Dodson recorded nine tackles (four solo) in the Dolphins' loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.

Dodson has enjoyed a productive first half of the season, piling up 67 tackles (41 solo), including 3.0 sacks, one pass breakup and one fumble recovery across eight appearances, all starts. He previously missed one game due to a concussion.

Brooks recorded eight tackles (two solo) in the Dolphins' loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.

Brooks logged 95 percent of the defensive snaps against Baltimore and has been stuffing the stat sheet this season, posting an NFL-high 93 tackles (55 solo), including 2.5 sacks, and one fumble recovery across nine games. Brooks has played 97 percent of Miami's defensive snaps.

Starks recorded five tackles (five solo) and one interception in Baltimore's win over Miami on Thursday night.

Starks played all 64 defensive snaps, and his interception in the fourth quarter marked the rookie's first career pick. Tua Tagovailoa tried to hit Tahj Washington over the deep middle on the play. On the season, Starks has 49 tackles (28 solo) and one interception on 98 percent of the defensive snaps.

Hamilton recorded six tackles (three solo) in the Ravens' win over the Dolphins on Thursday night.

Hamilton recorded his second tackle for loss this season and logged 100 percent of the Ravens' defensive snaps against Miami. On the year, Hamilton is up to 49 tackles (26 solo) and two pass breakups across seven appearances. He's missed one game due to a groin injury.

Smith recorded 12 tackles (nine solo) in the Ravens' win over the Dolphins on Thursday night.

Smith also recorded one pass breakup, his first of the season. The veteran linebacker missed a pair of contests with a hamstring injury but returned to the lineup in Week 8. In two games since, Smith has racked up 24 tackles (16 solo) and the one pass breakup. He's up to 58 tackles (40 solo) across six contests this season.

Berrios (chest) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice.

That's two consecutive limited practices for Berrios leading up to Week 9 against Denver. He was a significant performer as a fill-in last week during a win over the 49ers, catching five of five targets for 38 yards, but a repeat effort appears unlikely. Even if healthy and ready to go Sunday, Berrios' usage as a receiver is expected to be curtailed. That's because injured wideouts Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring), both of whom practiced fully Thursday, look like they'll be available.

Bryant remained the lone healthy tight end on the active roster Thursday, when starter Dalton Schultz (knee/shoulder) missed a second straight practice, Aaron Wilson of the KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Although Schultz missed the first two practices in preparation for Week 9 against the Broncos, head coach DeMeco Ryans said Thursday that he expects the starting tight end to return later this week. If Schultz isn't available to play Sunday, Bryant would step in as the starter. In that event, he may not be a big part of the passing game plan, as it looks like Houston will be welcoming back wide receivers Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring), both of whom logged full practices Thursday.

Dulcich brought in all five targets for 49 yards in the Dolphins' 28-6 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.

Dulcich had spent the entire season on the Dolphins' practice squad until garnering active status for Sunday's Week 8 win over the Falcons, but Thursday marked his first time cracking the stat sheet. The 2022 third-round pick of the Broncos finished second in receptions and receiving yards on the night for Miami, and given the team's significant need for viable skill-position assets, Dulcich should have a good chance of remaining relevant in the air attack during a Week 10 home matchup against the Bills on Sunday, Nov. 9.

Washington brought in all three targets for 48 yards, rushed three times for 13 yards, returned two punts for 38 yards and lost a fumble in the Dolphins' 28-6 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.

Washington once again played a solid complementary role in the Dolphins' Tyreek Hill-less air attack, while also continuing to moonlight as an occasional rusher and primary punt returner. It was in the former capacity that Washington committed a key turnover Thursday, as he fumbled on the Ravens' 11-yard line early in the fourth quarter on his third and final carry of the night. The second-year wideout has between three and five catches in five consecutive games, and he should continue to handle multiple roles in a Week 10 home divisional clash against the Bills on Sunday, Nov. 9.

Likely secured three of four targets for 60 yards in the Ravens' 28-6 win over the Dolphins on Thursday night.

The third-year tight end came into the night with just a 5-26-0 line on five targets over his first four appearances of the season, so Thursday's performance qualified as a breakout effort. More than half of Likely's yardage came via a 35-yard grab on the final play of the first quarter, and he logged one more target than position mate Mark Andrews on the night. With his first productive game of 2025 under his belt, Likely may be more involved in the offense going forward while working with a now healthy Lamar Jackson.
