MIAMI GARDENS — Miami Dolphins edge rusher Bradley Chubb won’t play this season, coach Mike McDaniel announced Tuesday. Chubb just isn’t ready to return from a serious knee injury that ended his 2023 season. Chubb had been practicing for weeks but he won’t be added to Miami’s roster before a deadline passes this week.

Outside linebackers Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb, along with right tackle Austin Jackson, should be healthy by the start of next season after none were available for the final stretch this year. Chubb suffered his ACL tear, plus injuries to a patella and meniscus, on Dec. 31, 2023, but his attempt to make it back to playing in 2024 fell short.

Miami Dolphins linebacker Bradley Chubb will not be activated Wednesday when his 21-day window to return concludes, coach Mike McDaniel said Tuesday.
