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.
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.
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 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 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.
Dolphins LB Jerome Baker suffered an MCL injury in Sunday's win over Washington. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Baker's considered "week to week at this point." That's not generally the way you describe a guy with a good chance to play this week. Assume Baker won't be available for next Monday's matchup with Tennessee. David Long led Miami LBs in playing time against Washington, with Duke Riley following. The team will also reportedly host LB Reuben Foster for a workout Wednesday, another bad sign for Baker's outlook.
Dolphins LB Jerome Baker left Sunday's game against the Commanders with a knee injury and has been ruled out. We'll see about his status heading into next Monday night's home date with the Titans. David Long is likely to lead the LB corps in playing time while Baker is out.
Dolphins S Jevon Holland left in the second half of Friday's game against the Jets with a knee injury. The team deemed him questionable to return but was playing with a big lead. So it wouldn't make much sense for Miami to bring him back in. We'll watch for updates ahead of the Week 13 visit to Washington.
Dolphins Edge Jaelan Phillips left in the second half of Friday's game against the Jets. He left the field on a cart after what looked pretty clearly like a rupture of his right Achilles' tendon. Miami quickly reported it as an Achilles' injury. This looks likely to end Phillips' season and could challenge his start to 2024. We'll watch for more on the 24-year-old, who has one more year on his rookie contract and then the fifth-year option available for 2025. Andrew Van Ginkel filled in for Phillips when he missed time earlier this season and would likely step into a starting role for the rest of this year. He'll be worth a pickup in plenty of IDP leagues ahead of Week 13.
Dolphins S Jevon Holland cleared the concussion protocol this week and has not appeared on the injury report at all ahead of Sunday morning's game against the Chiefs in Germany. He's back to being a weekly IDP starting option whenever healthy. Holland sits inside the top 15 in our Week 9 DB rankings.
Dolphins Edge Jaelan Phillips (oblique) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants. He managed limited practices all week after missing last Sunday's loss in Buffalo. The Palm Beach Post reports that Phillips "said he's not 100 percent but is confident he's healthy enough to help the team." If he's active, Phillips belongs in IDP lineups against the Giants. S DeShon Elliott (groin) is off the final injury report and ready to return after missing Week 4.
Dolphins Edge Jaelan Phillips put in limited practices Wednesday and Thursday. That's progress after he missed practice all last week with an oblique injury that cost him the Buffalo game. We'll see Friday about Phillips' game outlook. Meanwhile, S DeShon Elliott (groin) graduated to a full Thursday practice. He spent all last week limited before missing the game and then remained limited Wednesday.
Dolphins Edge Jaelan Phillips left Sunday's win over the Broncos with an oblique injury. That's a new issue after he missed Week 2 with a back injury. HC Mike McDaniel said afterward that the team trainer "wasn't too worried," according to Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post. We'll see about Phillips' outlook for Week 4.
The Dolphins added Edge Jaelan Phillips to the injury report Friday and list him questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots with a back injury he suffered in Friday's practice. We'll see about his status Sunday, but the late kickoff might mean you need to go with another option in your IDP lineup.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport updated the reports on Dolphins CB Jalen Ramsey's left knee injury. He says Ramsey is expected to get a full meniscus repair, which would keep him out until December "if all goes well." This will be confirmed (or altered) at his Friday surgery. If you play in an IDP league where CBs are relevant, then you should treat Ramsey as though he's not playing this season. We've knocked his projection down to three games in our IDP rankings. Cam Smith and Kader Kohou look like candidates to compete for the vacated starting role opposite Xavien Howard.
Update: Friday's surgery confirmed this path. Ramsey had the full repair and is expected to be out until December, according to Rapoport.
Dolphins CB Jalen Ramsey left the field late in Thursday's practice with a left knee injury. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Ramsey will have surgery on the knee and is expected to "miss the start of the regular season." The corner's ACL is reportedly "intact," however. We'll watch for more on just how long Ramsey will be out.
Update: NFL Network reports that Ramsey is expected to miss at least 6-8 weeks for the meniscus injury. "Doctors will have to determine whether the ligament can be repaired or must be removed, which would increase the cornerback's recovery timeline," the report says.
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.
