With the team depleted at the position, the team will be signing a cornerback to be named later, according to McDaniel, specifically one who can line up as a nickel. "Among several things, we will be adjusting our roster," McDaniel said. "We will be adding a nickel. ... We'll be adding a player, and then there will be some subsequent moves that we'll do throughout the week."

Free agent NFL wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who spent last season with the Miami Dolphins, revealed in an interview released Tuesday that he tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs for 2024. Beckham told NFL podcast "The Pivot" of the positive drug test that would've occurred while he was with the Dolphins. The one-time star who turns 33 within a month said he has no intentions of retiring at this point in time, and Beckham would be subject to a six-game suspension upon any return in which he signs with a team.

We talked about the challenge ahead to get ready for the Chargers. And that was kind of the extent of it.

"I think that it's not necessarily a change from the way we approach it and the way we see it, and I think he's done a fantastic job, being an elite receiver playing with another elite receiver. "As far as his game, he's very, very much ready for this moment as he has seen himself as a 1, and we've approached it the same way."

Paul, the 2024 second-round pick, has been the star of the two-year class and the top performer in the offensive line. Among players who have played at last 182 snaps, Pro Football Focus (PFF) has him as the NFL's eighth-best offensive tackle (and offensive lineman), allowing one sack, three hurries and four pressures in 223 snaps (100 percent of the snaps).

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Miami Dolphins linebackers coach Ryan Crow will remain on administrative leave following his August arrest for domestic battery, although the charge against him will reportedly be dropped, coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday. Independent reporter Andy Slater reported Wednesday morning that the misdemeanor charge against Crow will be dropped, but McDaniel said Crow will remain on leave pending a league investigation.

"In the moment, there were a couple things that occurred that we thought Daniel's veteran presence would be able to help us with," offensive coordinator Frank Smith said Friday. "It was a decision made at the moment that we thought would help. Ultimately, we talked with Kion. He's a great guy and he understands and he's preparing. We're all working together to make sure we can be on the same page and be successful Monday."

"Certainly let them know about that multiple times," Dolphins secondary coach Brian Duker said Friday. "I made a point of it. Continuing to attack the football, obviously the forced fumble element is a big part of it. Just trying to punch at the ball and create opportunities to take shots on goal. And then the interceptions, it's more just a matter of good vision, put the quarterback under stressful situations, break and hoping both those things come to life."

The Dolphins entered fourth in the NFL in rushing average through two weeks while dead last in rushing attempts. Against the Bills, they ran a solid 25 times, compared to 34 pass attempts, for 130 yards - a 5.2 yards-per-carry clip. Buffalo struggles in run defense, one of the few areas in which the top dog in the AFC East is not elite. So it was certainly an area to exploit.

Honestly in Chicago, with [Brooks and Dodson] -- [it was] players holding players accountable," linebacker Bradley Chubb told ESPN. "We were in the heat of battle, so it got a little bit more heated than it should have. ... Just guys getting in each other's face, but at the end of the day, knowing it's all love and this is about pushing each other to be the best. "It was probably the biggest turning point for our defense this offseason because we saw two alphas going at it and pushing each other to be better.

Perk's Best bet: De'Von Achane anytime TD (-115) Achane is Miami's most versatile offensive player, able to score via air or ground. He leads the team in touchdowns with a modest two. He's one of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's most trusted targets and he's coach Mike McDaniel's first, and almost only choice as a ball carrier out of the backfield. Furones' Best Bet: Dalton Kincaid over 30.5 receiving yards (-110)
