- Coach Mike McDaniel confirmed the setback is unrelated to Jackson’s 2024 knee issue and projects him to start Week 1 against the Colts.
- Miami signed veteran offensive lineman Germain Ifedi, waived quarterback Brett Gabbert and activated safety Ifeatu Melifonwu to clear roster space.
- Backup tackles led by Larry Borom, along with Ryan Hayes, Kion Smith, Braeden Daniels, Daniel Brunskill and Bayron Matos, are logging extended snaps to maintain line continuity.
