Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver said Friday that Chubb (knee, PUP) remains without a timetable for return, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Chubb is eligible to come off the reserve/PUP list next week, but it sounds like that's not going to happen. The 28-year-old edge rusher tore his ACL in Week 17 last season but has been taking part in defensive and positional meetings this season. Weaver said he does "feel" Chubb will play at some point this season. Jaelan Phillips, Emmanuel Ogbah and rookie Chop Robinson have paced Miami in pass-rushing snaps off the edge through three weeks.

Dolphins' Bradley Chubb: Shifts to PUP list
Rotowire
The Dolphins placed Chubb (knee) on the active/PUP list Thursday.
Chubb is working his way back from a right ACL tear suffered in Week 17 last season, so it's likely that his recovery will drag into the early portions of the 2024 campaign, at the least. Miami also placed fellow linebackers Jaelan Phillips (Achilles) and Cameron Goode (kneecap) on the PUP ahead of training camp, a reminder that this pass-rush unit will likely be significantly depleted to begin the year.

Dolphins' Bradley Chubb: ACL tear confirmed
Rotowire
Chubb tore his ACL during Sunday's Week 17 loss to Baltimore, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Chubb went down with Miami trailing by 30 late in the fourth quarter and appeared to be in significant pain. It was reported after the game that the Dolphins feared an ACL tear, and that diagnosis has now been confirmed. As such, Chubb's season is over, and he finishes with a career-high 74 tackles (45 solo), including 11.0 sacks -- his most since his 2018 rookie campaign. Melvin Ingram and Cameron Goode are leading candidates to absorb Chubb's role moving forward for Miami.

Dolphins' Bradley Chubb: Exits game with knee injury
Rotowire
Chubb (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Dan Hanzus of NFL.com notes that Chubb appeared to sustain a noncontact knee injury and was carted off the field. The nature of his injury doesn't look good for his chances to play in the Dolphins' regular-season finale against the Bills. Chubb finished the game with six tackles (three solo).

Rotowire
Chubb registered three tackles (two solo), including a sack, in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Patriots.
Chubb got to Mac Jones on a first-down play at the end of the third quarter on a drive that culminated in a three-and-out for New England. Chubb is now up to five sacks on the season and leads the Dolphins' defense in that category. He'll look to pad his total in Week 9 against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in Germany.

Rotowire
Chubb notched seven tackles, one sack and one forced fumble during Sunday's 24-17 win over New England.
Chubb filled out the stat sheet versus the Patriots on Sunday Night Football, capping his day with a sack in the fourth quarter.

Dolphins' Bradley Chubb: Contract restructured
Rotowire
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: Will play Sunday
Rotowire
Chubb (ankle) is active Sunday against the Jets.
Chubb missed Week 17 against the Patriots, but he'll return to play Week 18. His ability to suit up is certainly a boon for the team's defense, as they work to secure a playoff spot with a win over the Jets.
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.

Dolphins' Bradley Chubb: Doesn't practice Wednesday
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. The severity of the ankle issue remains unclear, but Chubb will have two more opportunities to practice before the Dolphins need to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots.

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.

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.

Broncos' Bradley Chubb: Looks good in practice
Rotowire
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.

Broncos' Bradley Chubb: Hoping to avoid IR
Rotowire
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.
