Inks reserve/future deal with Miami
The Dolphins signed Conner to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Analysis: Conner got into three contests during the regular season, tallying 20 offensive snaps and 35 snaps on special teams without notching any stats. The Idaho State product was more active in his rookie 2022 campaign, participating in 13 games, though the vast majority of his work came as a special-teamer. The reserve/future deal he signed Monday will allow Conner a chance to compete for a roster spot during training camp this summer.

Reverts to practice squad
Conner reverted to Miami's practice squad Monday.
Analysis: Tanner was elevated for the third time this season and played on both offense and special teams but didn't record any stats during Miami's win over the Commanders on Sunday. The Dolphins will need to sign the 25-year-old to the active roster in order for him to play again, as he's now been elevated the maximum amount of times.

Bumps back up to active roster
Miami elevated Conner from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against Washington.
Analysis: Conner will be promoted to the Dolphins' gameday roster for the third time this season, as he suited up for back-to-back games against Carolina and Philadelphia back in October. The 25-year-old ultimately did not record an offensive statistic while primarily playing on special teams across these two contests. If he's ruled active pregame, Conner should serve a similar role behind fellow tight ends Durham Smythe, Julian Hill and Tyler Kroft in Week 13.

Reverts to practice squad
Conner reverted to Miami's practice squad Monday.
Analysis: Conner saw time on both offense and special teams during Sunday's loss to the Eagles but didn't record any stats. The 25-year-old will now wait for his next opportunity to be called up for a game, when he'd likely add value on special teams.

Elevated to active roster

Analysis: This move marks Conner's second elevation of the season and second in as many weeks. He logged 10 offensive snaps (15 percent) and 13 on special teams (43 percent) in Week 6. Look for him to see a similar role in Philly.

Headed to practice squad
The Dolphins signed Conner to the practice squad Wednesday.
Analysis: Conner is entering his second year as a pro after also spending his rookie campaign with the Dolphins. The vast majority of his work in 2022 came on special teams, and that's unlikely to change if he cracks the roster at some point in 2023.

Cut by Miami
The Dolphins waived Conner on Tuesday.
Analysis: Conner opened training camp on Miami's PUP list with an undisclosed issue, but he was activated last Tuesday and will hit waivers without any injury designation. The 24-year-old tight end played almost exclusively on special teams over 13 appearances with the Dolphins during his 2022 rookie campaign. Should he go unclaimed, Conner will likely seek to join a team's practice squad prior to the regular season.

Ready for action
Conner (undisclosed) was activated from the active/PUP list Tuesday.
Analysis: Conner opened camp on the list and has been unable to practice thus far. However, after passing his physical he'll be able to take the field with his team from here on out. The Idaho State product made 13 appearances with the Dolphins last season after going undrafted, and he'll use what time is left in camp to secure a spot on the team's 53-man roster once again.
