Dolphins' Zach Sieler: Out with undisclosed issue

According to head coach Mike McDaniel, Sieler likely would have been able to play in Saturday's exhibition game against Detroit had it been a regular-season contest, per C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald. The veteran defensive tackle is slated to be a key part of Miami's pass rush again in 2025 after racking up 10.0 sacks in each of the past two regular seasons.

Dolphins' Zach Sieler: Another double-digit-sack season
Zach Sieler made 55 tackles (28 solo), including 10.0 sacks, across 15 regular-season appearances with the Miami Dolphins in 2024. He also had two passes defensed, including one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.Sieler has now logged back-to-back seasons with exactly 10.0 sacks, despite some concerns that the offseason departure of Christian Wilkins (foot) would impact his ability to efficiently rush the passer. The 29-year-old is one of Miami's few true defensive standouts, so although the team has a potential 'out' on a contract that has two years remaining, the Dolphins will be incentivized to figure out a way to keep Sieler in house.
