Dolphins' Ashtyn Davis: Career-high tackles in 2025
Rotowire
Davis tallied 65 tackles (43 solo) across 15 regular-season games with the Dolphins in 2025. He also had four passes defensed, including one interception, and one forced fumble.
Davis played out the 2025 campaign on a one-year, $1.22 million contract with Miami, setting him up to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason. The 29-year-old safety was relatively unreliable in coverage despite handling an every-down role when healthy for the Dolphins in 2025, making it likely that he'll have to compete during the offseason in order to secure a sizeable workload again for 2026.

Dolphins' Zach Sieler: Production dips in 2025
Rotowire
Sieler made 47 tackles (29 solo), including 5.5 sacks, across 17 regular-season games in 2025. He also had one pass defensed and one fumble recovery.
Sieler played two more games in 2025 than he did in 2024, but he nonetheless finished with just more than half the 10.0 sack total he had managed in each of Miami's prior seasons. The 30-year-old defensive tackle is under contract with the Dolphins through 2029, but the team will have a potential "out" in his contract after the 2026 campaign, making it potentially crucial for Sieler to bounce back to his usual production level next season.

Dolphins' Bradley Chubb: Wraps 2025 season with 8.5 sacks
Rotowire
Chubb tallied 47 tackles (24 solo), including 8.5 sacks, across 17 regular-season appearances in 2025. He also had two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.
Chubb saw his production totals decline compared to last season, despite the fact that he played one more game in 2025. Across 16 regular-season appearances in 2024, he managed 73 tackles (45 solo), including 11.0 sacks, plus two passes defensed, six forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. Chubb will look to rebound in 2026, when he will play out the final season of his contract with the Dolphins.

Dolphins' Tyrel Dodson: Surpassed 100 tackles in 2025
Rotowire
Dodson tallied 129 tackles (72 solo), including 5.0 sacks, across 16 regular-season appearances in 2025. He also had three passes defensed, including one interception, plus one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
Dodson managed the first 100-tackle season of his NFL career while joining Jordyn Brooks as the only every-down starter in Miami's linebacker corps. He's slated to play out the final year of his contract with the Dolphins in 2026. Dodson will be a solid bet to reach the 100-tackle threshold again in 2026 as long as the offseason additions Miami brings to the linebacker corps don't threaten to infringe on his starting role.

Dolphins' Jordyn Brooks: Leads league in tackles
Rotowire
Brooks racked up a league-leading 183 tackles (99 solo), including 3.5 sacks, across 17 regular-season appearances in 2025. He also had three passes defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
Brooks led the league in terms of total tackles in 2025 but fell one short of the career-high mark he notched back in 2021, while a member of the Seahawks. The 28-year-old linebacker, who is now heading into the final season of his contract with the Dolphins, has solidified himself as a premier run defender and high-end fantasy asset in IDP formats.

Dolphins' Chop Robinson: Inactive for Week 18
Rotowire
Robinson (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Robinson will remain in the league's concussion protocol for Sunday's regular-season finale, and the second-year pro will end the 2025 campaign with 21 tackles (10 solo), including 4.0 sacks, one pass defense and one forced fumble across 15 games. Derrick McLendon is poised to see more snaps at defensive end opposite Bradley Chubb in Robinson's absence.

Dolphins' Chop Robinson: Won't play at New England
Rotowire
Robinson (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Robinson will miss his second game of the season in Week 18, this time due to a concussion he suffered in Week 17 versus the Buccaneers. In his absence, Derrick McLendon could be a candidate for snaps on the edge opposite Bradley Chubb.

Dolphins' Jordyn Brooks: Good to go vs. New England
Rotowire
Brooks (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Brooks earned the questionable tag for Week 18 after logging a limited practice Friday. The sixth-year pro has been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups, and at 174 combined tackles through 16 regular-season games, Brooks will have an opportunity to secure the title as the NFL's leading tackler for 2025.

Dolphins' Chop Robinson: Chance to play Week 18
Rotowire
Robinson (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against New England, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Robinson ended the week with back-to-back limited practices while in the league's concussion protocol, and while he's listed as questionable, he wouldn't be allowed to play Sunday unless he is cleared by an independent neurologist. Kenneth Grant and Zeek Biggers would take on larger roles on defense if Robinson is unable to play in the Dolphins' regular-season finale.

Dolphins' Jordyn Brooks: Iffy to play Week 18
Rotowire
Brooks (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Brooks missed the first two practices of Week 18 prep while tending to a hamstring injury he sustained against the Buccaneers in Week 17. The NFL's leading tackler earned the questionable tag after logging a limited session Friday, and his status will be officially known when the Dolphins announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Brooks has yet to miss a game this season, but K.J. Britt and Willie Gay would be poised to start at linebacker if Brooks is unable to play.

