Bradley Chubb is still on the Miami Dolphins’ physically unable to perform (PUP) list and that won’t be changing anytime soon.
“He’s not on my radar right now because guys get on my radar when they start getting close,” Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said of Chubb on Monday. “I just check in to make sure things are going appropriately and we don’t have major things happen. I don’t see that timeline.
“I think having a ACL plus in terms of what type of injury he had around New Year’s Day, I wasn’t expecting him as of yet, and I think he’s going to continue to work to try to get back sooner than later, but it’s not on my immediate horizon.”
That’s bad news for a Dolphins defense that has struggled to generate much of a pass rush in 2024. After recording three sacks in both their first and third games of the year, Miami has failed to record any sacks in the last two weeks.
Those struggles were exacerbated by the loss of Jaelan Phillips to a season-ending knee injury and, more recently, a fractured orbital for Zach Sieler.
Chubb, 28, had 11 sacks and a league-leading six forced fumbles when he suffered a season-ending ACL tear late in the 2023 season.
