The Miami Dolphins have promoted safety Sheldrick Redwine from the practice squad as a COVID-19 replacement, per the team.
Per 2021 NFL rules, an activation to the roster as a COVID-19 replacement does not count as one of a player’s two allotted practice squad elevations per season. Redwine’s promotion comes as the team recently placed star rookie Jevon Holland on the reserve/COVID-19 list and has fellow starter Brandon Jones uncertain to suit up on Sunday due to ankle and elbow injuries. Jones was limited in Wednesday’s practice.
Redwine was selected in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns.
