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.

Dolphins right tackle Austin Jackson and outside linebacker Jaelan Phillips, who ended the season on injured reserve with knee injuries, said Monday that they will be ready to play by the start of next season.

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said Tuesday that LB Bradley Chubb, who has not played since suffering a right knee injury last season, will be placed on season-ending injured reserve.
