Dolphins' Chop Robinson: Won't play against Buffalo
Rotowire
Robinson (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Robinson managed to practice Friday in a limited capacity, but he will remain in the league's concussion protocol and not play in Sunday's AFC East tilt. His absence means Andre Carter and Matthew Judon should see an uptick in snaps at defensive end opposite starter Bradley Chubb in Week 10. Robinson's next opportunity to play is Week 11 against the Commanders on Sunday, Nov. 16.

Dolphins' Chop Robinson: Unlikely to play vs. Bills
Rotowire
Robinson (concussion) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game versus Buffalo, Chris Perkins of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Per Perkins, coach Mike McDaniel said Friday, "I'm prepared for him not to play, but not ruling it out." Further hurting Robinson's chances is the fact that he'll need to clear league concussion protocol to be eligible to suit up in Week 10. If Robinson is indeed sidelined, veteran Matthew Judon would figure as a candidate to start on the edge opposite Bradley Chubb.

Dolphins' Chop Robinson: Questionable to face Bills
Rotowire
Robinson (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's road game against Buffalo, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Robinson has been listed as limited in practice leading up to Thursday's contest, which bodes well for his chances of suiting up, though two of Miami's three sessions were merely estimates. The second-year pro played just 38 percent of defensive snaps during the Dolphins' loss to the Patriots in Week 2, but he made an impact with two solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks.

Dolphins' Chop Robinson: Limited with knee issue
Rotowire
Robinson was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice due to a knee injury, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Robinson likely picked up the injury during the Dolphins' Week 2 loss to the Patriots on Sunday, when he logged two solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks. If he's not cleared to play against the Bills on Thursday, veteran Matthew Judon would be in line to see a significant increase in defensive snaps opposite fellow edge rusher Bradley Chubb.

Rotowire
Robinson (undisclosed) relayed Wednesday that the injury he suffered during practice is "nothing serious," Nick Pugliese and Tom D'Angelo of The Palm Beach Post report.

Dolphins' Chop Robinson: Exits practice early
Rotowire
Robinson (undisclosed) was carted off the field during Wednesday's joint practice with the Lions, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
The severity of Robinson's injury is still unknown. However, the team will be without a major piece of its front seven should the 22-year-old miss extended time. Miami's 2024 first-round pick made an immediate impact on defense last season, accounting for 26 tackles (16 solo), including six sacks, with starters Jaelan Phillips (knee) and Bradley Chubb (knee) missing a majority of the team's regular-season games.

Dolphins' Chop Robinson: Logs 6.0 sacks in rookie season
Rotowire
Robinson registered 26 tackles (16 solo), including 6.0 sacks, and four pass defenses across 17 regular-season games in 2024.
Robinson was Miami's first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, and he made an immediate impact for a Dolphins' defense that lost Jaelan Phillips (knee) after Week 4 and didn't have Bradley Chubb (knee) play in a single regular-season game. Robinson finished second on the team in sacks behind Zach Sieler (10.0), and the former finished second among NFL rookies in that category behind the Rams' Braden Fiske (8.5). Robinson earned a spot on ESPN's Ben Solak's 2024 NFL All-Rookie Team, and the Penn State product will look to carry that momentum into the 2025 campaign.

Dolphins' Chop Robinson: Reinforces pass rush in Miami
Rotowire
The Dolphins selected Robinson in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 21st overall.
Christian Wilkins' departure may have made defensive tackle an obvious need for the Dolphins, but Bradley Chubb (knee) and Jaelan Phillips (Achilles) both suffering season-ending injuries late in the year necessitated some edge help if the right player was available. The Dolphins landed on Robinson, a disruptive pass-rusher out of Penn State who had 9.5 sacks and 17.5 tackles for loss in two seasons at Happy Valley. Miami will have to tailor its scheme to get Robinson in the right alignment as he is just a touch under 6-foot-3 and 254 pounds. He has a motor and explosive athleticism (4.48 40-yard dash) but Robinson will need to develop his pass-rush moves as merely winning on athleticism will be difficult at his size.
