Overview
- Second-year edge rusher Chop Robinson suffered an apparent injury during drills on Aug. 13 and was tended to on the field by defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver and teammate Jaelan Phillips before being carted off.
- The Dolphins have not disclosed the specifics or severity of Robinson’s injury and have signaled that further information will follow pending medical evaluation.
- Robinson’s potential absence would intensify Miami’s pass-rush concerns after prior season-ending injuries to Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips and recent losses at running back and in the secondary.
- Fifth-round pick Mohamed Kamara is positioned to take on a larger role at left defensive end if Robinson is ruled out for an extended period.
- This summer’s joint practices have been notably physical, producing skirmishes, practice turnovers by Tua Tagovailoa and exposing depth issues along Miami’s offensive line.
