Overview
- Chop Robinson was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday practice and has entered the NFL concussion protocol, leaving his status for Sunday’s game at San Francisco unresolved.
- Robinson must complete the league’s five-step concussion process, including a full-contact practice without symptoms, by the end of the week to be eligible for Week 2.
- Miami added long snapper Cal Adomitis to the practice squad after Tucker Addington was limited, creating insurance for a special-teams role that nearly caused trouble in Week 1.
- If Robinson cannot play the Dolphins will lean on a shallow edge group of Josh Uche, Clelin Ferrell, Robert Beal Jr., Malik Herring and practice-squad options while using more linebacker blitzes to generate pressure.
- The situation matters beyond one game because Robinson is entering a pivotal third season for his career and the Dolphins face a potent 49ers offense, with other injuries such as Ronnie Harrison’s hamstring also being monitored.
