Dolphins Rule Out Bradley Chubb for Remainder of 2024 Season

The linebacker continues recovery from a significant knee injury as Miami faces long-shot playoff hopes.

Bradley Chubb, recovering from a severe knee injury suffered on December 31, 2023, will not return to play this season, the Dolphins announced ahead of the activation deadline.
The decision was made collaboratively between Chubb and the team, as he was deemed not yet ready to perform at his usual standard after extensive rehabilitation.
Chubb's injury, which involved tears to his ACL, meniscus, and patellar tendon, required a five-hour surgery and a year of recovery, with no setbacks reported during his practice window this month.
Rookie linebacker Chop Robinson has stepped up in Chubb's absence, recording six sacks and leading the NFL in quick pressure rates over the past two months.
Despite slim playoff chances, Miami's decision to keep Chubb sidelined was not influenced by their postseason standing or Robinson's emergence, according to head coach Mike McDaniel.
