Ruled out against Kansas City
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 8:40 PM
Beal (hamstring) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Analysis: Beal suffered a hamstring injury in the loss to the 49ers in Week 2. He didn't practice throughout the week, slamming the door on his potential to play in the meeting with Kansas City. |

Ryan Miller Ryan Miller Questionable for Sunday
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 6:04 PM
Miller (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Analysis: Miller was limited in Wednesday's practice before missing Thursday's session. The wide receiver ultimately upgraded to full participation in Friday's session, making it likely that Miller will be able to suit up as a depth option for Sunday's contest. |

Chris Bell Chris Bell Good to go for Week 3
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 4:07 PM
Bell (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Analysis: With fellow rookie wideout Caleb Douglas (ankle) ruled out, Bell took on a larger role in Miami's passing game despite recently dealing with fluid buildup and soreness in his surgically repaired right knee. Doctors told him it isn't a major concern, and Bell then told reporters Thursday that he plans to play Week 3. |

Jaylen Wright Jaylen Wright Unlikely to play Sunday
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 10:30 AM
Wright (foot) is considered doubtful for Sunday's game against Kansas City, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Analysis: Ollie Gordon is the favorite for whatever backfield snaps and touches aren't taken by De'Von Achane, who has played 83 percent of Miami's offensive snaps through two weeks. |

Caleb Douglas Caleb Douglas Ruled out this week
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 10:21 AM
Douglas (ankle) won't play Sunday against the Chiefs, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: After catching five passes for 94 yards in his regular-season debut, Douglas had just 19 yards last week before exiting in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury. He hasn't practiced this week, suggesting he could miss time beyond Sunday. For the upcoming game against Kansas City, fellow rookies Chris Bell and Kevin Coleman are the top candidates to take on extra snaps in Douglas' absence, though Ryan Miller (hip) or Jalen Tolbert could also get involved. |

Clears concussion protocol
Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 9:07 PM
Robinson has cleared the concussion protocol and is available to play in Sunday's matchup with the Chiefs, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The defensive end likely suffered the concussion in Week 1 against the Raiders and then missed the Dolphins' Week 2 clash with the 49ers. Robinson has suffered three concussions in the last two seasons and told reporters he would wear the Guardian Cap on his helmet this week versus Kansas City, per Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post. The Miami Herald's Barry Jackson reported that Robinson has suffered "at least" five concussions in this three-year NFL career. |

Jaylen Wright Jaylen Wright Limited again Thursday
Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 9:02 PM
Wright (foot) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Wright is not only battling a foot injury, but he also sustained a stinger in Sunday's 35-13 loss to San Francisco. However, since he practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday and Thursday, the door remains open regarding his potential to play in Week 3 against Kansas City. While Wright hasn't held a prominent role, his absence would likely mean more work for Ollie Gordon behind De'Von Achane. |

Ryan Miller Ryan Miller Misses practice Thursday
Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 8:53 PM
Miller (hip) did not practice Thursday.
Analysis: Miller opened the week by practicing in a limited capacity, but he wasn't out there Thursday, which isn't an encouraging sign regarding his availability for the Week 3 meeting with the Chiefs. Miller logged only seven offensive snaps in the 35-13 loss to the 49ers in Week 2. However, with Chris Bell (knee) and Caleb Douglas (ankle) also battling injuries, there's a path for more playing time for Miller on Sunday, depending on who is available. |

Caleb Douglas Caleb Douglas Officially DNP again Thursday
Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 3:58 PM
Douglas (ankle) didn't practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Douglas has missed Miami's first two practices ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs after exiting the Week 2 loss to the 49ers in the fourth quarter. The rookie third-round pick is in danger of sitting out a regular-season game for the first time in his young NFL career, though Douglas could give himself a chance to play by practicing in some capacity Friday. Fellow rookie wide receiver Chris Bell (knee) was limited both Thursday and Friday, so the Dolphins are banged up at wide receiver behind Malik Washington. |

Chris Bell Chris Bell Intends to play Sunday
Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 2:50 PM
Bell (knee) said Thursday that he'll be ready to play Sunday against the Chiefs, C. C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, Bell said that he's experiencing some fluid buildup and soreness in his surgically repaired left knee, though doctors told him that it was nothing worrisome. The Dolphins have still been managing the rookie receiver carefully this week nonetheless, as he was a limited participant in Wednesday's session and was spotted working off to the side during the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, according to David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel. Though Bell is tracking to suit up Sunday, he may need to practice fully Friday to avoid taking an injury designation into the weekend. |

