team remains uncertain. Injuries have also been a concern for the Dolphins, with several players limited in practice ahead of their upcoming game.
