Dolphins' Austin Jackson recovering from injury ahead of minicamp

"

Miami Dolphins right tackle Austin Jackson had his contract restructured, underwent an offseason surgery and returned as the team’s longest active-tenured offensive player. As Jackson heads into his sixth season, still with the Dolphins as he recovers from surgery that followed a lingering toe injury from 2025, he must prove he can stay healthy and still be that blocker whom the previous regime selected in the first round in 2020 and later found his groove after some early-career struggles. Jackson has been working his foot back to a healthy place through Miami’s offseason workout program, ramping up to individual position drills Tuesday and Wednesday for mandatory minicamp after he was restricted to team stretch and rehab work on the side of practice during voluntary organized team activities.