Caleb Douglas Caleb Douglas Not spotted at practice
Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 12:56 PM
Douglas (ankle) wasn't present at the open portion of Thursday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Douglas thus appears set to miss a second session in a row to begin Week 3 prep due to the ankle injury that knocked him out of the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's loss at San Francisco. Meanwhile, Chris Bell (knee) appeared to mix into some drills, so the statuses of two of the Dolphins' rookie wide receivers may be trending in different directions ahead of Sunday's game versus the Chiefs. |

Chris Bell Chris Bell Working on side Thursday
Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 12:53 PM
Bell (knee) "mostly worked on the side" during the media-viewing portion of Thursday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: After being listed as a limited participant Wednesday, Bell appears to have taken a step back Thursday, assuming he indeed goes down as a non-participant on Thursday's practice report. Fellow rookie third-round pick Caleb Douglas (ankle) also wasn't spotted Thursday, leaving Miami banged up at wide receiver behind de facto top option Malik Washington ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Chiefs. |

DNP Wednesday
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 9:40 PM
Beal (hamstring) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Beal exited the Dolphins' Week 2 loss to the 49ers early with a hamstring injury. The defensive end's inability to practice at the start of Week 3 means the injury could be more than a minor strain. Unless Beal can upgrade his practice participation by Friday, there is little to no chance the defensive end will suit up for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. |

Ryan Miller Ryan Miller Dealing with hip issue
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 8:04 PM
Miller (hip/back) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: It's not clear when Miller suffered the injury, but his availability for Week 3 is now in doubt. If he's not able to practice in full Thursday or Friday, there's a good chance he'll end up carrying an injury designation into the weekend. |

Jaylen Wright Jaylen Wright Nursing multiple injuries
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 7:57 PM
Wright (stinger/foot) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Wright was forced out of Sunday's loss at San Francisco early with a stinger, and it looks like he might have picked up a foot issue along the way as well. He'll likely have to manage a full practice Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend. |
|
Logs full practice Wednesday
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 7:52 PM
Robinson (concussion) was a full participant at practice Wednesday, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Robinson was sidelined during Sunday's loss at San Francisco as he recovered from a concussion, but he appears to be trending in a positive direction in Week 3. He presumably still has to get medical clearance from an independent neurologist before he can potentially be taken off Miami's injury report. |

Chris Bell Chris Bell Dealing with knee injury
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 4:11 PM
Bell was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Per C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald, Bell was spotted working out off to the side during the media-access portion of Wednesday's practice. The Dolphins haven't revealed whether Bell's limitations to begin Week 3 prep are related to the torn ACL he suffered last December, but he'll now have two more practices to prove his health this week ahead of Sunday's contest against the Chiefs. Through two games to begin his career, the rookie third-round pick has tallied one catch (on three targets) for 25 yards. |

Caleb Douglas Caleb Douglas Not ready to practice
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 11:44 AM
Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley said that Douglas (ankle) won't practice Wednesday, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Douglas sustained an ankle injury late in Sunday's 35-13 loss to San Francisco, and the injury puts his availability for the Dolphins' Week 3 game against the Chiefs in question. Per Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com, Hafley was non-committal on the rookie wideout's availability for the weekend, so Douglas may need to return to full practice participation by Friday to have a realistic chance of playing against Kansas City. Through his first two NFL games, Douglas has produced a 7-113-0 receiving line on 10 targets. |

Ryan Miller Ryan Miller Catches long TD in Week 2 defeat
Tue, Sep 22, 2026, 11:18 PM
Miller caught his only target for a 77-yard touchdown Sunday in a loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Miller worked mostly on special teams during the contest, but he got a chance to play seven offensive snaps. The fourth-year wideout made the most of the opportunity, connecting with QB Malik Willis on a 77-yard score late in the fourth quarter. The game was out of reach for Miami at that point, but it was still a significant moment for Miller as he tries to earn more playing time on offense. The door could be open a crack for that, as Caleb Douglas hurt his ankle Sunday and is uncertain to be able to play Week 3. With that in mind, Miller is buried pretty deep on Miami's WR depth chart, so he's not guaranteed to see the field often even if Douglas is ruled out. |

Kevin Coleman Jr. Kevin Coleman Jr. No targets in loss
Tue, Sep 22, 2026, 11:17 PM
Coleman played 27 offensive snaps and saw no targets in Sunday's 35-13 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Coleman played 46 percent of the Dolphins' offensive snaps in the blowout loss. The fifth-round rookie appears to have taken a backseat to Malik Washington, Caleb Douglas (ankle) and Chris Bell. Coleman could see an uptick in usage in the team's Week 3 game against the Chiefs if Douglas cannot play due to his ankle injury. |
