Here’s why Bradley Chubb is No. 6 on our Dolphins’ Top 20 players countdown
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.
Telling stat
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.

Miami Police lieutenant arrested on domestic violence charge
A Miami Police lieutenant has been arrested on a domestic violence charge after he allegedly spit at and slapped his wife.
Lt. Thomas L. Carroll, 47, was arrested Saturday on a battery – domestic violence charge, an arrest report said.
According to the report, Carroll and his wife were involved in an argument when Carroll allegedly spit at her around 10 times.
He also allegedly slapped her twice in the face, the report said.
The wife ran out of the house and called police. The report said she didn’t have visible injuries but added that two witnesses corroborated her allegations.
Thomas was booked into jail and later released. Attorney information wasn’t available.
In a statement, Assistant Chief of Police Armando Aguilar said Carroll was relieved of duty pending further investigation.
“The Miami Police Department is committed to serving victims of domestic violence and holding the perpetrators of such crimes accountable for their actions. When acts of domestic violence are perpetrated by law enforcement officers, they are especially disheartening, as they represent a breach of the sacred trust placed in us by the people we serve,” Aguilar said in a statement. “We wish to thank the victim and witnesses in this case for coming forward. We are committed to ensuring that a thorough investigation is conducted and that the victim receives all necessary support throughout this process.”
Aguilar said Carroll was at one point an assistant chief of police but has been a lieutenant in the field operations division since 2023.
