Bradley Chubb will remain on the Reserve/PUP list for the 2024 season, as confirmed by Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel. Chubb has been sidelined all year due to a significant knee injury from 2023 and will not be activated by the Christmas Day deadline.

Despite the Dolphins' slim playoff chances, McDaniel emphasized that the decision was based on Chubb's readiness rather than team performance. The Dolphins will continue with their current pass rushers, while Chubb's future remains uncertain due to contract implications.

The Miami Dolphins faced a tough challenge against the Green Bay Packers in Week 13, struggling to perform against quality competition. Despite a commendable comeback attempt after trailing 27-3, the Dolphins fell short, highlighting issues with their defense and running game.

Key players like Tua Tagovailoa and Jaylen Waddle showed glimpses of potential, but the team's overall performance was marred by injuries and missed opportunities. The Dolphins' inability to convert crucial plays ultimately sealed their fate in this matchup.

The Miami Dolphins have opted to keep linebacker Shaquil Barrett on the Reserve/Retired list for the entirety of the 2024 season, despite his desire to return. This decision came as a surprise to head coach Mike McDaniel, especially with the recent injury of Tyus Bowser.

Barrett's absence means the Dolphins will not benefit from his experience or pass-rushing skills this season. The team is looking to maintain their playoff chances while keeping Barrett under contract for 2025.

The Miami Dolphins have confirmed the absence of three defensive players ahead of their Thanksgiving game against the Green Bay Packers. Cornerback Kendall Fuller and linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. were already ruled out due to injuries, and edge defender Tyus Bowser joins them with knee and calf issues.

Veteran tackle Terron Armstead is listed as questionable but showed signs of improvement, participating in a limited capacity during practice. Meanwhile, the rest of the active roster, including fullback Alec Ingold, was estimated as full participants.

Shaquil Barrett, a former NFL edge rusher, is seeking reinstatement after retiring just before the 2024 training camp. The Miami Dolphins hold his contractual rights, and his return could strengthen their pass rush, which is currently without Jaelan Phillips and has Bradley Chubb recovering from injury.

Barrett, a two-time Pro Bowler with a notable career, previously led the league in sacks. His potential return has garnered positive remarks from Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles, who believes Barrett could significantly impact the Dolphins' defense.
