Top David Long News

  • Dolphins' David Long: Leads Fins in tackles Thursday

    Long recorded 11 tackles (nine solo) during Thursday's 31-10 loss versus the Bills.

    The Bills were able to run the ball frequently in a lopsided win, creating a healthy number of opportunities for tackles for Long. He continued to play essentially an every-down role in Week 2, and as long as he retains that role, he figures to carry some IDP value in most formats.

  • Dolphins' David Long: OK after injury

    Long, who briefly left Sunday's 20-17 win over the Jaguars due to a hand injury, stated Monday that he is fine, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Long finished the day with eight tackles (seven solo) despite missing a few snaps with the injury. The veteran linebacker admitted his hand is "a little sore," but considering he was able to return to the game, it doesn't appear there will be any lingering effects with the injury. Long should be available for Thursday's divisional showdown with the Bills.

  • Dolphins' David Long: Questionable to return

    Long (hand) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

    The linebacker ran to the locker room holding his hand, per David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel. Long leads the Dolphins with seven tackles (six solo) in the game. Anthony Walker and Duke Riley are Miami's backup inside linebackers.

  • Dolphins' David Long: Comes off PUP list

    The Dolphins activated Long (undisclosed) from the active/PUP list Sunday.

    Long had been placed on the PUP list with an undisclosed issue Tuesday, but he's since been cleared to return to practice. The veteran linebacker is slated to play a near every-down role for the Dolphins' defense after racking up a career-best 113 tackles (64 solo) over 17 regular-season contests last year.

  • Dolphins' David Long: Placed on the PUP list

    Long (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list Tuesday.

    Long will be sidelined for the time being after landing on the PUP list. Once healthy, the 27-year-old should serve as a starter for Miami once again after racking up 113 tackles (64 solo) a season ago.

  • Dolphins' David Long: First career 100-tackle season

    Long racked up 113 tackles (64 solo), including one sack, one pass breakup and one forced fumble across 17 regular-season appearances with the Dolphins in 2023.

    Long surpassed the 100-tackle mark for the first time in his five-year NFL career while also tallying his first first-ever sack as a pro during a Week 2 win over New England. The 2024 campaign will mark the final season of his two-year contract with Miami, but his cap hit will grow to a sizeable $6.7 million, and the team has a potential 'out' with only $2.2 million in dead money this offseason. Of course, given Long's career-best 2023 performance, both sides should have mutual agreement on remaining united.

  • Dolphins' David Long: Will be available vs. Bills

    Long (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game versus the Bills, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Long was limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he was a full participant at practice Friday and will play Sunday. He projects to see plenty of work in Week 18 across from a Buffalo offense that has run the ball more often recently.

  • Dolphins' David Long: Limited participant again

    Long (knee) was a limited participant in practice for the second day in a row Thursday.

    The starting inside linebacker's status in Friday's practice may help determine whether he plays in Sunday's AFC East championship clash with the Bills. Long is Miami's leading tackler in 2023 with 103 stops.

  • Dolphins' David Long: Seven tackles in blowout loss

    Long had seven tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 56-19 loss to the Ravens.

    Long finished second on Miami's defense in tackles behind safety DeShon Elliott. Long played 47 snaps on defense Sunday, and it was the fifth straight game he has been on the field for at least 80 percent of the defensive snaps. His performance in Week 17 brought him to 102 tackles (55 solo) on the season, the first time in his five-year career he has reached the century mark in that category.

  • Dolphins' David Long: Solid in loss versus Titans

    Long logged eight tackles (five solo) in Miami's 28-27 loss to the Titans on Monday.

  • Dolphins' David Long: Productive in blowout win

    Long recorded eight tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 45-15 win at Washington.

    Long tallied eight-plus tackles for the seventh time in 12 games this season, tying for the team lead in that category in Week 13. He's on pace for his first 100-tackle season and profiles as a viable IDP option for Week 14.

  • Dolphins' David Long: Ties team lead in tackles

    Long recorded eight tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 21-14 loss to Kansas City.

    Long tallied at least eight tackles for the sixth time in nine games this season, good for a share of the team lead in that category in Week 9. He's on pace for his first 100-tackle campaign and projects as a fine IDP option for Week 11 when Miami hosts the Raiders following its Week 10 bye.

  • Dolphins' David Long: Gets in full practice

    Long (concussion) was a full participant at practice Wednesday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

    Long seems to be on track to play in Week 8, but there may still be outstanding steps for him to clear the league's concussion protocol. Miami's injury reports Thursday and Friday will shed more light on whether he'll be available Sunday versus New England.
