Dolphins schedule 2024: Home games, dates, opponents
The Dolphins play eight home games in the 2024 NFL regular season, starting with the Jaguars and Bills and finishing with the 49ers.
Bradley Chubb led the Miami Dolphins with 11 sacks in 2023.
Unfortunately, he tore an ACL in Miami’s 16th game of last season. Who knows what kind of impact he may have had in the season-finale vs. Buffalo and a playoff loss at Kansas City.

Chubb, 27, is in the absolute prime of his career and he’s living up to his status as the fifth pick of the 2018 NFL Draft. He was acquired from Denver for a 1st round pick.
Why Bradley Chubb is No. 6
Chubb is a two-time Pro Bowler with the size, power and speed to wreak havoc.
Chubb led the way as Miami set a club record with 56 sacks last season.
And he causes turnovers. Chubb tied for the NFL lead with six forced fumbles.
Chubb is close with fellow edge rusher Jaelan Phillips and once healthy, the duo should be a dominant force for Miami again.

88.8: That was Chubb’s 2023 Pro Football Focus grade, a career high.
How we see Bradley Chubb’s future
This is Chubb’s second torn ACL and it certainly seems possible he’ll begin next season on the PUP (physically unable to perform list), which would take him out of at least four games.
Could it take some time for Chubb to regain his explosiveness? Sure.
In 2019, Chubb tore an ACL in Week 4, which allowed more time for recovery. He rebounded with 7.5 sacks the next season.
Chubb is in the second year of a 5-year deal worth $22 million per season. He’s a core component to Miami’s defense and figures to be that way for at least the next two seasons.

Grim testimony was presented Thursday in a Miami courtroom during a bond hearing for two teenagers charged as adults in the alleged rape of a 12-year-old girl at an Overtown apartment building last summer.

The testimony happened as attorneys for 13-year-old Nelson Nuñez and 12-year-old Jusiah Jones requested that the youngsters be released on bond. The case is being heard by Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge Richard Herschel.
Detective Louis Joseph testified that the suspects “held her down” and that the attack “went on for 30 minutes.” He said rocks were placed in her mouth to silence her during the attack and that Jones was accused of doing that.
“The victim had rocks in her mouth and spat out the rocks. The victim did not tell her father because she was afraid she would get into trouble,” Joseph stated.
Jones’s attorney argued that his client was forced by the others involved to place the rocks in the girl’s mouth and claimed Jones never participated in the sexual assault or held the girl down. The attorney said the suspects threatened to punch Jones if he did not participate and that Jones actually tried to stop the attack.
Nelson Nuñez’s brother, father, and mother testified through a translator, saying Nuñez would be well supervised if allowed out on bond, was not a danger to the community, and would not flee. They also said he had no prior criminal history. Nuñez’s soccer coach, a family member, said, “He’s a very good kid. I would say he is a follower. He does not fight or curse.”

Nuñez is being represented by defense attorney Bijan Parwaresch, a former prosecutor.
Judge Herschel said he wanted to hear more testimony before ruling on the bond and scheduled the hearing to continue at 9 a.m. Monday.

Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra after their loss to the Charlotte Hornets: “That was disappointing to see. There were parts of the game where it was just highly competitive, both sides. Both teams were going back and forth. It was set up to be a great finish. Once they got it to 10, that’s when it really changed and the floodgates went from there.”
“So, it’s a disappointing end to that game and now we just have to focus on getting ready for Thursday. We’ll learn what we can but we have to move on and get on to the next fight and make sure we’re ready and do what we need to do for Thursday night.”
