Matt Overton has been elevated for the third consecutive game since signing with the Dolphins on October 19, following Blake Ferguson's placement on the Reserve/Non-Football Illness list. His future with the team hinges on this game, as the Dolphins must either sign him to the 53-man roster or seek a new long-snapper, given Ferguson's continued absence.

Matt Overton was elevated from the practice squad to fill a crucial role as the long snapper for the Dolphins due to Blake Ferguson's absence on the Reserve/Non-Football Illness list. This move was almost automatic, given Ferguson's expected absence for at least three games. Overton's situation is noteworthy as he can only be elevated from the practice squad three times, which means he will need to be signed to the active roster to participate in future games, including the upcoming Monday night matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.
