Placed on COVID list Shaheen has been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Impact Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Shaheen will be out at least 10 days under NFL protocols and thus won't be available for the Dolphins' regular-season opener. Mike Gesicki, Durham Smythe, Hunter Long and Cethan Carter are in line to handle the team's Week 1 tight end duties.

Dealing with multiple injuries Shaheen has missed the last couple of practices with a hamstring and knee issue and will remain out for the preseason finale, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Shaheen's status for the regular season is uncertain at this point. The only good news for the Dolphins is that the MRI on his knee was negative, so it doesn't look like the injury is season ending. Shaheen is in place for a backup role in Miami's revamped offense. He caught 12 passes for a career-high 150 yards and three scores last season.

Returns from COVID list Shaheen (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.

Impact Shaheen landed on the COVID list over the weekend as an apparent close contact, and he's since cleared the health and safety protocols. The 26-year-old will continue to compete for a roster spot now that he can practice.

Placed on COVID list Shaheen was placed on the COVID-19 list Sunday.

Impact Shaheen is an apparent close contact after co-offensive coordinator and tight ends coach George Godsey tested positive for the virus, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. If the tight end continues to test negative for COVID-19, he could return after a relatively brief absence. However, any time away from the team could impact his ability to secure a spot on the 53-man roster in camp.

Gesicki, 2 other Dolphins TEs go on COVID-19 reserve list

Fighting for roster spot Shaheen may need a strong showing in training camp to secure a roster spot following the selection of third-rounder Hunter Long in the 2021 NFL Draft, Safid Deen of the South Flori...

Impact Shaheen was already likely looking at a depth role behind Mike Gesicki and Durham Smythe, and Long is essentially guaranteed to make the roster based on the draft capital invested in him. Shaheen thus appears to be No. 4 on the depth chart if everyone stays healthy. If the Dolphins opt to keep a fourth tight end, Shaheen would face competition in camp from Cethan Carter, who inked a three-year deal in March.

JULY 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ends 2020 with one catch Shaheen caught one of three targets for 22 yards during Week 17's 56-26 loss to the Bills.

Impact Shaheen wrapped his 2020 campaign with three straight one-catch games. In his inaugural season in Miami, the former Chicago tight end appeared in 16 contests, hauling in 12 of 22 targets for 150 yards and three touchdowns. It was the first full 16-game season of Shaheen's career. The 26-year-old's reliable play led to the Dolphins rewarding him with a two-year contract extension worth up to $7.85 million back in October, setting him up to return in a key depth role behind Mike Gesicki come 2021.

JANUARY 6, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Held to one catch again Shaheen secured his only target for three yards during Saturday's 26-25 win over the Raiders.

Impact Shaheen found himself back in a reserve role with the return of Mike Gesicki, and he's now logged two straight games with just one catch. Though the Dolphins' scheme often looks to tight ends in the red zone, Shaheen's lack of consistency will keep him off the fantasy radar Week 17 in Buffalo.

DECEMBER 27, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Just one catch without Gesicki Shaheen caught one of two targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 22-12 win over the Patriots.

Impact Though Shaheen played 59 percent of offensive snaps with Mike Gesicki (shoulder) sidelined, it was Durham Smythe (five catches for 40 yards) who inherited most of the vacated looks. Both Shaneen and Smythe could handle expanded roles again if Gesicki misses Saturday's upcoming tilt against the Raiders.

DECEMBER 21, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

May see more work sans Gesicki Shaheen and Durham Smythe are likely to have expanded roles in the Dolphins' game plan Sunday against the Patriots with top tight end Mike Gesicki (shoulder) inactive for the conte...

Impact Both Shaheen and Smythe have fallen anywhere in between playing 35 and 60 of the offensive snaps in each the Dolphins' past three games, so the team will likely take a timeshare approach to tight end rather than either being a one-to-one replacement for Gesicki. That said, Shaheen probably profiles as the more interesting fantasy flier of the two, given the bigger-play ability he's shown as a pass catcher. He's averaging 10.3 yards per reception per his career, compared to Smythe's 8.8 YPC mark.

DECEMBER 20, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Scores on only grab Shaheen hauled in one of two targets for seven yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 20-3 win over the Jets.

Impact Shaheen scored out of the shotgun early in the fourth quarter, but he was utilized as the No. 3 tight end behind Mike Gesicki and Durham Smythe, both of whom had more targets and offensive snaps. It's encouraging to see Shaheen's development continue in Miami, but his usage isn't yet enough to put him on the fantasy radar.

Held catchless in win Shaheen failed to haul in his only target in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Shaheen finished third among Dolphins tight ends with a 39 percent snap share, and for the fifth time this season, he failed to secure a reception. It's worth noting that his one target was on Arizona's two-yard line, and he could get more looks this week against the Chargers if Durham Smythe (concussion) is ruled out.

NOVEMBER 10, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Held without a catch Shaheen failed to haul in his only target during Sunday's 28-17 win over the Rams.

Impact Shaheen dealt with a shoulder issue leading up to Sunday's game, which may have played a part in his being held off the stat sheet. It's also worth noting that rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa only passed for 93 yards, during a contest dominated by Miami's defense and special-teams units. In any case, Shaheen normally only handles around 33 percent of offensive snaps, making him difficult to trust for fantasy purposes.

NOVEMBER 3, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared for Week 8 Shaheen (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Rams, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

Impact Despite being a limited participant in practices Wednesday through Friday coming off a Week 7 bye, Shaheen was able to demonstrate enough progress in his recovery from the shoulder issue for the Dolphins to sign off on him playing. He'll fill his normal role as Miami's top blocking tight end, while also offering rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa a sizable target in the red zone (6-foot-7, 257 pounds).
