The most intriguing of all is defensive end Bradley Chubb, who spent the four seasons in Miami and could be a solid addition to the Patriots' pass rush. The 29-year-old was a first-round draft pick in 2018 and hasn't always played like his draft status, but he could be what their defense needs in the midst of their retooling, especially if they're unsure about bringing back K'Lavon Chaisson or how Harold Landry III might fare after potentially having surgery this offseason.

On the short week coming off the Dolphins' stunning 34-10 win against the Atlanta Falcons, Chubb first surfaced on the Monday injury report with the two ailments after making it through the game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. On Tuesday, both Chubb and coach Mike McDaniel said they expected him to be ready to play. "I'm very confident, unless there's a setback, that he'll be playing," McDaniel said. "He has given me zero indication that he wouldn't." "I'll be good," Chubb added. "It is just one of those things, you got a short week, things flare up from the game before, you just want to make sure you get on it and correct it."

Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb have been teammates since Chubb's 2022 acquisition, but they have only played together for 16 games out of 43.
