Eric Fisher
34-Year-Old
Free Agent
Questionable
Injury Calf
Est. Return 2/16/2025
Signed a one-year contract with the Dolphins in December of 2022.
Hits IR
The Dolphins placed Fisher (calf) on injured reserve Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Fisher signed with Miami in early December to help fill in at right tackle after third-year offensive lineman Austin Jackson (ankle) was placed on IR. However, the No. 1 overall pick from the 2013 NFL Draft has now missed the last two games due to a calf injury, which will now land him on IR as well. Should the team wind up making the playoffs, Fisher will not be eligible to return until the Super Bowl at the earliest. As a result, the Dolphins also claimed veteran offensive lineman Geron Christian off waivers in a corresponding move Thursday, though Brandon Shell will likely continue to start at right tackle moving forward.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Possible Smith replacement
Jon Machota of The Athletic views Fisher as the top option available if Dallas opts to sign a left tackle in free agency to replace the recently injured Tryon Smith.
ANALYSIS
The Cowboys have a few options at their disposal in the wake of Smith's knee injury, as they could try to promote an internal replacement, wait to see who shakes free as other teams cut their rosters down or try to swing a trade. Besides those options, a simpler move could be to use the team's ample cap space on a veteran free agent, and Machota believes Fisher would top the list of options should Dallas choose to go down that path.
