Rahming and the Miami Dolphins agreed to a deal on Tuesday afternoon.
To make room for Rahming on the roster, the Dolphins waived Saeed Blacknall.
In the preseason with the Redskins, Rahming only saw the field in one game, Week 1 against the Cleveland Browns. He caught one pass for six yards.
He was waived prior to Washington’s Week 2 preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The newest Dolphin can also return punts, totaling 38 returns for an averaged of 6.2 yards per return in his Duke career.
