Dolphins Releasing K Riley Patterson & CB Storm Duck

Barry Jackson reports the Dolphins are also releasing CB Storm Duck from the PUP list.

Patterson, 27, wound up going undrafted out of Memphis back in 2021. He later signed a rookie contract with the Vikings but was waived coming out of the preseason.

The Patriots later signed Patterson to their practice squad before the Lions added him to their active roster in late November. Detroit waived him at the start of the 2022 season and he was later claimed by the Jaguars. 

Jacksonville had re-signed Patterson as an exclusive rights free agent but traded him to the Lions in May 2023. He kicked most of the season for Detroit before being released and catching on with the Browns as an injury replacement.

From there, the Jaguars signed Patterson to a futures contract this offseason. Jacksonville waived him in July and he was later claimed by the Commanders. However, Washington let him go in August.

Patterson had stints with the Jets, Falcons and Browns but returned to the Falcons’ active roster off Cleveland’s practice squad in December 2024. He then caught on with the Dolphins’ practice squad after roster cutdowns last year.

From there, Patterson re-signed with Miami for the 2026 season.

In 2026, Patterson has appeared in five games for the Dolphins and made seven of nine field goals along with five of six extra point attempts.

Duck, 25, signed with the Dolphins as an undrafted free agent out of Louisville following the 2024 NFL Draft. He signed a three-year, $2,850,000 contract and is set to make a base salary of $1,075,000 in 2026.

In 2025, Duck appeared in two games for the Dolphins and recorded two total tackles and a pass defended.
