Adam Shaheen to return to Dolphins after trade to Texans voided for failed physical

The Dolphins’ trade of Adam Shaheen to the Texans will be voided and he will return to Miami after he was given a failed physical designation, according to a league source.

According to the source, Shaheen was flagged for a preexisting knee condition. A knee injury sidelined Shaheen for four games during the 2021 season but he hadn’t missed any time during the first two weeks of training camp.

The Dolphins on Tuesday announced they were trading Shaheen and a 2023 seventh-round pick to the Texans for a 2023 sixth-rounder. On Wednesday, head coach Mike McDaniel said the depth of the team’s tight end room allowed them to trade Shaheen, who was listed as fourth-team tight end — behind Mike Gesicki, Durham Smythe and Hunter Long — on the initial depth chart released Monday.
