Dolphins safety Ashtyn Davis, who would be expected to start while Iffy Melinfonwu is on the non-football injury list, hobbled off the field about halfway through Tuesday’s practice.

MIAMI GARDENS — Miami Dolphins linebacker Bradley Chubb had just come off the practice field with the sweat pouring off him. He was feeling tired — “dead tired,” to be exact. And he liked it. For the first time in about 1 1/2 years, Chubb had practiced in pads.

That day, however, culminated with a ruptured Achilles for the then-Pittsburgh Steelers guard, effectively ending his 2024 season just four games into a contract year. The past 10 months have been different levels of grueling but the 27-year-old is officially near the finish line.

Miami Dolphins safety Ashtyn Davis sustained a left leg injury and left the field in crutches and a walking boot at training camp Tuesday in Miami Gardens, Fla.

The Miami Dolphins on Tuesday hit the practice field for the first time in pads as training camp ramps up ahead of their first preseason game.

The 24-year-old had to be airlifted to a trauma center after a collision towards the end of the first day of training camp.

The Miami Dolphins acquired Minkah Fitzpatrick from the Pittsburgh Steelers for CB Jalen Ramsey and TE Jonnu Smith.
