Chop Robinson: Everything you need to know

Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley said Tuesday that Robinson (concussion) "needs to become a complete football player going into Year 3 and we have high expectations for him," Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports. "Hopefully [Robinson] becomes an every-down player," Hafley said. The 2024 first-round pick missed Week 18 of the 2025 season due to a concussion, but he's been a full participant at voluntary OTAs, per Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post. Robinson has flashed as a pass rusher, totaling 10.0 sacks across his first two seasons against the league, but his inconsistent performance against the run has limited his total workload, as he played just 415 defensive snaps across 15 regular-season appearances last year. Robinson has added seven pounds of muscle this offseason, which he hopes to help him transition into an every-down role following the release of Bradley Chubb (now with Buffalo).

Robinson (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots. Robinson will remain in the league's concussion protocol for Sunday's regular-season finale, and the second-year pro will end the 2025 campaign with 21 tackles (10 solo), including 4.0 sacks, one pass defense and one forced fumble across 15 games. Derrick McLendon is poised to see more snaps at defensive end opposite Bradley Chubb in Robinson's absence.

Robinson (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against New England, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Robinson ended the week with back-to-back limited practices while in the league's concussion protocol, and while he's listed as questionable, he wouldn't be allowed to play Sunday unless he is cleared by an independent neurologist. Kenneth Grant and Zeek Biggers would take on larger roles on defense if Robinson is unable to play in the Dolphins' regular-season finale.
