Van Noy finished the 2022-23 season with 46 tackles (30 solo), five sacks, an additional three tackles for loss, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries across 17 games.
In his first season with the Chargers, Van Noy finished tied for third on the team in sacks and fourth in total tackles for loss. This marked the fourth season in a row that the 31-year-old recorded five or more sacks. However, Van Noy had his lowest number of tackles since 2016 and registered 30 less tackles than fellow linebacker Kenneth Murray despite slightly outpacing him in playing time.

Patriots' Kyle Van Noy: Career game in Week 11 win
Rotowire
Van Noy accumulated eight tackles (five solo), two sacks, one pass breakup and a pick-six during Week 11's win over the Falcons.
Van Noy not only led the Patriots in terms of tackles, but with two sacks and a fourth-quarter interception, which he returned for a 35-yard touchdown, the veteran managed one of the best games of his career. Though Van Noy doesn't necessarily possess a stellar floor as a tackler, his big-play ability makes him worthy of weekly fantasy consideration in IDP formats. Next, Van Noy will look to disrupt Ryan Tannehill and the Titans in Week 12.

Patriots' Kyle Van Noy: Questionable with groin injury
Rotowire
Van Noy (groin) is listed as questionable for Thursday's primetime matchup against Atlanta.
Coming off a monster game in which the linebacker recovered a fumble and recorded a sack, the Patriots have been cautious with the veteran's groin injury ahead of Thursday's matchup, limiting him in practice throughout the week. If the veteran linebacker does not play, Calvin Munson and Cameron McGrone would be in line for more work.

Patriots' Kyle Van Noy: Returning to New England
Rotowire
The Patriots and Van Noy agreed to terms on a two-year contract Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
A significant free-agent addition for the Dolphins just last offseason, Van Noy found himself without a job last week as the team attempted to become cap compliant. He'll now return to New England, where he averaged 73.7 tackles and 5.2 sacks per season between 2017 and 2019. Van Noy likely will work in tandem with offseason addition Matthew Judon at outside linebacker.

Kyle Van Noy: Cut by Dolphins after all
Rotowire
Miami released Van Noy on Wednesday.
The Dolphins had already decided to part ways with Van Noy in early March, but he was left on the roster for a couple weeks while Miami gauged trade interest. With no other team willing to surrender meaningful draft capital to acquire Van Noy at his salary level, Miami will now let the linebacker hit the open market. The versatile veteran still brings upside as a do-it-all linebacker, and now that he doesn't carry a $12.5 million salary for next season, he should draw plenty of interest in free agency.

Dolphins' Kyle Van Noy: Could be traded
Rotowire
The Dolphins have yet to release Van Noy because the team hopes to trade him, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Van Noy was both productive and versatile last season, with 69 tackles, six sacks, six defended passes, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries, and he managed to suit up for 14 games despite battling numerous injuries. However, the soon-to-be 30-year-old is also due a $12.5 million salary next season, which could severely dampen trade interest.

Dolphins' Kyle Van Noy: On track to be released
Rotowire
The Dolphins plan to release Van Noy, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Van Noy signed a four-year, $51 million contract with the Dolphins last March, but his tenure with the team will last just one season. The linebacker logged 69 tackles, six sacks, six defended passes, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 14 games in 2020, but he'll be on the move once again. Per Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald, letting Van Noy go will create $9.7 million in salary cap savings (and as much at $12.5M if he's deemed a post June 1 cut) for Miami.

Dolphins' Kyle Van Noy: Instrumental for Miami in 2020
Rotowire
Van Noy managed 69 tackles (46 solo), six sacks, six defended passes, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries across 14 games in 2020.
Van Noy was a consistent playmaker for the Dolphins during his inaugural season with the team, despite dealing with a multitude of lingering injuries and being forced to miss two games. The 29-year-old's versatility, which allows Miami to utilize him in coverage and as a pass rusher in addition to defending the run, provide him a considerable fantasy ceiling in IDP formats. After taking the offseason to get back to full health, Van Noy will return as an integral part of Miami's linebacker corps again come 2021.

