Placed on PUP list
Thu, Jul 23, 2026, 3:53 PM
Duck (knee) was placed on the active/PUP list Thursday.
Analysis: Duck was unable to participate fully in OTAs due to a persistent knee injury lingering from last October's game against the Falcons. The outside cornerback was set to start opening day, and it is unclear what his injury timeline is regarding training camp and the preseason. |

Moved to PUP list
Thu, Jul 23, 2026, 3:49 PM
Baker (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list Thursday.
Analysis: Baker was a new acquisition for the Dolphins, joining the team in March on a one-year deal. The cornerback was set to compete for a starting role on the defense in 2026, and it is unclear if he will still be available to start the season. |

Chris Bell Chris Bell Shifts to NFI list
Tue, Jul 21, 2026, 3:03 PM
The Dolphins placed Bell (ACL) on the active/non-football injury list on Tuesday.
Analysis: Bell is rehabbing from a torn ACL suffered during his final collegiate season at Louisville, and for which he underwent surgery last December. Though the rookie third-round pick has previously stated that he expects to be ready for training camp, it looks like Bell may need a bit more time before being cleared to take the practice field. Miami has yet to provide an official timetable for his return. Once cleared to practice, Bell will have an opportunity to compete for a significant role in a Dolphins receiver corps that also houses Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert, Tutu Atwell, and fellow rookies Caleb Douglas and Kevin Coleman. |

Agrees to three-year extension
Tue, Jul 21, 2026, 10:37 AM
Brooks and the Dolphins agreed to terms Tuesday on a three-year, $51.3 million contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Brooks led the NFL in stops last year while playing all 17 regular-season games, with 183 total tackles (99 solo), including 3.5 sacks, plus three passes defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. He had been heading into the final year of his contract with Miami, but instead Brooks will now remain with the Dolphins as a long-term pillar for the scheme of new defensive coordinator Sean Duggan. Brooks has entrenched himself as a high-end fantasy asset in IDP formats, and Miami has also added valuable depth to the linebacker position in the form of rookie second-rounder Jacob Rodriguez. |

Ollie Gordon II Ollie Gordon II Competing for backup role
Fri, Jul 10, 2026, 5:44 PM
Gordon and Jaylen Wright are in line to compete for backup slotting behind De'Von Achane in training camp, Mike Masala of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Achane is the Dolphins' clear-cut top back, which limits the fantasy lineup utility of his backups as long as he's available. However, if Achane misses time this season for any reason, there's streaming value to be had with the player who's next in line for carries. During the 2025 regular season, Gordon and Wright each logged 70 carries, though Wright (who averaged 4.1 yards per carry) did so in 10 contests while Gordon (2.8 yards per carry) was available for Miami's full slate. |

Gets extension with Phins
Wed, Jun 10, 2026, 6:46 PM
Miami signed Brewer to a three-year, $52.5 million contract extension Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The deal makes Brewer one of football's highest-paid centers. He has missed just one game since signing with the Dolphins as a free agent in 2024, and the team is obviously counting on him to continue to be a reliable fixture on its offensive line for the long term. |

Malik Willis Malik Willis Chemistry with WRs not there yet
Fri, Jun 5, 2026, 11:14 AM
Dolphins head coach Jeff Halfley said Tuesday at the start of mandatory minicamp that Willis building a rapport with his new pass-catching corps is "a work in progress," David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: When Willis signed his three-year, $67.5 million deal in March, Miami still had an established No. 1 receiver in Jaylen Waddle, who has since been traded to Denver. As a result, the Dolphins now enter the summer with a far less proven receiving corps headlined by Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert, Tutu Atwell and TE Greg Dulcich, while rookies Caleb Douglas (undisclosed), Chris Bell (ACL) and Kevin Coleman continue to compete for roles. Another factor in Willis' uneven start to OTAs and minicamp has been the absence of De'Von Achane (shoulder), arguably Miami's most dynamic pass catcher, who has been limited to individual drills while recovering from an offseason procedure. OC Bobby Slowik suggested Thursday developing chemistry with the team's receivers will "probably be an ongoing process all the way up to the regular-season start." Much of Willis' fantasy appeal stems from his dual-threat ability, but it would still be encouraging to see the passing game gain traction once training camp begins in July. |

