What happened: The Miami Dolphins ruled out Chop Robinson for Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers after a Wednesday practice concussion kept him in protocol. Dolphins edge options Josh Uche, Clelin Ferrell and Malik Herring will rotate to chase 49ers QB Brock Purdy. The game closes a West Coast stay in Napa after the opener against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Why it matters: Robinson has 10 career sacks since going 21st overall in 2024 and logged three pressures in Week 1. His 2025 season included two concussions that cost him two games, so depth behind him matters. If Miami cannot generate pressure without him, it confirms his value over scheme.
