Dolphins rookie LB Jacob Rodriguez absent from Wednesday's practice

Summary

Miami Dolphins linebacker Jacob Rodriguez did not participate in Wednesday's practice, the team's final session before their preseason finale against the Atlanta Falcons on Friday. The reason for Rodriguez's absence is unclear, adding concern given that Tyrel Dodson, Ronnie Harrison, and Trey Moore are also not practicing. In more positive news, All-Pro linebacker Jordyn Brooks returned from injury, though he is unlikely to play against Atlanta. If Rodriguez and other teammates remain unavailable, Miami will rely on players like Willie Gay and Kyle Louis at linebacker.
