Channing Tindall has been inactive for every game this season, sitting fifth on the depth chart at inside linebacker behind David Long Jr., Jordyn Brooks, Duke Riley, and Anthony Walker Jr. His lack of playing time raises questions about his future contributions, especially after he played only 20 defensive snaps as a rookie in 2023 under former defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. The Dolphins could have benefitted from selecting Leo Chenal, who now starts for the Chiefs, highlighting a potential missed opportunity in the draft.
