Dolphins | Zach Sieler to miss some time Wed Aug 12, 01:18 PM
Miami Dolphins DT Zach Sieler (undisclosed) is considered week-to-week because of an undisclosed injury, according to head coach Jeff Hafley.
Link to storyMiami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane could have games in which he touches the ball more than 40 times, HC Jeff Hafley said during an interview on the 'The Rich Eisen Show,' on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
| Footballguys view: Earlier this year, Achane said Dolphins OC Bobby Slowik wants to be run-heavy in 2026. That being said, 40 touches is a bit ridiculous for one game....and Achane is unlikely to get that heavy of a workload. Achane did say he wanted to lead the league in rushing this year, and if his body holds up he could be in line to do just that. He's got a current ADP of RB6 (2.05) in 12-team PPR leagues. |
Free-agent CB Nick McCloud (Bears) has signed with the Miami Dolphins, according to a source on Monday, Aug. 10.
Link to storyNew England Patriots OT Caedan Wallace was acquired by the Miami Dolphins Monday, Aug. 10, in exchange for a 2028 sixth-round draft choice. The Dolphins will also receive a 2029 seventh-round draft choice in the trade.
Link to storyMiami Dolphins PK Zane Gonzalez (undisclosed) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Monday, Aug. 10.
| Footballguys view: Gonzalez has been competing with Riley Patterson, who was excellent for the Dolphins last year, making 93% of his field goals - a franchise record. As Footballguy Sigmund Bloom noted this week, Gonzalez has been the more accurate kicker to date in camp, but there's no reason to believe the Dolphins won't be comfortable rolling with Patterson again this fall. Gonzales, meanwhile, will miss the entire season unless the Dolphins release him. |

Miami Dolphins RB Anthony Hankerson was waived Monday, Aug. 10.
Link to storyMiami Dolphins TE Greg Dulcich (hand) fully participated in practice Monday, Aug. 10.
| Footballguys view: Dulcich has been working in a red no-contact jersey. He's dealing with a right hand or finger injury that was reportedly heavily taped, so his return to full-contact work is encouraging. Once healthy, Dulcich is expected to operate as the top receiving tight end in a new-look Dolphins offense that lacks an established pecking order among its pass catchers. |
Miami Dolphins DE Clelin Ferrell (undisclosed) will miss several weeks because of an injury.

Miami Dolphins QB Mark Gronowski was waived Friday, Aug. 7.
Link to storyMiami Dolphins TE Greg Dulcich (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day because of an undisclosed injury.
| Footballguys view: The team has revealed that Dulcich's injury is to his right hand/finger and that he may miss a week or two before he returns. The tight end has a chance to lead the team in targets and receptions because the wide receiver group is inexperienced. The sooner he can take reps with new starting quarterback Malik Willis, the better. |
Former New England Patriots TE Jeremiah Franklin was claimed off waivers by the Miami Dolphins Wednesday, Aug. 5. The team also placed DT Rene Konga (undisclosed) on the Reserve/Injured list.
Link to storyMiami Dolphins DT Rene Konga (undisclosed injury) will miss the entire 2026 NFL season, according to HC Jeff Hafley on Tuesday, Aug. 4.

Link to storyMiami Dolphins WR Caleb Douglas has been stringing together solid practices during training camp and had his 'best day' thus far on Friday, July 31, according to Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com
| Footballguys view: Douglas was taken in the third round by the Dolphins even though many had him rated as a late third day pick. He is a speedy, long-framed receiver and the team believes he can do more than he was asked to do at Texas Tech. With fellow third round receiver Chris Bell still recovering ACL surgery, Douglas has a chance to seize a starting role in this almost completely unsettled WR depth chart. |
Updating previous reports, Miami Dolphins LB Jordyn Brooks received a three-year, $48 million base extension. He's fully guaranteed $26.5 million with $2.5 million more in March 2027. He can earn $825,000 in annual incentives.

Miami Dolphins WR Kevin Coleman Jr. and WR Caleb Douglas both 'looked explosive' after the catch during training camp Wednesday, July 29, according to Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com.
Link to storyMiami Dolphins OT Austin Jackson (toe) said he feels 'better than his normal self' during training camp after dealing with a toe injury last season.
Link to storyMiami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (shoulder) has been fully cleared for training camp, according to head coach Jeff Hafley. Achane is expected to be a full participant in practice.
| Footballguys view: Achane had cleanup surgery on his shoulder after the season, and the expectation was that he would be ready for training camp. The Dolphins signed Achane to a four-year, $64 million contract extension this month. It's unlikely they would have made that commitment if they weren't confident in his long-term health. Achane has been a high-end producer since his rookie season, but with the Dolphins starting a rebuild, 2026 will be the biggest challenge of his career. The uncertainty due to the changing circumstances has Achane falling into Round 2. |
Free-agent DE Clelin Ferrell (49ers) was signed by the Miami Dolphins, according to a source on Monday, July 27. The Dolphins also waived DL Kahlil Saunders.

