The Patriots fell 30-24 to the Bears on Thursday and now shift focus to Miami, but rookie contributions dominate the week’s recap. First‑round OT Caleb Lomu, despite being third on the depth chart, logs 160 offensive snaps with only one pressure allowed. Edge rusher ED Gabe Jacas records a career‑best five pressures against Chicago, bolstering a formerly weak defensive line. Third‑round TE Eli Raridon snaps up 44% of offensive plays, showing promise as a blocker and receiver. Quarterback Drake Maye impresses with poise under pressure, earning praise from Bears coach Ben Johnson. Meanwhile, wideout A.J. Brown’s explosiveness wanes after a high‑ankle sprain, and Coach Mike Vrabel faces a $250,000 fine for conduct toward officials.
The New York Jets host the Miami Dolphins at MetLife Stadium on October 25, 2026, with kickoff slated just after 1:00 pm EDT. Expect a classic autumn afternoon: clear skies, low humidity, and light winds (0‑5 mph) shifting from southwest to west‑southwest. Temperatures start in the low‑mid 60s and climb to the upper 60s, with virtually no chance of rain. The bright sun could challenge receivers on deep passes, but overall conditions are ideal for an exciting showdown.
The New York Jets shuffle their roster before Sunday's showdown with the Miami Dolphins, placing 23‑year‑old linebacker Kiko Mauigoa on injured reserve and promoting Jaden Keller to the active squad. They also elevate offensive tackle Brant Banks and veteran linebacker Troy Reeder from the practice squad. Mauigoa saw only 26 special‑teams snaps this season, while Keller has logged 60 snaps and one tackle in three games. Reeder, a former Rams/Lions player, contributes four tackles on special teams, and Banks, a former Green Bay practice player, has yet to see a 2026 snap.
What if you were playing at the top of your game, but your team still traded you out? That’s what happened to former Miami Dolphins star Jarvis Landry, who recently shared his side of the story. “I did not want to leave from Miami,” Landry said on his 4th and South podcast. “That was a […]

The Phinsider crowdsources fan predictions for the Dolphins' upcoming clash with the New York Jets on Sunday, Oct. 25, 2026. Most fans favor a Dolphins win, projecting a 24‑17 or 27‑17 victory propelled by a dominant rushing attack from Ollie Gordon II (100+ yards, multiple TDs) and a standout defensive performance by linebacker Brooks (15 tackles, an interception). Several contributors highlight key playmakers—Brooks, Rodriguez, and Johnson on defense, and Gordon plus the running game overall—while a few skeptics anticipate a close game or even a Jets upset. The consensus forecast sees Miami out‑gaining New York by roughly 300 yards and holding the Jets to 17 points.
Dolphins Dolphins QB coach Bush Hamdan feels QB Malik Willis is still developing as a starter and thinks he needs to work on finding the right time to make a play happen instead of just living to see another down. “We all want this to be a straight line of perfect development — but there’s […]

The Phinsider outlines Iowa State and Arizona players the rebuilding Miami Dolphins might target in the 2027 NFL Draft. Iowa State’s senior QB Jaylen Raynor throws for 1,001 yards and 7 TDs with 166 rushing yards this season, offering improvisational upside for a day‑three pick. Edge rusher Isaac Terrell and right tackle Maasai King provide depth potential, while slot receiver Omari Hayes and possession man Ty Claiborne could earn practice‑squad spots. From Arizona, pocket‑passer Noah Fifita (5‑10) and hard‑hitting linebacker Taye Brown (93 tackles last season) appear as undrafted or late‑round candidates. The piece highlights each prospect’s stats, strengths and draft outlook.
The author breaks down three key factors to watch in the Jets‑Dolphins clash on October 24, 2026. First, the narrative of a ‘must‑win’ game is challenged—New York can still make the playoffs even with a loss, while a win won’t guarantee a spot. Second, the spotlight returns to the Jets’ receiving corps, with Omar Cooper Jr. (6 catches, 103 yards, TD) and the re‑addition of Adonai Mitchell joining veteran D’Wayne Wilson, giving coach Frank Reich its full WR trio for the first time. Third, the piece questions Jeff Hafley’s coaching after six straight defeats and notes the potential impact of Breece Hall’s possible return against a Miami defense that has yielded 24+ points in four games. The article argues the Jets have more talent on both sides of the ball and should aim for a dominant win.

