Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said that pass-rusher Bradley Chubb (knee) will not be activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list in order to play in the final two weeks of the season despite returning to practice three weeks ago. The 28-year-old linebacker has been recovering all year from a torn ACL and other damage in his knee that he suffered a full year ago and will end up not playing a single game for the Dolphins in 2024. Barring a setback in the offseason, Chubb should be fully ready to take part in offseason workouts and for the start of the 2025 season next fall. The former fifth overall pick of the Denver Broncos in 2018 out of North Carolina State was on pace to set a new career-high in sacks in 2023 before suffering his knee injury. Miami's pass rush will be much better off if Chubb is healthy in 2025.
Miami Dolphins pass rusher Bradley Chubb (knee) will not be activated by the team prior to its game against San Francisco in Week 16. Chubb is working his way back from a serious knee injury he suffered late last season. The Dolphins won't have their talented outside pass rusher back in action this week and if they are eliminated from playoff contention with a loss, Chubb will likely not make his return this season. Chubb could add to a playoff run for the Dolphins but there is little upside to bringing him back this season otherwise.
Miami Dolphins linebacker Bradley Chubb (knee) and offensive tackles Terron Armstead (knee) and Kendall Lamm (back) have all been ruled out for Week 15 against the Houston Texans on Sunday. Chubb has yet to play this year while recovering from a torn ACL. The 28-year-old is making progress, though, and could make his 2024 season debut next weekend versus the San Francisco 49ers if he has a good week of practice. Getting Chubb back to close out the season will be a huge upgrade for Miami's pass rush. Armstead, who was listed as doubtful, aggravated his knee injury in the Week 14 overtime win over the division-rival New York Jets and won't be available against Houston. Patrick Paul will likely get the start in his absence. Houston's defensive line could cause some issues in Miami's backfield with both Armstead and Lamm out.
Miami Dolphins linebacker Bradley Chubb (knee) was limited in practice all week and is questionable to play on Sunday against the Houston Texans in Week 15. Meanwhile, offensive tackle Terron Armstead (knee) is doubtful to play after missing practice all week. Chubb was designated to return from the Physically Unable to Perform last week but did not play in the Week 14 overtime win over the division-rival New York Jets. The 28-year-old has had another full week of practice, but it doesn't mean he'll be activated from the PUP list on Saturday in order to make his 2024 debut on Sunday in Houston. And whenever Chubb is active for the first time this year, we'd be surprised if he wasn't eased into the rotation along Miami's defensive line. Chubb was having the best year of his career in 2023 in his first year in Miami before tearing his ACL in Week 17. He'll be a huge boost to their pass rush down the stretch.
There is currently no timetable for Miami Dolphins pass-rusher Bradley Chubb (knee), who is eligible to come off the Physically Unable to Perform list next week. "Chubb is in all of our meetings - gives me the feel we will see him at some point this year," defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver said. The fact that Chubb doesn't have a clear timetable yet leads us to believe that he probably won't be officially activated off the PUP list next week. The 28-year-old former Denver Broncos pass-rusher is recovering from a torn ACL in his knee that he suffered in Week 17 of 2023. The Dolphins are holding out hope that he will be able to return to their defense later this season, but it also sounds as though he has plenty of work to do. Chubb probably isn't going to be on the IDP radar this year as he eases his way back onto the field for the Dolphins.
Miami Dolphins linebacker Bradley Chubb (knee) will not be activated from the Physically Unable to Perform List before the season kicks off. As reported by Ari Meirov, the star edge rusher will be forced to miss at least the first four games of the new season since he hasn't progressed enough to be activated from the PUP list. Chubb tore his right ACL during the team's Week 17 contest against the Baltimore Ravens last season which was just three seasons after tearing his left ACL while he was still a member of the Denver Broncos. He played a big part in the Dolphins' success on defense last year, so it remains to be seen how this will effect him and the team's pass-rush moving forward.
The Miami Dolphins placed linebackers Bradley Chubb (knee), Cameron Goode (knee) and Jaelan Phillips (Achilles) and offensive lineman Isaiah Wynn (quadriceps) on the Physically Unable to Perform list on Thursday, meaning they won't be ready to take part in the start of training camp next week. Chubb tore the ACL in his right knee in Week 17 in 2023 and will not be ready for the start of the 2024 regular season as a result. The former fifth overall pick of the Denver Broncos in 2018 out of North Carolina State had 11 sacks, a career-high 73 tackles (45 solo) and a league-high six forced fumbles in 16 starts in his first year in Miami in 2023 before his injury. Phillips needed surgery to fix a right Achilles tear in November but is hoping to be ready for the regular-season opener. Miami's pass rush won't be the same until both Chubb and Phillips are back on the field together.
There is concern that Miami Dolphins linebacker Bradley Chubb (knee) tore his ACL late in the Week 17 blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, according to a source. "It doesn't look good." Chubb went down with a non-contact injury in the fourth quarter with the game already well out of hand and had to be carted off the field. He will undergo an MRI exam on Monday, but all signs are pointing toward Chubb missing the rest of the season and most likely the start of the 2024 season this fall. It's a crushing blow to Miami's defense with just one game remaining before the start of the playoffs. With Chubb out, Melvin Ingram and Cameron Goode should see increased snaps at weakside linebacker, beginning in Week 18 against the Buffalo Bills in a game that will decide the winner of the AFC East.
According to ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques, the Dolphins fear linebacker Bradley Chubb (knee) suffered a torn ACL in Sunday's blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The 27-year-old had six tackles before suffering a non-contact injury in the fourth quarter. Of course, he'll likely need further testing. However, it wouldn't be an ideal situation for Miami if Chubb is done for the rest of the year, considering he's one of the Dolphins' top defensive options. It would also be a tough blow for fantasy managers, especially since Chubb has 11 sacks this season. Even worse, the timing of the possible ACL tear could mean the issue extends into training camp and jeopardize his availability for the start of the 2024-25 campaign.
Miami Dolphins linebacker Bradley Chubb (knee) was carted to the locker room with a serious injury near the end of Sunday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens. A defensive staple, Chubb had logged six tackles at the time of his departure. Injuries are always unfortunate, but seeing one occur during garbage time is especially difficult. Miami will brace for the worst as they await additional test results on Chubb over the next couple of days.
