Rodriguez recorded 14 tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 27-13 loss at Las Vegas.

Dolphins' Jacob Rodriguez: Practices in full Wednesday
Rodriguez (undisclosed) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Rodriguez was considered day-to-day. However, his full participation at Wednesday's practice suggests he will be good to go for Week 1 versus Las Vegas. The 2026 No. 43 overall pick is coming off a sound season at Texas Tech in 2025, amassing 122 total tackles, four interceptions and 1.0 sacks in 14 games.

Dolphins' Jacob Rodriguez: Day-to-day with unknown issue
Rodriguez (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reported Friday.
Rodriguez picked up an injury in Thursday's practice. With the Dolphins' Week 1 showdown with the Raiders set for Sept. 13, the middle linebacker should still be all set to suit up for the contest. The second-round rookie is currently slated to be the primary backup for Tyrel Dodson throughout the 2026 season.

Dolphins' Jacob Rodriguez: Drafted by Dolphins
The Dolphins selected Rodriguez in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 43rd overall.
Rodriguez (6-foot-1, 231 pounds) began his collegiate career at Virginia as a quarterback, but he spent the next four seasons with Texas Tech, where he transitioned to linebacker and truly broke out in 2024 and 2025. Last year, Rodriguez earned unanimous All-American honors (plus numerous other awards) and finished fifth in terms of Heisman Trophy voting, totaling 128 tackles, including 1.0 sacks and 11.0 tackles for loss, plus seven forced fumbles, six passes defensed and four interceptions across 14 games. Jordyn Brooks and Tyrel Dodson are both positioned to hit free agency after the 2026 season, providing Rodriguez with a clear path to a starting gig in 2027 at the latest. Whenever Rodriguez does step into a starting role, his three-down skill set and playmaking instinct could provide notable upside in IDP formats.