The Miami Dolphins have had two weeks to prepare for the Jets in Week 7, but they still need to execute to win.
The Miami Dolphins head into Sunday’s visit to MetLife as a winless underdog despite historically dominating the Jets (6‑1 in the last seven meetings). After a roster overhaul that saw all six 2023 Pro Bowlers depart, Miami relies on rookie quarterback Malik Willis, who’s 56% complete with two passing and two rushing TDs but four picks. The offensive line remains largely intact, anchored by first‑round guard Kadyn Proctor, while the running game leans on Ollie Gordon II after De’Von Achane’s ACL tear. Wideout Malik Washington struggles for production, and the receiving corps features limited‑impact mid‑round picks like Chris Bell and Caleb Douglas. Defensively, Kenneth Grant returns to bolster the line alongside Zach Sieler. Can the revamped Dolphins upset the Jets?
Supporting an NFL team takes more than time on Sundays. Fans spend money on tickets and travel, and they trust the franchise to give them something worth following.

The Miami Dolphins played musical chairs with their kicker this week, but will face a familiar face on Sunday.
The New York Jets announce that wide receiver Adonai Mitchell will return to the active roster for the first time since Week 2 ahead of their Week 7 home game against the Miami Dolphins on October 25. At 2‑4, the Jets need the win to pull even and set up a .500 chance in Week 8 versus the Las Vegas Raiders. The injury update also notes running back Breece Hall and lineman Dylan Parham are game‑time decisions, potentially giving the offense its first healthy look of the season.
The New York Jets host the winless Miami Dolphins in their seventh game of the 2026 season, a must‑win for head coach Aaron Glenn after a recent loss to New England. Historically, the Dolphins have dominated the rivalry, but the Jets aim to shut down Miami’s offense, limiting them to under 150 passing yards and forcing two turnovers. Predictions include Geno Smith throwing for 250+ yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions, and the Jets winning 27‑13. The article outlines these forecasts and warns readers against betting solely on them.
The Phinsider’s “Victory of the Week” open thread (Vol. 695) invites Miami Dolphins fans to celebrate personal or football‑related wins. Posted on October 24, 2026, the forum encourages readers to share milestones—whether a game‑day highlight, a professional achievement, or a daily triumph—in the comments.

The Kansas City Chiefs move undrafted wide receiver Andrew Armstrong to the 53‑man roster after his practice‑squad elevation helped against the Chargers. Armstrong, a 2025 Miami Dolphins signee from Arkansas, logged 13 receiving yards and 42 offensive snaps in his debut. With starter Rashee Rice sidelined, he was expected to start against Seattle, but the Chiefs instead promote rookie running back Jadyn Ott—who will debut Sunday—after a hamstring injury to third‑string back Brashard Smith. The roster shuffle also sees Nate Carter added to the practice squad as a running back option.
Dolphins Dolphins QB Malik Willis said that he has a ton of confidence in rookie WR Chris Bell and added that he’s helped support him in his development. “I think he’s just continuing to grow, bro,” Willis said, via Dolphins Wire. “I mean, he’s a rookie. He’s just trying to figure it out. Obviously, I […]

The Miami Dolphins got good news on the offensive side of the ball Friday when two players were cleared to play on Sunday.
The New York Jets receive a boost as starting wide receiver Adonai Mitchell is cleared to return after missing four games with a finger injury. Mitchell will suit up for Sunday's matchup against the Miami Dolphins, joining a potentially healthier offense that could also see running back Breece Hall and left guard Dylan Parham listed as questionable but possibly available. After battling an injury wave that forced the team to dip into its practice squad, the Jets aim to improve on a 2-4 start and a league‑low 18.7 points per game. Full health could finally give the offense a chance to climb from near the bottom of the scoring ranks.
Standing at 2-4, the New York Jets’ season is on the brink of going off the rails. However, they have a chance to stay alive as they host the 0-5 Miami Dolphins this Sunday. One group that could benefit from the matchup is the Jets offensive line. After a stellar Week 1, the unit has ...

The Miami Dolphins have posted just four sacks all season – all came in a rare burst against the Vikings in Week 4 – and rank tied for the league’s worst pass rush, with zero sacks in Weeks 1‑3 and 5. Coach Jeff Hafley says the bye week is a chance to overhaul schemes and generate more pressure, after Miami has allowed a 115.0 passer rating (31st) and a 52% conversion rate on third‑down attempts. With the youngest roster in the league and a rebuilding outlook, the Dolphins must fix their pass rush to remain competitive.