Avoids major injury
Thu, Jun 4, 2026, 8:00 PM
Coach Jeff Hafley said that the injury Salyer (undisclosed) sustained during practice Wednesday won't be a long-term issue, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Salyer was carted off the practice field Wednesday, so it's relieving news that he avoided anything too serious. Hafley also said that Salyer may miss practice next week, which could open the door for rookie sixth-rounder DJ Campbell to get more meaningful reps at guard. |

Jaylen Wright Jaylen Wright Looking good at OTAs
Thu, Jun 4, 2026, 2:33 PM
Dolphins offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik said Thursday that Wright "has some speed" and looks comfortable this offseason, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: It sounds like Wright is off to a good start under the new coaching staff, competing with Ollie Gordon, Donovan Edwards and others for backup backfield roles behind De'Von Achane. One of the bunch could see a decent number of carries, as the Dolphins presumably won't want the sub-200-pound Achane butting heads between the tackles repeatedly. Wright was billed as a big-play threat rather than a power runner when the Dolphins took him in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, but he does have decent size (5-foot-10, 208 pounds) to go with his 4.38 speed (2024 Combine). |

Greg Dulcich Greg Dulcich Building chemistry with QBs
Thu, Jun 4, 2026, 12:06 PM
Dulcich said Thursday that he's been building chemistry with QB Malik Willis during OTAs, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Dulcich told reporters that he's been impressed by Willis' vision and arm strength. It's the typical positive chatter for this time of year, but there is real reason to think Dulcich will become one of Willis' preferred pass-catchers, if only because there's so little else on the roster. Miami's other tight ends have combined for 24 receptions in the NFL, making Dulcich (67 catches in 31 games) the clear favorite for passing-down work. Rookie TE Will Kacmarek, a third-round pick, also has a chance to earn a lot of playing time, but he'll likely do far more blocking than route-running. The Dolphins re-signed Dulcich in March on a one-year, $3.25 million contract ($2.9 million guaranteed) after he averaged 2.9 catches for 37.2 yards over the final nine games of 2025. |

Caleb Douglas Caleb Douglas Dealing with minor injury
Thu, Jun 4, 2026, 9:26 AM
Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley said Thursday that Douglas "tweaked something" during Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Hafley doesn't expect the injury to be a long-term concern. Taken with the 75th overall pick this year, Douglas joins a WR room that's widely viewed as the weakest in the league. He'll thus have a chance to compete for immediate playing time if he's back to full strength before training camp. With 4.39 speed, at 6-foot-4, 206 pounds, Douglas could have some value to Miami's offense even if he's just running clear-out routes. |

On track for training camp return
Wed, Jun 3, 2026, 7:56 PM
Jackson said Wednesday he's ahead of schedule in his recovery from a nagging toe injury he dealt with in 2025, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Jackson underwent surgery during the offseason to address the issue, and he now believes he'll be ready to return to the practice field for training camp in July. Barring any setbacks, he should be expected to suit up as Miami's starting right tackle come Week 1 at Las Vegas. |

Leaves practice field on cart
Wed, Jun 3, 2026, 7:29 PM
Salyer (undisclosed) was carted off the practice field after suffering an injury Wednesday, Chris Perkins of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: It's not known at this time exactly what kind of injury Salyer sustained, but it looks like it could be something serious. His not being available would be a severe blow to Miami's depth on its offensive line, potentially leaving rookie sixth-rounder DJ Campbell as one of the top backup options at guard. |

