Concussion protocol clouds his Week status until Thursday's report.

Key numbers
  • Robinson limited Wednesday with a concussion
  • No known symptoms during Sunday's game
  • Willis practiced in full despite toe injury
  • Willis: 51 PPR pts over 4 games in 2025
  • Ronnie Harrison (hamstring) missed practice

Miami's first injury report of the week dropped Wednesday, and the name that jumped out was edge rusher Chop Robinson, listed as limited with a concussion. That's a notable wrinkle: Robinson wasn't flagged for any symptoms during Sunday's game, so he either reported issues afterward or picked something up during Wednesday's session. The Dolphins should offer clarity Thursday.

The other name worth tracking for fantasy purposes is quarterback Malik Willis, who showed up on the report with an apparent toe injury — but practiced in full, which is about the best-case scenario when a body part like that gets involved. Willis has been a low-key intriguing option, posting 422 passing yards, three touchdowns and no picks across four games in 2025, adding 123 rushing yards and two scores. That combo produced 51 PPR points, all from a backup role.

Beyond those two, the report was mostly minor. Safety Dante Trader was a full participant despite a hamstring issue, and long-snapper Tucker Addington (shoulder) plus rookie tight end Seydou Traore (thumb/achilles) joined Robinson in the limited group. Linebacker Ronnie Harrison was the only active-roster player to sit out entirely, dealing with a hamstring problem of his own.

What It Means for Fantasy

Robinson is an IDP piece rather than a skill-position anchor, so most standard managers won't sweat this. But if you're in a deep league that scores defensive players, a concussion is the kind of thing that can flip from 'limited' to 'out' in 48 hours. Don't lock him into a lineup until Thursday's status firms up.

Willis is the more actionable read here. A full practice on a toe issue tells you Miami isn't worried, and his rushing floor gives him a spot-start ceiling in superflex or two-QB formats if he draws snaps. He's unranked in our model for a reason — the volume isn't guaranteed — but that 51-point sample from 2025 is enough to keep him on your watch list rather than your waiver ignore pile.

Bottom line: monitor Robinson's Thursday designation before trusting him in IDP lineups, and file Willis as a matchup-dependent flier who's healthy enough to matter if the depth chart shifts.
