The Dolphins have agreed to a two-year, $11 million deal with LB David Long Jr., according to multiple reports. Long spent nearly all of the past two seasons starting for the Titans, though he lost 11 games to injuries over that span. Long has been productive -- fantasy wise -- since stepping into the lineup. He has a shot to be the top fantasy producer in a Miami LB corps that has seen Jerome Baker lead the scoring over the past several years. But Baker's play -- and playing time -- has wavered. Long doesn't figure to excite fantasy players, so expect to be able to select him later in 2023 redraft IDP leagues.

Dolphins EDGE Bradley Chute (ankle, hand) and CB Xavien Howard (knee) are inactive for today's game against the Patriots.

Dolphins EDGE Jaelan Phillips (knee) and S Eric Rowe (hamstring) are active for today's game against the Packers.

Dolphins EDGE Jaelan Phillips (quad) is active for today's game against the Bears. S Eric Rowe (hip) is as well but shouldn't be in IDP lineups after being a healthy scratch a week ago.

The Dolphins are sending RB Chase Edmonds and 2 draft picks to the Broncos for EDGE Bradley Chubb. The Broncos are getting a 2023 first-rounder that initially belonged to San Francisco, as well as a 4th-rounder in 2024. Miami will get a 5th-rounder in 2025. Chubb upgrades a Dolphins pass rush that ranks just 23rd in sacks and has dealt with some injuries. He's in the final year of his rookie deal, so we'd bet on an extension following. Edmonds played his way out of the starting backfield gig in Miami but lands in a Denver offense that presents opportunity. We'll see about the team's RB plans coming out of the Week 9 bye, though we wouldn't bet on any of the Denver backs truly taking over. Chubb's departure should mean more playing time for 2nd-round rookie EDGE Nik Bonitto, who has 1.5 sacks over his past 2 games. Myles Gaskin looks like the #2 RB in Miami now.

The Dolphins surprisingly made Eric Rowe inactive for today's game against the Lions. He's a healthy scratch, which fuels speculation that he could be traded ahead of Tuesday's deadline. Rowe even tweeted he was "shocked" shortly after inactives came out. with S Brandon Jones on IR, expect Clayton Fejedelem to join Jevon Holland in the lineup.

Dolphins CB Xavien Howard (groin) and EDGE Emmanuel Ogbah (back) are active for today's game against the Lions.

Dolphins lead CB Xavien Howard (groin) and EDGE Emmanuel Ogbah (back) are questionable for Sunday's game in Detroit. Howard played through his injury for 100% of defensive snaps last Sunday night. Ogbah missed that game but finished the practice week with a full workout. We'll check both players' statuses Sunday morning.

The Dolphins on Monday placed S Brandon Jones on IR for the knee injury that knocked him out of Sunday night's game. HC Mike McDaniel didn't say whether Jones would miss the rest of the season but said he expected to have more info by Wednesday. Eric Rowe is the next man up for Miami.

Dolphins S Brandon Jones left in the 3rd quarter of Sunday night's win over the Steelers with a left-knee injury. He needed a lot of help getting off the field, so this one could be significant. Dr. David Chao said that by video, there's fear of an ACL tear. We'll see what the team says Monday. Eric Rowe replaced Jones in the lineup.

Dolphins EDGE Emmanuel Ogbah (back) is inactive for tonight's game against the Steelers. CB Xavien Howard (groin) and DL Christian Wilkins (hand) are active.

Dolphins CB Xavier Howard (groin) is inactive for today's game against the Jets. Already down starting CB Byron Jones for the 5th straight game, Miami's secondary presents an upside matchup for the talented Jets wideouts.

Dolphins S Brandon Jones (chest) and CB Xavien Howard (groin, glute) are active for tonight's game against the Bengals. It's a positive matchup for both defenders.

Dolphins S Brandon Jones (chest) and CB Xavien Howard (groin, glute) are questionable for Thursday night's game at Cincinnati. He did put in limited practices the past 2 days. We'll check his availability Thursday evening.

Dolphins lead CB Xavien Howard (groin) is active for today's game against the Bills. If he's limited at all by the groin issue, though, Buffalo's WRs are certainly capable of exploiting the weakness.

Dolphins DT Christian Wilkins (back) is active for today's game against the Ravens. Use him as planned in IDP lineups.

Dolphins DT Christian Wilkins (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens. He popped up on the injury report Thursday and was limited the past 2 days. We'll check his status Sunday morning.
