Heads to IR Swain (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Scooped up by Miami The Dolphins claimed Swain off waivers from the Broncos on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Swain opened the 2022 season on Miami's practice squad and appeared in one game for the club before Denver signed him in December. After Denver cut Swain on Tuesday, the 24-year-old will now rejoin the Dolphins for his second stint with the team. In 37 career regular-season games, Swain has recorded 42 catches for 576 yards and six touchdowns. The bulk of that production came while he was with the Seahawks in 2020 and 2021.

Becomes free agent Swain was cut by the Broncos on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Swain played in three games for the Broncos last season, catching four passes on six targets for 74 yards. The 24-year-old also suited up for the Dolphins once, but he failed to record any stats. He'll now pursue a new opportunity elsewhere.

Picks up hip injury Sunday Swain injured his hip during Sunday's 31-28 win versus the Chargers.

Impact Prior to his departure in the fourth quarter, Swain hauled in two of three targets for 54 yards and muffed a punt that was recovered by teammate Delarrin Turner-Yell. With the Broncos' season over, Swain will conclude it with four catches (on six targets) for 74 yards in four appearances between Miami and Denver.

Catches one pass in loss Swain caught one of two targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 51-14 loss to the Rams.

Impact Swain caught just one pass for the second-straight week with the Broncos. The 24-year-old played a healthy number of snaps behind Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton, as the wideout was on the field for 50 of Denver's 67 offensive snaps. With that said, Swain should not be relied upon for fantasy purposes despite his spike in snap share, as he is low on the pecking order for receiving targets on a struggling offense. The veteran receiver should remain off the fantasy radar as the Broncos visit the Chiefs in Week 17.

Finds new home Swain was signed off the Dolphins' practice by the Broncos on Tuesday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Impact Swain will reunite with former Seahawks teammate Russell Wilson, as Courtland Sutton and Kendall Hinton are both dealing with hamstring injuries. The 24-year-old suited up Sunday for Miami against the Chargers, which was his first appearance of the season. It's not yet clear if Sutton and Hinton's status for Sunday's game with the Cardinals will impact whether he is active or not for the game.

Returns to practice squad Swain reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Swain received the bump up for Sunday's game against the Chargers with River Cracraft (calf) sidelined. The 24-year-old saw seven snaps on offense but failed to tally any stats. Depending on Tyreek Hill (ankle) and Cracraft's status for Week 15 against Buffalo, Swain could receive another elevation to the active roster.

Joining active roster at Chargers Miami elevated Swain from its practice squad to the 53-man roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game at the Chargers.

Impact After working through an injury for most of the start of the season, Swain appears set to potentially make his 2022 debut Sunday night. The 2020 sixth-rounder caught 25 of 40 targets for 343 yards and four touchdowns with Seattle in 2021.

Ready to return Swain was restored to the Dolphins' practice squad from the practice squad injured list Monday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Swain has been on the injured list since Oct. 25. Now that he's healthy, he'll be able to continue working to earn an active roster sport. The third-year-pro appeared in all 17 games for the Seahawks last season, recording 25 catches for 343 yards and four touchdowns, but he has yet to earn a chance to play a game for Miami this season.

Will miss at least four games Miami placed Swain (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list Tuesday.

Impact Swain will be ineligible for elevation for at least four weeks while on the practice squad injured list due to an undisclosed injury. However, the veteran wideout has yet to appear in a game this season, so his absence shouldn't have an impact on Miami's active roster.

Seahawks 2022 roster cuts: WR Freddie Swain has been released The Seahawks have released wide receiver Freddie Swain, according to a report by Jeremy Fowler at ESPN.

Catches one pass Swain caught one of three targets for six yards in Thursday's 27-11 preseason loss to the Bears. He also returned two punts for nine yards.

Impact Swain dropped a pass on third down to end the Seahawks' first drive of the game, and he wasn't very effective through 18 offensive snaps. However, it's worth noting that Swain has been the No. 3 receiver when healthy in camp, according to Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times. Swain still needs to continue to prove himself, but he has a good chance to make the 53-man roster.

Returns to practice Swain (back) took part in practice Tuesday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact Swain was sidelined for the Seahawks' preseason opener at Pittsburgh due to a tight back, but in his return to practice he consistently served as the third wide receiver behind Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf. When healthy, it's Swain's spot to lose after he earned 914 offensive snaps over 33 games the last two seasons. The role is a modest one, though -- the 2020 sixth-rounder has totaled a 38-502-6 line on 61 career targets, and that was with Russell Wilson under center for Seattle.

To sit out Saturday Swain (back) isn't in line to play during Seattle's preseason matchup against Pittsburgh on Saturday, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Impact Swain is dealing with back tightness that will force the expected absence, according to Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times. With fellow Seattle wide receivers Marquise Goodwin (hamstring) and Dee Eskridge (hamstring) also expected to sit out, rookies Bo Melton and Dareke Young should see increased snaps out wide while Penny Hart also gets more punt-return opportunities.
