Dodson tallied 129 tackles (72 solo), including 5.0 sacks, across 16 regular-season appearances in 2025. He also had three passes defensed, including one interception, plus one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

EDGE Analysis

Dodson managed the first 100-tackle season of his NFL career while joining Jordyn Brooks as the only every-down starter in Miami's linebacker corps. He's slated to play out the final year of his contract with the Dolphins in 2026. Dodson will be a solid bet to reach the 100-tackle threshold again in 2026 as long as the offseason additions Miami brings to the linebacker corps don't threaten to infringe on his starting role.

Dodson recorded five tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Dolphins' 20-17 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Dodson was credited with a seven-yard sack of Baker Mayfield late in the third quarter, when the veteran signal caller recovered his own fumble and ran out of bounds. That brought Dodson up to 5.0 sacks through 15 regular-season games, which surpasses his total of 4.5 sacks across the two prior seasons combined. His 121 combined tackles on the year is a career high, and this Sunday's AFC East tilt against the Patriots marks his final opportunity to add to his total this season.

Dodson (chest) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

EDGE Analysis

Dodson drew the questionable tag for Week 17 after a DNP/LP/FP practice log, and he has been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. In the four games since the Dolphins' Week 12 bye, Dodson has accumulated 29 tackles (19 solo) and two pass defenses (one interception).

Dodson (chest) practiced in full Friday but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dodson is listed as having logged a DNP/LP/FP practice slate leading up to Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, which seemingly bodes well for his chances of gaining clearance for Week 17. The starting middle linebacker is managing a chest injury sustained Week 16 versus Cincinnati. His availability, or lack thereof, will be made official roughly 90 minutes ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Dodson (chest) was listed as a limited practice participant on Thursday's estimated report, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dodson is working through a chest injury that he likely picked up during the Dolphins' Week 16 loss to the Bengals. He would likely avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers if he were to practice in full Friday. Dodson has accumulated 116 combined tackles through 14 regular-season games, which is the first time in his six-year NFL career that he has reached the tackling century mark.

Dodson (chest) was a non-participant in practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dodson logged a 95 percent defensive snap share in Sunday's loss to Cincinnati, but it appears he also picked up a chest injury. Beginning the week as a DNP isn't a great sign, but it's unclear how serious the issue is. Dodson will likely need to return to practice in some capacity over the next two days to have a chance of suiting up against Tampa Bay on Sunday.

Dodson logged eight tackles (five solo) during Miami's loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Dodson finished second on the team in tackles behind Jordyn Brooks' 14 (nine solo) during the loss. The 27-year-old has already compiled a career-best 116 tackles (68 solo), including 4.0 sacks, and one interception across 14 outings, and he'll look to keep producing during the Week 17 matchup versus Tampa Bay.

Dodson compiled 10 tackles (eight solo) during Miami's loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Dodson had a strong performance despite the loss, finishing second on the team in tackles behind Jordyn Brooks' 13. The 27-year-old is having the best season of his career, having already set new personal bests in both tackles and sacks, and he will look to add to his totals across the Dolphins' final three games of the campaign.

Dodson (hamstring) is not listed on Thursday's injury report, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dodson had to be evaluated for a hamstring issue during Sunday's win over the Jets, but it appears he's back to full health and ready for Monday's game against the Steelers. Prior to being hampered by a hamstring injury Week 14, Dodson had strung together four consecutive games playing at least 95 percent of defensive snaps.

Dodson (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Jets, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dodson sustained a hamstring injury early in the second half, and his status for the rest of the game is now in question. In his absence, K.J. Britt is likely set to take on the lion's share of Dodson's workload at middle linebacker.
