In a significant update from the Miami Dolphins camp, the team revealed on Thursday that two of their key pass rushers, Bradey Chubb and Jaelan Phillips, have been placed on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list. The decision does not come as a surprise, considering the nature of their injuries.
Chubb, who is recovering from a torn ACL, and Phillips, who is on the mend from a torn Achilles, both sustained their injuries late in the 2023 season. This unfortunate timing raises doubts about their availability for the upcoming regular season, as they may require more time for clearance.
However, it is important to note that players on the PUP list can be activated at any time. The Dolphins will closely monitor Chubb and Phillips' progress and assess when they can rejoin the team.
Joining them on the list are linebacker Cameron Goode and offensive lineman Isaiah Wynn. Goode concluded the previous season on injured reserve due to a knee injury, while Wynn's quad issue led to his inclusion on the PUP list. Like Chubb and Phillips, both players have the chance to return at a later date, pending their recovery progress.
Running back Salvon Ahmed finds himself on the non-football injury list, where he joins his teammates with a potential path to return. Ahmed's specific injury remains undisclosed, but like the others, he could be activated at any point once cleared by team medical staff.
The Dolphins organization will undoubtedly keep a close eye on the progress of these players, hoping for a timely recovery and their return to action. The absence of key pass rushers like Chubb and Phillips may present challenges for the team's defensive unit, underscoring the importance of a careful rehabilitation process.
As the regular season approaches, Dolphins fans eagerly anticipate updates on the health and availability of these notable players.