De'Von Achane De'Von Achane Taking individual reps at minicamp
Wed, Jun 3, 2026, 1:37 PM
Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley said Wednesday that Achane (shoulder) has been limited to individual drills at mandatory minicamp, Chris Perkins of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Hafley said Achane will continue handling individual drills Thursday, the final date of Miami's three-day minicamp. The star running back, who signed a four-year, $68 million in May, is recovering from a clean-up procedure to address a shoulder injury that forced him to miss Week 18 of the 2025 season, but there's not yet any reason to believe the issue will impact his activity level for the start of training camp in July. Until such time as Achane is fully cleared, however, Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon will be the favorites to handle first-team reps in 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills. |

Targeting increased role in 2026
Wed, Jun 3, 2026, 12:51 PM
Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley said Tuesday that Robinson (concussion) "needs to become a complete football player going into Year 3 and we have high expectations for him," Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: "Hopefully [Robinson] becomes an every-down player," Hafley said. The 2024 first-round pick missed Week 18 of the 2025 season due to a concussion, but he's been a full participant at voluntary OTAs, per Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post. Robinson has flashed as a pass rusher, totaling 10.0 sacks across his first two seasons against the league, but his inconsistent performance against the run has limited his total workload, as he played just 415 defensive snaps across 15 regular-season appearances last year. Robinson has added seven pounds of muscle this offseason, which he hopes to help him transition into an every-down role following the release of Bradley Chubb (now with Buffalo). |

Jalen Reagor Jalen Reagor Signs with Dolphins
Tue, Jun 2, 2026, 7:15 PM
Miami signed Reagor on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Reagor will now be joining his fifth different team since Philadelphia selected him in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. The Dolphins' competition for snaps at wide receiver appears wide open behind 2024 sixth-rounder Malik Washington, so Reagor could have a fighting chance at a spot on the final 53-man roster for 2026. |

Recovering from clean-up procedure
Thu, May 28, 2026, 7:21 PM
Jackson (back) underwent surgery during the offseason to address an injury he sustained last year, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Jackson was only able to appear in six games for Miami in 2025 due to various injury concerns, so it's not too surprising that he needed extra attention from physicians once the campaign concluded. When healthy, he projects to start at right tackle for the Dolphins in 2026. |

Still dealing with knee injury
Thu, May 28, 2026, 6:13 PM
Duck (knee) will not be able to participate in full during OTAs, C Isaiah Smalls II of The Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: The cornerback suffered a season-ending knee injury in an October regular-season game last year against the Falcons. While he's clearly still dealing with the issue, the fact that he's able to participate at all might be a step in the right direction ahead of training camp. Duck has started four of the 16 games he's played in across two NFL seasons. |

Quinn Ewers Quinn Ewers No limitations during OTAs
Wed, May 27, 2026, 6:52 PM
Ewers (knee) was participating fully in 7-on-7 drills during OTAs, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Per Kelly, Ewers was performing well, connecting with tight end Ben Sims and rookie undrafted free agent wide receiver Donaven McCulley. As the offseason progresses, Ewers will continue to compete for the Dolphins' backup spot with 2025 sixth-rounder Cam Miller and rookie undrafted free agent Mark Gronowski. |

De'Von Achane De'Von Achane Rehabbing shoulder at OTAs
Wed, May 27, 2026, 9:52 AM
Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley said Wednesday that Achane (shoulder) is recovering from a clean-up procedure and will not be a full participant at OTAs, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Achane missed the final game of the 2025 season due to a shoulder injury, but he still finished with a career-high 1,350 rushing yards and eight touchdowns across 16 regular-season appearances while averaging a league-best 5.8 yards per carry on 238 attempts. There have been no indications that the shoulder procedure he's rehabbing is anything beyond routine offseason maintenance, a notion reinforced by the four-year, $68 million extension Miami signed him to earlier in May. Achane's next opportunity to return to the field following OTAs will come during mandatory minicamp June 2-4, though the Dolphins could choose to remain cautious and hold him out until training camp in July. He projects as a top-12 fantasy selection not only due to his standing as the centerpiece of Miami's rushing attack alongside dual-threat quarterback Malik Willis, but also because of his pass-catching upside. Achane has compiled more catches (145) and receiving yards (1,080) over the past two seasons than any other player currently on the Dolphins' roster. |
