Aaron Brewer: Everything you need to know

Miami signed Brewer to a three-year, $52.5 million contract extension Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The deal makes Brewer one of football's highest-paid centers. He has missed just one game since signing with the Dolphins as a free agent in 2024, and the team is obviously counting on him to continue to be a reliable fixture on its offensive line for the long term.

Brewer (neck) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots. Brewer was sidelined in Week 17 versus the Buccaneers with a neck injury, but he's back in football shape for Sunday's contest. He projects to start at center against a tough New England defense in Week 18.

Brewer (neck) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. A neck injury prevented Brewer from playing in the Dolphins' Week 17 win over the Buccaneers, and he earned the questionable tag for Sunday's regular-season finale after logging a limited practice Friday. Andrew Meyer would likely start at center for a second consecutive game if Brewer is not cleared to return.
