Dolphins' Bradley Chubb: Questionable to play vs. Jets
Rotowire
Chubb (knee) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Chubb is in the final stages of his recovery from a torn ACL that he suffered in Week 17 of the 2023 regular season. He was designated to return from the Dolphins' reserve/PUP list Wednesday, and he participated in practice all week in a limited capacity. If he's ruled out for Sunday's AFC East clash, then Chubb's next opportunity to play would be Week 15 against the Texans on Sunday, Dec. 15.

Dolphins' Bradley Chubb: Not returning this week
Rotowire
Head coach Mike McDaniel said Thursday that Chubb (knee) won't be activated from the PUP list ahead of Monday's game against the Rams, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
McDaniel expressed optimism earlier in the week that Chubb might be able to get back onto the practice field this week, but the edge rusher will apparently require more rehab time. Emmanuel Ogbah, Chop Robinson and Tyus Bowser will continue to serve as Miami's primary edge rushers in Week 10.

Dolphins' Bradley Chubb: Return date still murky
Rotowire
Head coach Mike McDaniel stated Monday that Chubb (knee) coming off the PUP list isn't "on his radar right now," Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports.
Chubb has been on the shelf since suffering an ACL tear in Week 17 last season and seems to have no definitive return timeline. However, McDaniel did note that Chubb is "going to continue to work to get back sooner than later." With a return unlikely for Sunday's game against Buffalo, his next potential debut date would be Week 10 against the Rams.

Rotowire
Coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that he doesn't expect Chubb (knee) to return from the Dolphins' PUP list in Week 7, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Even with the benefit of a bye in Week 6, it looks like Chubb is going to have to wait at least one more game to make his 2024 season debut. Miami figures to square off against the Colts with Emmanuel Ogbah and rookie Chop Robinson as its top edge rushers.

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: 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.

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.

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.

Rotowire

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.
