The Miami Dolphins are under pressure to decide on Bradley Chubb's return by Wednesday, following their recent victory over the San Francisco 49ers that keeps their playoff hopes alive. Head coach Mike McDaniel indicated that discussions regarding Chubb's status will occur soon, as he has yet to be activated from the Reserve/PUP list.
Chubb has been sidelined all season due to a knee injury, and the team must weigh the benefits of his return against financial implications, including a potential $20 million cap savings next offseason.
Additionally, the Dolphins are monitoring injuries to cornerback Kendall Fuller and linebacker Jordyn Brooks, while Jaylen Waddle's status remains uncertain as he recovers from a knee injury. McDaniel is cautious about Waddle's return, emphasizing the need to protect him from overexertion.
