Chubb agreed Thursday to restructure his contract with the Dolphins, Mike Masala of USA Today reports.
The Dolphins will save $14.66 million against the cap by restructuring Chubb's contract, likely by converting base salary amounts into signing bonuses. The star edge rusher could find himself in prime position to have his talents maximized in 2023, with new defensive coordinator Vic Fangio having taken the reins.

Dolphins' Bradley Chubb: Officially questionable
Rotowire
Chubb (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Jets, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Chubb was sidelined for Miami's Week 17 loss to New England due to an ankle injury that popped up late in the week, but he'll have a chance to return Sunday after submitting back-to-back limited sessions to end Week 18 prep.

Dolphins' Bradley Chubb: Unavailable for practice
Rotowire
Chubb (ankle) was held out of practice again Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Head coach Mike McDaniel believes that Chubb is making progress ahead of the team's Week 18 must-win regular season finale versus the Jets, but he remained off the practice field Wednesday. The 26-year-old is dealing with an ankle injury, which forced him to miss the Dolphins' Week 17 loss to the Patriots. If Chubb is unavailable Sunday, Andrew Van Ginkel would likely see an increase in usage against New York.
Chubb (ankle) is a game-time decision to play Sunday versus the Patriots, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Chubb has been hobbled by an ankle injury all week after dealing with a hand injury in Week 16 against the Packers. Head coach Mike McDaniel expects to know Chubb's status following the team's pregame workouts in Week 17. If the linebacker can't go, Andrew Van Ginkel would likely step into a starting role at strongside linebacker versus New England.

Rotowire
Chubb (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
Chubb suffered an apparent hand injury during the first half of Miami's Christmas Day loss to Green Bay, but he eventually returned to the contest. However, the sixth-year pass rusher is now dealing with an ankle injury and didn't practice to start Week 17 prep.

However, he sustained a hand issue in the first quarter, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to return.

Rotowire
Chubb (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus Green Bay, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Dolphins' Bradley Chubb: Inks five-year extension
Rotowire
Chubb and the Dolphins agreed Thursday on a five-year, $110 million contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Miami traded a 2023 first-round pick, a 2024 fourth-round selection and running back Chase Edmonds to Denver on Tuesday in exchange for Chubb and a 2025 fifth-round pick, so it's no surprise that one of the team's immediate priorities was to negotiate a new long-term contract with its new edge rusher. Per Schefte, Chubb's extension is worth $110 million with incentives that could boost the total to $111.25 million, and includes $63.2 million guaranteed. The outside linebacker already has 5.5 sacks through eight appearances this season, and he will get a chance to boost those numbers while joining a unit that already includes Emmanuel Ogbah, Jaelan Phillips and Melvin Ingram.

Dolphins' Bradley Chubb: Moving on to Miami
Rotowire
The Broncos agreed to trade Chubb to the Dolphins on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
According to Schefter, Chubb and a 2025 fifth-round pick will be moved for a 2023 first-round pick, a 2024 fourth-round selection and running back Chase Edmonds. Chubb currently is playing out the fifth-year option on his rookie contract and will join Emmanuel Ogbah, Jaelan Phillips and Melvin Ingram to form a formidable pass rush in Miami. In 49 career games, Chubb has 33 tackles for loss, 26 sacks and six forced fumbles. Schefter adds that the Dolphins are expected to work out a long-term extension with Chubb, though that could hinge on how the edge rusher fares in his initial action with Miami.

Broncos' Bradley Chubb: Records 2.5 sacks in loss
Rotowire
Chubb recorded seven tackles (four solo), 2.5 sacks and one forced fumble in Thursday's 12-9 loss to the Colts.
Chubb's 2.5 sacks were the most of any Broncos defender in the contest, and his seven total tackles were tied for the second most. It appears that the veteran linebacker is ready to lead the Denver defense after missing all but seven games in 2021. Chubb will have a chance to build upon his early success in Week 6 when the Broncos visit the Chargers.

Broncos' Bradley Chubb: Kicks off year with two sacks
Rotowire
Chubb notched five tackles (four solo), two sacks and one forced fumble during Monday's 17-16 loss to the Seahawks.
Chubb looks like himself after having been limited to seven games in 2021, and he operated as one of Denver's lone bright spots on defense Week 1. Multiple ankle injuries prevented Chubb from recording a single sack last season, but he will have another chance to build upon his 2022 total Week 2 versus the Texans.

Broncos' Bradley Chubb: Expects to rebound this season
Rotowire
Chubb, who finished the 2021 campaign with 21 tackles and zero sacks in seven games, believes that he's poised to bounce back this coming season, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
Unlike last summer, when the 26-year-old was hampered by an ankle issue during the offseason, Chubb approaches training camp minus any injury concerns and looks forward to rebounding in 2022. "I feel like things have been building up and building up and it's finally time to let it all out," noted the 2018 first-rounder, who earned a Pro Bowl nod in 2020. As long as he avoids any setbacks, look for Chubb to re-establish himself as a pass-rushing threat for Denver, and in turn an IDP factor, while manning a starting outside linebacker slot opposite newcomer Randy Gregory.

Broncos' Bradley Chubb: Questionable with shoulder injury
Rotowire
Chubb (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Chubb dealt with an ankle injury this season, but this is the first we're hearing of a shoulder problem for Denver's 2018 first-round pick. He's been limited to three appearances during the campaign and is still searching for his first sack after totaling 7.5 in 14 games last season.

Chubb has reportedly looked good in practice in his effort to return from IR. He's missed all but Week 2 so far this season, so it makes sense to ease him back into action.

Broncos' Bradley Chubb: Looks good in practice

Chubb (ankle) has looked and felt good in practice this week according to head coach Vic Fangio, George Stoia III of The Denver Gazette reports.
Chubb was designated to return from IR on Nov. 22 and subsequently returned to practice with the team Monday. With a 21-day window to return, Chubb does not need to be rushed back, but he could suit up as soon as Sunday against the Chargers.

Broncos' Bradley Chubb: Back at practice
Rotowire
Broncos head coach Vic Fangio said Chubb (ankle) will return to practice Monday, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.
Denver likely will designate Chubb for return from injured reserve later Monday, thereby opening a 21-day window in which the edge rusher can be evaluated in practice. Chubb first injured his ankle in a Sept. 19 game against the Jaguars and was placed on IR three days later. He then underwent arthroscopic surgery to remove a bone spur and received an estimated recovery timeline of 6-to-8 weeks, so he could have an outside shot at returning to action Sunday against the Chargers if he looks good in his return to practice.

Broncos' Bradley Chubb: Undergoes successful surgery
Rotowire
Chubb's ankle surgery went very well and the veteran should be 100 percent when he returns to the field this season, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Broncos' coach Vic Fangio told reporters the arthroscopic procedure was a "roaring success." Chubb will likely be sidelined for the next 6-to-8 weeks as he recovers from Wednesday's ankle surgery. In Chubb's absence, Malik Reed is expected to fill in at outside linebacker.

The Broncos are not considering the short-term injured reserve for Chubb (ankle), but continue to evaluate their options, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
Chubb aggravated his ankle in Sunday's victory over the Jaguars. He missed Week 1 due to the same injury, so it looks like he may have rushed back a little early. Look for the Broncos to exercise caution with him going forward.

Broncos' Bradley Chubb: Ruled out of Sunday's game
Rotowire
Chubb (ankle) won't return to Sunday's game against Jacksonville.
Considering he missed Week 1 with the injury and left so early in this one, this is definitely not a good sign. Jonathon Cooper's playing time looks secure, at least for the remainder of Week 2.
