"Eichenberg was once a prized draft pick out of Notre Dame the Dolphins traded up in the second round to acquire in 2021, but he struggled for most of his time in Miami and then missed the 2025 season with an offseason leg injury. Eichenberg was released Monday with a failed physical designation."
"He was signed back to the roster last year, but he spent the entire season on the physically-unable-to-perform list due to the ailing leg former coach Mike McDaniel once deemed 'chronic.' Eichenberg, who lost weight during the season, was uncertain he could play again when Dolphins players cleaned out their lockers at the end of the past season in early January."
"Never quite finding a permanent home at any position on the Dolphins' offensive line, Eichenberg holds the distinction of starting at all five positions in his time with Miami. He played in played 60 games with 52 starts: 14 at left tackle, 11 at left guard, eight at center, 17 at right guard and two at right tackle."
Liam Eichenberg, a second-round draft pick acquired by the Dolphins in 2021, was released Monday with a failed physical designation after five seasons. The offensive lineman struggled throughout his tenure in Miami and missed the entire 2025 season on the physically-unable-to-perform list due to a chronic leg injury. Despite being re-signed to a one-year contract, Eichenberg remained unable to play and expressed uncertainty about his future in football. During his time with the Dolphins, he started at all five offensive line positions across 60 games with 52 starts, demonstrating versatility but never establishing a permanent position. The release by new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan was expected regardless of front office changes.
