The Dolphins placed edge rushers Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb on the active/PUP list to avoid early training camp setbacks. They also positioned other players on the NFI and PUP lists for flexibility. While both Chubb and Phillips are progressing, their return dates remain uncertain.

Replacement edge rushers and new running backs create depth for the team, giving injured players time to recover. The Dolphins are preparing for a competitive season by strategically managing player injuries and roster spots.
