The Dolphins selected Texas Tech LB Jacob Rodriguez in the second round of the NFL Draft. Rodriguez spent the past two years starting for the Red Raiders and led the Big 12 in solo tackles each year.

The Jets are trading a seventh-round pick to the Dolphins for S Minkah Fitzpatrick. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the team has also agreed to a new three-year, $40 million pact with the veteran DB. Fitzpatrick spent 2025 back with Miami after arriving via trade from the Steelers. He opened his career with the Dolphins before a 2019 trade sent him north.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that the Dolphins are releasing edge Bradley Chubb. It's actually not a surprising move after a 2025 contract restructure left Chubb with a large 2026 cap hit. He has been with Miami since a 2022 trade from Denver. Chubb missed 2024 with an ACL tear but returned to play every game this past season. He'll turn 30 in June.

Dolphins LB Tyrel Dodson is active for today's game against the Buccaneers. He entered the day questionable but should be ready for IDP lineups.

Dolphins LB Jordyn Brooks is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals after foot and knee injuries limited him to just one limited practice this week. But Brooks told reporters after Friday's practice that he'll play this week, according to multiple reports.

The Eagles are trading 2026 third-round pick to the Dolphins for Edge Jaelan Phillips, according to multiple reports. This is the third edge player Philadelphia has added since the start of the season, but Phillips should make a much bigger impact than Za'Darius Smith (who has since retired) or Brandon Graham (who recently came out of retirement).

Dolphins LB Tyrel Dodson has cleared the concussion protocol and will play Sunday against the Browns, according to David Furones of the Orlando Sentinel. Dodson missed last week's game after suffering the concussion the week prior, but he put in full practices all this week. Dodson has jumped back up our Week 7 LB rankings and belongs in IDP lineups in most cases.

Dolphins LB Tyrel Dodson has entered the league concussion protocol after leaving Sunday's game early with the injury. We'll see about his progress during the week, but that's likely to keep Dodson from playing against the Chargers on Sunday.

Dolphins LB Anthony Walker is active for today's game against the Jets. He was questionable with a hamstring injury but finished the practice week with full Friday participation. Walker's OK as a lower-end IDP option -- albeit with some risk. His return figures to knock LB Tyrel Dodson back to a reserve role.

Dolphins LB Anthony Walker is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets. His progress through the practice week makes it look like he's trending toward playing, though. Walker sat out Wednesday's practice before going limited Thursday and full on Friday. If he can't go, then Tyrel Dodson would likely fill in for the second straight week.

Dolphins S Jevon Holland (hand) and Edge Emmanuel Ogbah (biceps) will play Sunday against the Cardinals, HC Mike McDaniel told reporters Friday. Each player missed the Week 7 loss to the Colts. Holland returns as a DB3-level option in the Week 8 rankings. Ogbah looks like a DL4-5 with upside. Arizona QB Kyler Murray took 4 sacks apiece in losses to Buffalo and Washington. He has taken just 3 total sacks across the other five games.

Doiphins DL Zach Sieler will miss Sunday's game against the Cardals after getting poked in the eye in practice, according to NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe. HC Mike McDaniel said Friday they don't know Sieler's return timeline beyond that yet. There's no DL behind Sieler in Miami worth playing in his place in most IDP formats.

Dolphins LB David Long (knee) is active for today’s game against the Colts. He remained limited throughout the practice week despite coming off a Week 6 bye. Long carries plenty of upside but also some risk for IDP lineups.

Dolphins Edge Jaelan Phillips announced Wednesday that he'll miss the rest of the season with a knee injury he suffered Monday night against the Titans. "I suffered a season ending knee injury that will require reconstructive surgery," he posted on Instagram. That marks a second straight season-ending injury for Phillips, who tore an Achilles' tendon last November.

Dolphins Edge Bradley Chubb will remain on the physically unable to perform list at the start of the regular season, HC Mike McDaniel announced Monday. That's not a surprise, as Chubb continues to work back from a late December ACL tear. But it confirms that he'll miss at least the first four regular-season games.

The Dolphins announced Monday that they're activating Edge Jaelan Phillips off the physically unable to perform list. That makes Phillips eligible to practice just 8.5 months after he tore his right Achilles' tendon.

The Dolphins spent the 21st pick of the NFL Draft on Edge Chop Robinson. After a year at Maryland, Robinson closed out his college career with tow years at Penn State. He totaled 60 tackles, 11.5 sacks, and 20.0 tackles for loss across his three seasons. Robinson delivered a 97th-percentile speed score at 254 pounds at the Scouting Combine. We're a little concerned that Robinson won't claim high enough snap shares to produce consistent fantasy stats.

Dolphins S Jevon Holland (knees) and LB Jerome Baker (knee) are active for tonight's game against the Bills. It's the second straight game for Holland after he returned last week from a four-game absence. Baker missed the past four games with his injury and remained limited in practice this week. We've added him to the Week 18 LB rankings and knocked David Long down.

Dolphins Edge Bradley Chubb tore his right ACL in Sunday's loss to the Ravens. That's the second such injury of his NFL career. Chubb tore his left ACL in Week 4 of 2019. His pass-rushing production dipped the following season. Chubb then struggled through 2021 as well, but the main issue there was an ankle injury that originated in summer and got aggravated in Week 2. The timing of this injury figures to challenge the 27-year-old's (28 in June) readiness for the 2024 season. Chubb's contract should lock him in with the Dolphins for at least one more season, but there's potential for him to be a cap casualty ahead of the 2025 campaign. We'll watch for updates on his return throughout the offseason. For Week 18 (and the playoffs) of this season, Melvin Ingram figures to see the biggest playing-time boost in Chubb's absence. He's not a high-level IDP option for Sunday night's regular-season finale against the Bills.

Dolphins S Jevon Holland (knees), CB Jalen Ramsey (knee), and CB Xavien Howard (hip, thumb) are active for today's game against the Ravens. Holland missed the past four games with the knee troubles and remained limited in practice this week. There's likely some risk of re-injury, but Miami also appears to have been cautious in bringing him back. Holland's ultimately worth using as planned in most IDP cases. Ramsey and Howard are no more than low-level IDP possibilities.
