The Miami Dolphins have made three roster moves ahead of Sunday's game against the New England Patriots. 

They have activated wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. from the physically unable to perform list, signed quarterback Tim Boyle the practice squad and elevated him and cornerback Nik Needham to the active roster from the practice squad for Sunday's game.


The Dolphins signed Beckham to a one-year deal worth up to $3 million with a void year in 2025. The hope was that Beckham would be a good complement to speedsters Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle but a knee injury kept him out all offseason and into the regular season.

Boyle was released on Friday likely to make room for Beckham and signed right away to the practice squad. He will be the backup on Sunday to Tyler Huntley. 

Needham has yet to play a game this season after being a mainstay in the Dolphins secondary the last five seasons. He will provide depth in the secondary. 

The Dolphins and Patriots will kick off at noon on Sunday.