Dolphins' Kyle Van Noy: Ready for Week 16
Rotowire
Van Noy (hip) practiced without limitations Thursday and will play in Saturday's game versus the Raiders, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.
After a pair of limited sessions, Van Noy proved he's at 100 percent for this weekend's AFC clash. The 29-year-old linebacker has posted six sacks through 12 games; he sits just a half-sack shy of tying his career high in the category.

Dolphins' Kyle Van Noy: Remains limited Thursday
Rotowire
Van Noy (hip) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
The veteran has been dealing with his hip issue since Nov. 15, having sustained the injury in-game during a Week 10 home matchup against the Chargers. Van Noy has mostly proven capable of fighting through, sitting out Week 14, but otherwise suiting up in every contest since the initial injury. This week, he's been limited for all three of the Dolphins' practices. If able to get the nod for a Saturday night road trip to Las Vegas, the 29-year-old year has a chance to break his career high in sacks (six), should he reach the quarterback one more time.

Dolphins' Kyle Van Noy: Playing against former team
Rotowire
Van Noy (hip) is officially active for Sunday's divisional game against the Patriots.
Van Noy missed last week's game against the Chiefs, but after practicing on a limited basis this week, it was hard to see the veteran miss the game against his former team.

Dolphins' Kyle Van Noy: Questionable against former team
Rotowire
Van Noy (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Patriots, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.
Van Noy logged three straight limited practice sessions this week, but he remains uncertain for Sunday's game against the Patriots, with whom he played 51 games over four seasons before signing in Miami. If Van Noy is ultimately ruled out, Sam Eguavoen and Andrew Van Ginkel are both alternatives to start in his place.

Dolphins' Kyle Van Noy: Still managing injury
Rotowire
Van Noy (hip) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports
Van Noy was forced to miss last week's loss to the Chiefs with the nagging hip injury and he appears to be still managing the injury. The Dolphins missed his veteran presence Sunday as they gave up 33 points to Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. Van Noy is still on track to return in Week 15, but if he's unable to go again, Sam Eguavoen and Andrew Van Ginkel would be the primary benefactors of more snaps on defense.

Dolphins' Kyle Van Noy: Questionable with hip injury
Rotowire
Van Noy (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Van Noy's coming off a three-sack performance that doubled his season total, so his presence will be key to Miami's upset bid against the defending champs. If the veteran linebacker ends up sitting out, Sam Eguavoen would likely absorb most of the snaps vacated by Van Noy.

Dolphins' Kyle Van Noy: Limited in return to practice
Rotowire
Van Noy (hip) logged a limited practice session Thursday, Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald reports.
Van Noy was unable to practice in any capacity Wednesday, so this update provides at least some hope that he will be able to suit up Sunday in a road trip to the Mile High City. The 29-year-old linebacker sustained the injury during a Week 10 win over the Chargers, but he was capable of finishing out the game upon his third-quarter return. If Van Noy can avoid missing any time with his most recent issue, it would be another advantage for Miami's defense in a matchup against the Broncos' 28th-ranked scoring offense.

Van Noy went down in clear pain during the first half and immediately went to the blue medical tent. He recorded three tackles (one solo) before leaving. Sam Eguavoen and Andrew Van Ginkel should both see upticks in usage while Van Noy is on the sidelines.

Dolphins' Kyle Van Noy: Going to play after all
Rotowire
The Dolphins activated Van Noy off the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, indicating that he'll play Sunday versus the Chargers.
Coach Brian Flores said Friday that Van Noy wouldn't be ready in time for Sunday's game, but this transaction contrasts that and puts the veteran linebacker on track to play. This is good news for the Dolphins' sturdy defense, as he's piled up 33 tackles, two sacks, two pass breakups and two forced fumbles through seven games.
