The Miami Dolphins’ two-time Pro Bowl pass rusher Bradley Chubb will be back on the practice field Wednesday as he works toward making his season debut, head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Monday.
Along with Chubb, the Dolphins will also open the 21-day practice window for outside linebacker Cameron Goode, who has also spent the first three months of the season on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list.
Chubb, 28, suffered an ACL tear in Week 17 of the 2023 season. Goode ruptured his patellar tendon a week later in the Dolphins’ regular season finale.
While Jaelan Phillips also suffered a season-ending injury in 2023, he managed to return for Week 1 of the 2024 season. However, it was short-lived and he landed on injured reserve after suffering a knee injury in Week 4 that required surgery.
Instead, the Dolphins have relied on veteran Emmanuel Ogbah and first-round rookie Chop Robinson to generate the majority of the pass rush off the edge. While the latter had a strong November, Miami ranks 31st in the NFL sacks with only 21 through 12 games.
Chubb recorded 11 sacks last season and led the NFL in forced fumbles with six. Both of his Pro Bowl nods came earlier in his career while with the Denver Broncos.
Goode, a seventh-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft, played all 17 games last season but the majority of his snaps came on special teams.