Miami Dolphins WR Caleb Douglas has a chance to earn a starting role this season, according to Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network.
| Footballguys view: A third-round pick out of Texas Tech in the 2026 NFL Draft, Douglas has a great size-speed combination. With a large wingspan and the ability to take the top off the defense, Douglas could be a big-play weapon for QB Malik Willis. However, he needs to play with more physicality at the catch point and cut down on his concentration drops to truly play up to his potential. We'll see in training camp and the preseason how the Dolphins' WR depth chart shapes up with Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert, Tutu Atwell, and Douglas competing for the top spots. |
Miami Dolphins CB Storm Duck (knee) and CB Darrell Baker Jr. (undisclosed) were placed on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list Thursday, July 23.
Link to storyFree-agent QB Jack Plummer (UFL) is scheduled to work out for the Miami Dolphins at some point next week, according to a source.
Link to storyMiami Dolphins LB Jordyn Brooks signed a three-year, $51 million deal on Wednesday, July 22, with $35 million guaranteed.
| Footballguys view: Brooks, 28, led the NFL in combined tackles (183) and solo tackles (99) last season en route to being named a first-team All-Pro. The rebuilding Dolphins view the linebacker, C Aaron Brewer, and RB De'Von Achane as foundational pieces to build around. |

The Dolphins have placed rookie WR Chris Bell, who is recovering from a torn ACL while at Louisville last December, on the active/NFI list.
| Footballguys view: Once he's ready, Bell will compete with Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert, and Tutu Atwell, along with fellow rookies Caleb Douglas and Kevin Coleman, for playing time. Bell is an eventual WR1 candidate for Miami. But with the team in rebuild mode, there's no reason to rush Bell into the fray. |
Miami Dolphins LB Jordyn Brooks agreed to a three-year, $51 million deal Tuesday, July 21, with $35 million guaranteed.
| Footballguys view: The rebuilding Dolphins have shed several veterans this offseason but prioritized extending their remaining leaders, with Brooks being the latest example. The Dolphins also reached extensions with running back De'Von Achane and center Aaron Brewer this offseason. Brooks, 28, led the NFL in combined tackles (183) and solo tackles (99) last season en route to being named a first-team All-Pro. |

Miami Dolphins CB Storm Duck (knee) may return to the field soon, but it is not known if he will be ready for training camp.
Link to storyMiami Dolphins WR Jalen Tolbert is emerging as the top target of QB Malik Willis heading into training camp, according to the Sun Sentinel's David Furones.
| Footballguys view: Tolbert brings a specialized skill that has caught our attention in the past. Most notably, a breakout 2024 season, when he caught 49 passes for 610 yards and seven touchdowns for the Cowboys. All seven of his receiving touchdowns came in the red zone, tied for the fifth-most among wide receivers that season. As Athlon's Doug Farrar suggested, Tolbert may have been a No. 2 or No. 3 receiver on other rosters, but opportunity knocks in Miami. That's why the reported connection with Willis is worth noting. So is the fact that Tolbert is being drafted as WR99. |
Miami Dolphins RB Anthony Hankerson, who played his school football in the competitive South Florida area, is a candidate for the practice squad. He is battling RBs Donovan Edwards and Carlos Washington Jr. on the depth chart behind veteran RBs De'Von Achane, Ollie Gordon II and Jaylen Wright.
Link to storyMiami Dolphins RB Carlos Washington Jr. has some special teams experience in the NFL, but he is expected to be a practice squad candidate behind RBs De'Von Achane, Ollie Gordon II and Jaylen Wright. RB Donovan Edwards is another player expected to be a practice squad guy.
Link to storyMiami Dolphins RB Donovan Edwards was signed in January after spending most of the year in 2025 on the Washington Commanders practice squad. As long as RBs De'Von Achane, Ollie Gordon II and Jaylen Wright remain healthy, Edwards is expected to be a practice squad candidate in South Florida, too.
Link to storyMiami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane's 5.62 yard per carry for his career is the best mark of any running back in NFL history with a minimum of 500 carries.
| Footballguys view: Achane has been historically efficient since his rookie season. As his workload has grown, his efficiency has cooled off slightly, but he is still among the elite. His game-breaking quickness consistently turns minute gains into chunk plays. 2026 is set to be the biggest challenge of his career, where he will be the lone weapon with Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and Tua Tagovailoa all gone. The uncertainty about his outlook has him falling into Round 2, where his range of outcomes is vast. |
Miami Dolphins RB Ollie Gordon II and RB Jaylen Wright will compete for the No. 2 running back job during training camp.
| Footballguys view: Achane is the clear top dog here, and there might not be much left over in what projects to be a low-scoring Dolphins' offense. We'll keep an eye on this battle throughout training camp, but both running backs would be an injury away from a meaningful workload. |
Miami Dolphins OT Patrick Paul received a 66.2 overall grade and ranked 45th out of 89 qualified tackles in 2025, according to Pro Football Focus. This was an improvement from a 44.9 overall grade, which put him No. 79 out of 81 qualified tackles in 2024.
Link to storyMiami Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley is 'hopefully' that LB Chop Robinson can become an every-down player in 2026.
Link to storyMiami Dolphins LB Jordyn Brooks is 'likely' to get an extension from the team, according to ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques.
| Footballguys view: General manager Jon-Eric Sullivan identified running back De'Von Achane, center Aaron Brewer, and Brooks as the three "pillars" the team wants to build around -- and said he would prioritize extending those players in that order. Miami has reached extension agreements with Achane and Brewer, leaving Brooks as the lone unsigned pillar. Brooks has expressed multiple times his interest in remaining with the Dolphins long term, and Miami isn't exactly flush with extension-eligible players. We'll be watching for more on this. |

