Fast Facts: Ben Sims Dolphins add a physical tight end.
5 DAYS AGO • MIAMIDOLPHINS.COM
Dolphins sign Sims The Miami Dolphins announced today that they have signed tight end Ben Sims.
MARCH 16 • MIAMIDOLPHINS.COM
Gets one-year deal with Miami Sims and the Dolphins agreed to terms Wednesday on a one-year contract, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact Sims was on the Packers' active roster at the start of the 2025 campaign. He was waived by Green Bay in late October but opted to stay in the NFC North and signed with Minnesota, and he finished with three catches (on six targets) for 30 yards across eight regular-season games for the Vikings. Sims currently projects to serve as the Dolphins' TE2 behind Greg Dulcich, with the former likely to also contribute on special teams.
MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE
Plays 11 games in 2025 Sims caught three passes for 30 yards across 11 games during the 2025 campaign.
Impact Sims began the season with the Packers but was let go in October and subsequently claimed off waivers by the Vikings. The 25-year-old contributed on both offense and special teams in Minnesota and is set to be a restricted free agent this offseason.

Gets first Vikings reception Sims had one reception for nine yards on his only target in Sunday's win over Washington.
Impact It was surprising to see Sims get a target as he'd played just ten snaps on offense since joining the Vikings in October. However, the Vikings used plenty of three-tight-end sets in the win. Sims isn't likely to get more than a few targets the rest of the season unless injuries strike T.J. Hockenson and Josh Oliver, however.
DECEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Healthy scratch Sunday Sims (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions.
Impact The tight end was claimed off waivers by the Vikings on Monday and appeared to have a chance to play with Josh Oliver dealing with a foot injury. Oliver is also inactive, but the Vikings are riding with T.J. Hockenson, Ben Yurosek and Nick Vannett for Sunday's contest. Vannett was elevated from the practice squad Saturday.
NOVEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Staying in NFC North with Minnesota The Vikings claimed Sims off waivers from the Packers on Monday.
Impact Sims was waived by the Packers on Saturday, but he'll remain in the NFC North as a member of the Vikings, and his move corresponds with Carson Wentz (shoulder) being placed on injured reserve. Sims will give Minnesota added depth at tight end, and the third-year pro could have a meaningful role behind T.J. Hockenson and Ben Yurosek for this Sunday's game against the Lions if Josh Oliver (foot) is unable to play. Sims mostly played on special teams across his three-regular season appearances for the Packers prior to his removal from the roster.

Impact The Packers needed to clear a spot on the 53-man roster in order to activate wideout Christian Watson (knee) from the reserve/PUP list, and Sims was consequently cut. Sims had gotten into three games prior to being let go but logged only one offensive snap along with 14 snaps on special teams.

Healthy scratch Week 2 Sims (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Commanders, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Impact Sims will be a healthy scratch for a second straight game, and his next chance to make his 2025 debut is Week 3 against the Browns on Sunday, Sept. 21. Tucker Kraft, Luke Musgrave and John FitzPatrick will be the Packers' active tight ends for Thursday's clash.

Impact Sims will be in street clothes for Sunday's regular-season opener while Tucker Kraft, Luke Musgrave and John FitzPatrick serve as the Packers' active tight ends. Sims' next chance to make his 2025 regular-season debut is Thursday against the Commanders.
SEPTEMBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Remains in bit role Sims was targeted five times and caught four passes for 42 yards across 17 games in the 2024 season.
Impact Sims appeared in every regular-season game the Packers played in 2024 and served as the backup tight end while Luke Musgrave missed 10 weeks, but he was mainly limited to blocking duties. The Packers know what they have in the third-year player, which bodes well for his chances of retaining a roster spot in 2025. However, chances are Green Bay will look to bring in at least another option behind starting tight end Tucker Kraft.

Impact Sims took over the backup tight end spot with Luke Musgrave (ankle) landing on injured reserve, and he recorded his first two receptions of the season -- including a career-best 28-yard catch. Expect him to continue working as the No. 2 tight end behind Tucker Kraft until Musgrave is ready to return.
