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 face increasing uncertainty at linebacker ahead of their Week 16 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Quinton Bell has been added to the injury report as questionable due to illness, further complicating the team's depth at the position.

Bell has stepped up in recent weeks, particularly after Tyus Bowser was placed on injured reserve. He has recorded 22 tackles and one sack this season. Alongside Bell, linebackers Bradley Chubb and Cameron Goode are also questionable, while several other key players are dealing with injuries.

The Miami Dolphins have had a challenging season, utilizing 71 different players, ranking them sixth in the NFL for player turnover. This includes a mix of starters and practice squad members, reflecting the team's dynamic roster changes as they navigate injuries and performance issues.

As they prepare for their Week 14 matchup, fans can review a comprehensive list of transactions, highlighting player signings, elevations, and injuries that have shaped the team's strategy throughout the season.

The Miami Dolphins welcomed back veteran long-snapper Blake Ferguson to practice after he was placed on the Reserve/Non-Football Illness list. His absence led to the team utilizing three different long snappers, with mixed results in terms of wins.

Ferguson is the sixth player from the Dolphins designated for return this season, joining a list that includes notable players like Tua Tagovailoa. The team is managing several injuries as they navigate the remainder of the season.

The Miami Dolphins are set to face the New York Jets for the first time this season, with Miami vying for an AFC Wild Card spot. Currently at 5-7, the Dolphins have shown resilience, winning three of their last four games despite a recent loss to the Green Bay Packers.

In contrast, the Jets are struggling at 3-9, having lost three straight games and eight of their last nine. As they head into this matchup, New York's road performance has been particularly poor.