Miami Dolphins TE Greg Dulcich emerged 'as one of the primary targets' in the passing game this spring, according to ESPN.com's Marcel Louis-Jacques.
| Footballguys view: During team drills, Willis demonstrated clear trust in Dulcich, who was one of the best tight ends in the league last season at making plays after the catch. He returned from injured reserve in Week 8 and finished the season averaging the second-most yards after catch per reception (7.6) in that span. While the former Bronco is best viewed as a late flier or potential waiver-wire add once the season opens, Miami's lack of high-end talent at wideout could lead to better-than-expected production from Dulcich. |
Miami Dolphins WR Jalen Tolbert was a favorite target for QB Malik Willis during offseason workouts and will likely be a candidate to start if he stays healthy, in the opinion of The Miami Herald's Omar Kelly.
| Footballguys view: There is a slight drumbeat to what we're hearing about Tolbert this offseason. The Dolphins' passing attack relies on Willis progressing as a passer. There is perhaps more fantasy meat on the bone with guys like Tolbert than some would currently think. Dolphins HC Jeff Hafley said the team's passing offense is "a work in progress." Put a pin in this, and circle back during the preseason to see if this OTA storyline continues. |
Miami Dolphins WR Malik Washington is becoming more than just a weapon out of the slot,' according to head coach Jeff Hafley. 'I think he's getting better as a route runner,' Hafley said.
| Footballguys view: Washington's game is all about explosion and run-after-the-catch ability. Earlier reports out of Dolphins camp this year indicated Washington seemed to be picking up the offense faster than the other receivers. We'll see what kind of noise he can make in training camp and the preseason as Washington's connection with QB Malik Willis should be monitored closely. He's a WR6/deep flex for Fantasy GMs, but the upside is there for him to be more. |
Miami Dolphins OT Carter Warren reverted to injured reserve from a previous 'waived-injured' designation, according to a source on Tuesday, June 16.
Link to storyMiami Dolphins C Aaron J. Brewer agreed to terms on a three-year contract extension with the Dolphins Wednesday, June 10, worth $52.5 million. The extension includes $37 million in guaranteed money.
Link to storyMiami Dolphins QB Malik Willis looked 'more comfortable' with the team's offense this week, according to head coach Jeff Hafley.
| Footballguys view: In fact, Hafley, who was around Willis for the last two seasons with the Packers, told reporters on Tuesday that Willis has "looked as good as he's looked since I've known him." Willis, 27, played well when called upon as Green Bay's backup over the last two seasons. In his 11 appearances with three starts, Willis completed 79 percent of his passes for 972 yards with six touchdowns and no interceptions. He also rushed for 261 yards with three TDs in that span. That rushing equity makes him an interesting prospect at his current QB21 ADP. |
Miami Dolphins WR Kevin Coleman Jr. has been the team's best rookie receiver and should be the starting slot receiver, in the opinion of Omar Kelly of The Miami Herald.
| Footballguys view: As Footballguy Sigmund Bloom suggested, Coleman projects as the most reliable wide receiver in a low-volume pass offense, which isn't worth chasing in rookie drafts. |
Miami Dolphins CB Jason Marshall Jr. will be moving back outside, after moving to nickelback in his rookie season out of necessity due to numerous injuries in the secondary. 'Primarily he has and will be on the outside for us, and I think he's done a really good job,' coach Jeff Hafley said. However, Marshall has still taken some reps on the inside this offseason. He is expected to compete for a starting job, with DBs Julius Brents and Storm Duck in the mix, as well as Christopher Johnson, Darrell Baker Jr. and Marco Wilson in the mix.

Updating a previous report, Miami Dolphins WR Caleb Douglas (undisclosed) suffered an injury during the mandatory minicamp, but head coach Jeff Hafley said Douglas will hopefully return to the field next week.
| Footballguys view: Douglas, a third-round pick out of Texas Tech, is a player we are intrigued by in dynasty formats. He's a big receiver (6-feet, 4-inches tall) who can blaze down the field with 4.39 speed. Douglas has inconsistent hands and needs to learn how to use his frame better to box out smaller defenders, but the physical tools are there for him to be a weapon in this league. He will need time to hone his skills, but we see some Marquez Valdes-Scantling in his game when fully developed. |
