Dolphins' Michael Taaffe: Healthy ahead of Week 7
Taaffe (chest) did not appear on the Dolphins' injury report Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Taaffe suffered a chest injury in Week 5 versus the Bengals, but he appears to be back to full health after the team's bye week. The 23-year-old is all set to operate in his role as a primary reserve option at safety Sunday against the Jets.

Dolphins' Michael Taaffe: Questionable to return with chest issue
Taaffe (chest) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Taaffe exited the third quarter of Sunday's contest with a chest injury. The reserve strong safety's absence means that Julius Wood will have to fill in at strong safety if Dante Trader must leave the contest.

Dolphins' Michael Taaffe: Packs bags for Miami
The Dolphins selected Taaffe in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 158th overall.
Taaffe, out of Texas, started all 26 games over his final two collegiate seasons and generated 148 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, 3.0 sacks, 15 pass breakups and four interceptions. He's an extremely aggressive safety who is comfortable as a run stopper and in coverage. His size is a serious question mark, however, as he measured in at 6-foot, 190 pounds while having some of the smallest arms for a safety in the draft. Taaffe's skills may not be enough to overcome his physical limitations, but there should be a clear path to a role on special teams.
