Dolphins' Jordyn Brooks: Notches 11 tackles in Week 8
Brooks recorded 11 tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Patriots.
Brooks led the Dolphins in tackles during the loss, which dropped Miami's record to 1-6. The 29-year-old linebacker has slowed down a bit after leading the NFL with 183 tackles (99 solo) during the 2025 regular season, though he's still averaging a respectable nine tackles per game in 2026. He could draw interest on the trade market from contending teams in search of help at linebacker.

Dolphins' Jordyn Brooks: Questionable with foot injury
Brooks (foot) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Brooks exited the first half of Sunday's game with a foot injury. The starting weakside linebacker is the lynchpin of the Dolphins' defense and would be a massive loss to the unit. Shaka Heyward will likely fill in opposite Willie Gay while Brooks is absent.

Dolphins' Jordyn Brooks: Busy in loss
Brooks recorded 13 tackles (five solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 15-10 loss at Minnesota.

Brooks uncharastically quiet, registering his fewest tackles in a game since Week 17 of the 2024 campaign. The linebacker notched a career-high 183 total tackles over 17 regular-season games in 2025, and he'll likely be more busy Week 3 versus the Chiefs.

Brooks (undisclosed) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Dolphins' Jordyn Brooks: DNP on Friday due to injury
Brooks (undisclosed) did not play in the Dolphins' 20-7 preseason loss to the Commanders on Friday due to a "minor" injury, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
The nature of Brooks' injury isn't clear, but his absence from Friday's contest was a precautionary move. The 2020 first-rounder can be considered day-to-day, so he could be available for the Dolphins' second preseason game against the Giants on Saturday, Aug. 22. Brooks inked a three-year, $51.3 million contract extension with Miami in late July after leading the NFL with 183 total tackles (99 solo) across 17 regular-season games in 2025.

Dolphins' Jordyn Brooks: Agrees to three-year extension
Brooks and the Dolphins agreed to terms Tuesday on a three-year, $51.3 million contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Brooks led the NFL with 183 total tackles (99 solo), including 3.5 sacks, last year while playing all 17 regular-season games, and he added three passes defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. He had been heading into the final year of his contract, but instead Brooks will remain with the Dolphins as a long-term pillar for the defense. The veteran LB has entrenched himself as a high-end fantasy asset in IDP formats, and Miami also brought in a younger player for him to mentor in the form of 2026 second-round pick Jacob Rodriguez.

The 28-year-old linebacker, who is now heading into the final season of his contract with the Dolphins, has solidified himself as a premier run defender and high-end fantasy asset in IDP formats.
