Dolphins' Chop Robinson carted off joint practice with injury
Robinson, 22, was the Dolphins' first-round pick in 2024 and emerged as a star for the team's defense in the latter half of his rookie year. In the last nine weeks of the 2024 regular season, only the Dallas Cowboys' Micah Parsons was credited with recording more quarterback pressures than Robinson.
Details of the injury that ended his day in Detroit are unclear for now, although one onlooker observed Robinson appearing to be favoring his arm or shoulder.
While the Dolphins are relatively deep on the edge with both Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips set to return from injury in 2025, losing Robinson for an extended stretch would still be devastating for the team. The second-year rusher was a finalist for Defensive Rookie of the Year last season and his teammates have raved about his improvement and lofty ceiling.

Dolphins sign OL Yodny Cajuste
The Dolphins made a change to their offensive line on Thursday. They have signed tackle Yodny Cajuste and placed Germain Ifedi on injured reserve. Cajuste was a Patriots third-round pick in 2019 and he dealt with injuries in his first two NFL seasons. He played 17 games and made five starts over the next two seasons, but has not seen any regular season action over the last two years. He spent time with the Jets and Giants, but landed on injured reserve before being released each year. Ifedi signed with the Dolphins on August 3 while dealing with a number of injuries on their offensive line. Austin Jackson, Liam Eichenberg, and Bayron Matos have all been out of action this summer.

Tua Tagovailoa: We didn't have the energy we're used to in practice with Lions
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel dismissed Lions linebacker Grant Stuard's musings about the Dolphins not being able to match his team's intensity in a joint practice as 'noise,' but one member of McDaniel's team feels there was a lack of juice on their side on Wednesday. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa called it 'a very frustrating day in regards to what we wanted to do' and was then asked to expand upon the things that frustrated him during the session. 'Some of the frustrating things like I said were we couldn't get ourselves jumpstarted as an offense,' Tagovailoa said, via a transcript from the team. 'We couldn't gain that momentum to where, OK, all we needed was one play and then jumpstart the offense whether it was move the ball, whether it was one of the third down team periods, another team period, red zone. It just felt like we didn't have the energy that we're used to when we practice and when we play against opponents, so that's what I'm talking about when I talk about it was frustrating today.' Tagovailoa's comments focused on the offense, but the Dolphins defense had a hard time as well and the entire team failed to met the standard they needed to reach against an NFC contender. They have a chance to show that they can find the right level on Thursday and another rough day won't do much to support McDaniel's shrug at the notion that his team doesn't have the right intensity across their roster.

What Dolphins writers are saying about Lions' dominant joint practice
By now, you've likely read from multiple sources that the Detroit Lions had an absolutely dominant day of practice on Day 1 of joint practices with the Miami Dolphins. Chances are, though, you've mostly read those opinions from the Lions writers you know and love. But what did the Dolphins reporters on hand think of practice? Remember, Miami just completed joint practices with the Chicago Bears last week. They have a frame of reference and perhaps a different outlook on how things went down on Wednesday morning. So I've collected a bunch of resources from Miami writers to see what they thought of the Lions and if it was just as dominant as local reporters said. If you want to read some of those observations yourself, here are the resources I used:Miami Herald ( Smalls II): Dolphins stock report: Lions dominate Fins offensively and defensively Sports Illustrated (Alain Poupart): Dolphins 2025 Camp: Detroit First Joint Practice Recap Amon-Ra St. Brown 'is like that' If you haven't already seen the full minute of St. Brown highlights, go watch that now. Then enjoy these Dolphins writers fully understand why St. Brown is a two-time All-Pro. From Smalls: Stock Down: Defensive back Jack Jones: From the very beginning, Jones was chirping. The only issue was that he didn't back it up. St. Brown consistently torched the fourth-year corner who seemingly sought out the matchup against the three-time Pro Bowler. It didn't matter the period — 1-on-1s, 7-on-7s, 11-on-11s — if St. Brown saw Jones across from him, he cooked. Even worse: St. Brown did it in a multitude of ways. He caught deep balls. He caught a 5-yard touchdown. And he did damage with his fair share of grabs in the intermediate as well. Via Poupart: — Overall, Amon-Ra St. Brown was simply a matchup nightmare for the Dolphins' secondary. He was able to get in space and was open whenever he needed to make a play. Even Travis Wingfield, the Miami Dolphins' team beat reporter, had to give it up for Jared Goff and St. Brown: Thought Miami's D matched the physicality of the Lions, but Goff and St. Brown were basically perfect. They didn't get much on the ground but Goff was throwing handoffs and St. Brown catches everything. Dolphins offense 'frustrated' Let's start with some comments from Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa: 'I think today offensively was a very frustrating day in regards to what we wanted to do, what we said we wanted to do. We just weren't able to get things jump-started. So that was very frustrating today.' Tagovailoa specifically pointed to the Lions' pass rush as something that just threw off the timing of everything for Miami's offense. 'Our timing in the pass game was well off of what our pass (protection) looked like,' Tagovailoa said. 'That's just not a good recipe for success in this league, and against good teams, you know, things like that are going to happen.' As for observations from Miami reporters, it was a disastrous day for the Dolphins' offense. D'Angelo: ∎ Tua Tagovailoa was sacked on the first play of 11-on-11 portion of practice. Several followed. ∎ The 7-on-7 portion of practice did not go well early for backup quarterback Zach Wilson. Wilson threw interceptions on his first three passes as the Dolphins receivers struggled with getting open against the Lions defense. The receivers also had several drops. Poupart: Before we get to specific plays, let's just say it was a really rough outing for the offense. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa didn't throw a pick after his rough three-INT joint practice against the Chicago Bears on Friday, but he also didn't have a touchdown Back to the Dolphins' official reporter: Hey, honey, chin up. The Dolphins did some good things Apparently, the Lions' offensive line (particularly the second team) struggled against some Dolphins defenders. Defensive end Derrick McLendon, linebacker Jordyn Brooks, and starting defensive tackle Zach Sieler were particularly disruptive: Smalls: Not only did McLendon consistently win his reps during 1-on-1s, he got some extended run with the starters during the situational period at the end of practice when Robinson went down. Also—and I can personally attest to this—running back DeVon Achane is good and was a problem for the Lions' linebacking corps. Smalls: Overall, the offense didn't play great. Achane, however, showed a bit of life During 7-on-7s, the third-year tailback caught a ball from Tagovailoa for a nice chunk of yards. Then, during team drills, he had a nice misdirection run that would've picked up significant yards.
