Dolphins practice update

Chop Robinson’s return to the field comes after a rib hit, while Tyreek Hill remains sidelined with an oblique issue ahead of Detroit preseason action.

Robinson Returns to Dolphins Practice While Hill Sits Out

Chop Robinson returned to the Dolphins practice on Thursday after suffering a rib hit that briefly sidelined him during Wednesday’s joint session with the Lions. He took part in the second day of work, with coaches confirming there were no fractures and that the issue was minor enough to allow a return to action.

Tyreek Hill did not participate on Thursday due to an ongoing oblique issue, after being cleared to practice on Wednesday but limited in activity. Coach Mike McDaniel said the team chose to hold Hill out to prevent further injury, with a full return likely tied to after this weekend’s preseason game in Detroit.

Robinson’s quick comeback highlights a pragmatic approach to preseason health: protect the core asset while not sacrificing roster development. The Dolphins will be weighing depth along the edge and ensuring a player who is needed for early-season pressure remains available.

Hill’s absence adds a separate layer of intrigue. If the oblique lingers, Miami could lean more on younger receivers and the run game, testing how well the offense can function when a top playmaker isn’t on the field. The week ahead becomes less about plays and more about the pace of recovery and roster adaptability.

Health and pace will decide how quickly the Dolphins can ramp up for Week 1.
