Campbell (ankle/knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Rotowire
Brooks (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Bengals, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Rotowire
Fitzpatrick (calf) won't play Sunday against the Bengals, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Dolphins' Minkah Fitzpatrick: Sits out practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Fitzpatrick (calf) did not participate in Wednesday's walkthrough, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Fitzpatrick left Monday's game at Pittsburgh in the fourth quarter after suffering a calf injury, and now his availability for Week 16 is in jeopardy. Coach Mike McDaniel said Tuesday that Fitzpatrick was week-to-week, and Miami has already been eliminated from playoff contention, so the five-time Pro Bowler probably won't be rushed back into game action before he's fully healthy.

Rotowire
The Dolphins waived Judon on Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
The 33-year-old appeared in 13 games with the Dolphins before being waived on Wednesday, recording 19 total tackles and one pass defensed. Judon has been a very productive pass rusher over the course of his 10-year NFL career, totaling 72.0 sacks. Now a free agent, he could be picked up by a team in need of edge-rusher depth in the near future.

Rotowire
Dodson compiled 10 tackles (eight solo) during Miami's loss to the Steelers on Sunday.
Dodson had a strong performance despite the loss, finishing second on the team in tackles behind Jordyn Brooks' 13. The 27-year-old is having the best season of his career, having already set new personal bests in both tackles and sacks, and he will look to add to his totals across the Dolphins' final three games of the campaign.

Cam Smith: Works out for Kansas City
Rotowire
The Chiefs hosted Smith (undisclosed) for a workout Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Smith was waived from the Dolphins' reserve/non-football injured list in late September due to an undisclosed injury, but he has recovered enough to start trying out with teams. The 2023 second-rounder will look to join a team in need of a contributor on special teams who can also provide depth in the secondary.

Dolphins' Minkah Fitzpatrick: Week-to-week with calf issue
Rotowire
Coach Mike McDaniel said Fitzpatrick's (calf) injury should be filed in the week-to-week category, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Fitzpatrick exited Monday night's contest with a calf issue in the fourth quarter. After more tests on the issue, Fitzpatrick may be able to return for more regular-season football. The Dolphins have been eliminated from playoff contention. Still, with a chance to play spoiler for the Patriots' AFC East title hopes, Fitzpatrick could be back in action for Week 18, or maybe even sooner for Week 17 against the Buccaneers.

Dolphins' Minkah Fitzpatrick: Set for more tests on calf
Rotowire
Miami coach Mike McDaniel said after the team's loss to Pittsburgh on Monday that Fitzpatrick (calf) will undergo additional tests on his calf, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
Fitzpatrick exited with a calf issue in the fourth quarter and didn't end up returning to the game. The results of the upcoming tests should provide some clarity about how serious the injury is. The Dolphins were eliminated from playoff contention with their loss Monday, so the team probably isn't going to rush Fitzpatrick back into action if the issue is more than minor.

Fitzpatrick had to exit the field slowly in the fourth quarter and immediately went to the medical tent. He began testing out his calf on the sideline shortly thereafter, but it's unclear if he's going to be able to re-enter the contest. Fitzpatrick had tallied six tackles prior to his departure.

Andre Carter: Let go by Miami
Rotowire
The Dolphins waived Carter on Monday.
The move corresponds with the Dolphins signing Quinton Bell from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Monday night's game against the Steelers.

Dolphins' Chop Robinson: Will play Week 15
Rotowire
Robinson (oblique) does not carry an injury designation for Monday's matchup against Pittsburgh, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
Robinson has been dealing with an oblique issue that resulted in him recording consecutive limited practices to begin this week. However, with a full session under his belt Saturday, the second-year pro is good to go for Monday's contest. Robinson has been on a roll of late, posting 2.5 sacks over his past two games after notching just 1.0 sacks across his first 10 contests of the campaign.

Dolphins' Ifeatu Melifonwu: Cleared to suit up Monday
Rotowire
Melifonwu (thumb/groin) does not have an injury designation for Monday's Week 15 clash against the Steelers, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
A pair of injuries held Melifonwu to consecutive limited practices to begin the week, but he was able to record a full session Saturday. As such, the defensive back is good to go for Monday Night Football. Melifonwu has often worked in a rotational role in the Dolphins' secondary but has logged a snap count above 50 percent in each of the team's past four games.

Dolphins' Rasul Douglas: Will suit up Week 15
Rotowire
Douglas (foot) does not have an injury designation for Monday's battle against Pittsburgh, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
Douglas upgraded to a full practice Saturday after being limited the first two sessions this week. As such, he is clear of an injury designation and will take the field on Monday Night Football. Douglas should serve in his usual role as Miami's starting slot cornerback.
Campbell (ankle) logged a limited practice Friday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Campbell hurt his ankle and knee in Miami's win over the Jets in Week 14. After being sidelined Thursday, he managed to log a limited session Friday, and he is trending positively toward being available Monday against the Steelers.

Dolphins' Caleb Johnson: Moved to IR
Rotowire
The Dolphins placed Johnson (shoulder) on injured reserve Friday.
Johnson suffered a shoulder injury in the Dolphins' Week 14 game against the Jets and was unable to return to the game. The linebacker was also unable to practice Thursday with a shoulder injury deemed severe enough to move him to injured reserve. The 27-year-old will be unable to return for the rest of the regular season, with his only hope of suiting up again being if the Dolphins can make a wild-card push. In Johnson's absence, K.J. Britt and Willie Gay will likely see more defensive reps at strongside linebacker.
