There haven’t been many updates about the health of Miami Dolphins outside linebacker Bradley Chubb, who suffered an ACL tear on New Year’s Eve last season. On Friday, Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver didn’t offer the most encouraging signs about Chubb’s return.
“I truthfully have no idea [when he’ll return],” Weaver told reporters Friday. “He’s in all of our meetings so he certainly gives me the feeling that we will see him at some point this year.”
Chubb, 28, is currently on the Dolphins’ physically unable to perform (PUP) list and is eligible to make his return as early as Week 5. But Weaver’s update doesn’t seem to indicate that the team expects to see the pass rusher back on the practice field next week.
Miami’s defense could use the boost, though. Through three weeks of the 2024 season, the Dolphins have recorded six sacks, more than only nine teams. Last year, the Dolphins’ 56 sacks ranked third most in the NFL. Four of Miami’s six sacks so far have come from defensive linemen Calais Campbell, Zach Sieler, and Da’Shawn Hand.
Chubb led the Dolphins in sacks last season with 11, the most he’s recorded since notching 12 as a rookie with the Denver Broncos in 2018.