Dolphins' Minkah Fitzpatrick: Won't play Week 18
Rotowire
Fitzpatrick (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
The 29-year-old is in line to miss his third consecutive game due to a calf injury sustained in the Week 15 loss to the Steelers. Across 14 games this season, Fitzpatrick tallied 82 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, six passes defensed, with one interception, and one forced fumble. Ifeatu Melifonwu is expected to operate as Miami's top free safety in Fitzpatrick's stead Sunday.

Dolphins' Chop Robinson: Upgrades to limited Thursday
Rotowire
Robinson (concussion) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Robinson was held out of Wednesday's practice, so his ability to log a limited session Thursday indicates that he is progressing through the league's concussion protocol. Even if he were to practice in full Friday, Robinson would need to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Patriots. Rookies Kenneth Grant and Zeek Biggers would see increased work on defense if Robinson is unable to play Week 18.

Dolphins' K.J. Britt: Begins Week 18 prep as FP
Rotowire
Britt (groin) practiced fully Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Britt suffered a groin injury in this past Sunday's win over Tampa Bay, but the issue doesn't appear to be serious. Given that he was able to practice in full Wednesday, it's likely Britt will be healthy enough to suit up for the Dolphins' season finale Sunday versus New England. Britt's playing time has been inconsistent this season, but he could see more defensive snaps than usual Week 18 if Jordyn Brooks (hamstring, DNP on Wednesday) is unable to suit up.

Dolphins' Chop Robinson: Doesn't practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Robinson (concussion) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Robinson entered the league's concussion protocol during the Dolphins' Week 17 win over the Buccaneers. Even if he were to return to practice over the next two days, he would need clearance from an independent neurologist to exit concussion protocol and be available for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Patriots. If Robinson is unable to play, then rookies Zeek Biggers and Kenneth Grant would be in line for larger roles on the Dolphins' defensive line.

Dolphins' Minkah Fitzpatrick: Sidelined for Wednesday's practice
Rotowire
Fitzpatrick (calf) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Fitzpatrick has been sidelined for each of the Dolphins' last two games due to a calf injury he sustained against the Steelers in Week 15. He hasn't been able to practice since the injury, and he would likely have to log at least a limited session over the next two days to have a realistic chance of playing against the Patriots in Sunday's regular-season finale.

Dolphins' Jordyn Brooks: Officially listed as DNP
Rotowire
Brooks (hamstring) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's practice report, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Brooks sustained a hamstring injury during the Dolphins' Week 17 win over the Buccaneers. The NFL's leading tackler was spotted working with trainers during Wednesday's practice but did not participate in scrimmage reps, per Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald. Brooks will have two more opportunities to return to practice ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Patriots.

Dolphins' Jordyn Brooks: Working with trainer
Rotowire
Brooks (hamstring) was spotted working off to the side with a trainer during Wednesday's practice, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports.
Despite sustaining a hamstring injury in the Week 17 win over the Buccaneers, Brooks is fighting to play in Sunday's matchup against the Patriots. The Texas Tech product has had an incredible 2025 campaign for the Dolphins, recording 174 total tackles (most in the NFL), including 3.5 sacks, three passes defensed and one forced fumble across 16 appearances. His practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he'll be available for Miami's season finale in New England on Sunday.

Dolphins' Jack Jones: Career-high 10 tackles in win
Rotowire
Jones logged 10 tackles (eight solo) and a pass defense during the Dolphins' 20-17 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Jones recorded double-digit tackles for the first time in his four-year NFL career Sunday, and his eight solo stops were also a career best. He joined the Dolphins on a one-year contract in late July after being released by the Raiders in April, and through 16 regular-season games he has accumulated 73 tackles (47 solo), six pass defenses and two forced fumbles.

Dolphins' Jason Marshall: Picks off Mayfield in Week 17 win
Rotowire
Marshall logged eight tackles (four solo) and two pass defenses (one interception) during the Dolphins' 20-17 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
The rookie fifth-rounder recorded season highs with eight tackles and 57 defensive snaps Sunday, and he logged the first interception of his NFL career after jumping in front of a deep pass from Baker Mayfield that was intended for Jalen McMillan late in the second quarter. Marshall has stepped into a more prominent role in the Dolphins' secondary as of late, coinciding with the absences of Storm Duck (knee - IR) and JuJu Brents (foot - IR). Marshall will look to finish his first NFL season strong this Sunday against the Patriots.

Dolphins' K.J. Britt: Dealing with groin injury
Rotowire
Britt (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers.
Britt suffered an apparent groin injury in the second half, placing some doubt on his ability to return to action. In his absence, Jackson Woodard could see some added snaps at middle linebacker behind starter Tyrel Dodson.
