Dolphins Pass Rusher Questionable For Sunday


The Miami Dolphins were the biggest winners of the recent NFL Trade Deadline, as they added young running back Jeff Wilson, as well as the biggest name available on deadline day in Bradley Chubb, in the hopes of pairing him with Jaelan Phillips, as the team have just 15 sacks on the season, the lowest in the entire NFL. Unfortunately, just days away from their Week 9 matchup with the Chicago Bears, Phillips has popped up on the teams Injury Report, and has become questionable for the road trip to Chicago. 

It's reported that he has a quad injury, and while it's seemingly not considered serious, it's enough for him to be placed on the injury report, which isn't a good sign just days away from a crucial matchup. If the Dolphins can have Chubb and Phillips going against a young QB in Justin Fields, along with their incredibly explosive offence, this could be the team to beat in the back half of the 2022 NFL season.

This is a situation certainly worth monitoring over the next day, and while a week off wouldn't hurt a team that is capable of scoring just as much as anyone in the entire NFL, they certainly don't want to start having the injuries pile up like other teams in the league are currently dealing with.
