The 2026 Miami Dolphins are going to look vastly different from the 2025 version of the team. The team is in a reset and rebuild mode, looking to reposition the team for sustained future success as they come out of the last attempt to build a team that can win a playoff game for the first time since 2000.
One of the biggest areas of transition for the Dolphins this year is in the wide receiver group. The team has moved on from Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle and are turning toward younger players and journeyman veterans to man the group as the salary cap comes back into order. One of those journeymen veterans is Terrace Marshall, Jr., who joins the Dolphins this year and becomes the focus of our latest 90-in-90 player breakdown this afternoon.

Marshall signed a one-year contract with the Eagles, but was waived at the end of the preseason as part of the final roster cuts. He then re-signed to the team’s practice squad before being released in November. He then returned to the practice squad in December, ending the season there.
For his career, he has 67 receptions for 808 yards and a touchdown.
Wide receiver signings: Tutu Atwell, Donaven McCulley (UDFA), Terrace Marshall, Jr., Jalen Reagor, Jalen Tolbert
Released: Tyreek Hill
Trade: Jaylen Waddle to Broncos
Drafted: Caleb Douglas (3rd round), Chris Bell (3rd round), Kevin Coleman, Jr. (5th round)
The Dolphins are taking a flyer on Marshall, looking for a player who can provide depth on the roster and maybe finally live up to a second-round pick’s potential. He is deep on the depth chart right now, likely behind Malik Washington, Tutu Atwell, Jalen Tolbert, Tahj Washington, Theo Wease, and the three drafted players (Caleb Douglas, Chris Bell, and Kevin Coleman, Jr.). Add in the recently signed Jalen Reagor, and Marshall may be playing for a practice squad at most.
A strong training camp and preseason could open a roster spot for him, but it will be an uphill battle for Marshall.
