Miami Dolphins review inside linebackers ahead of training camp
Summary

As the Miami Dolphins prepare for training camp opening later this month, the inside linebackers are a key focus. Veteran Jordyn Brooks, fresh off an All-Pro season, led the team in tackles in 2025 and is poised for a potential contract extension despite trade rumors. Rookie Jacob Rodriguez, selected in the second round of the draft, could emerge as a pivotal player, having led the nation in forced fumbles in college. Tyrel Dodson, another linebacker, made significant contributions in coverage and is also being considered for leadership roles within the unit. With a mix of experience and newcomer talent, the Dolphins' linebacking corps is seen as one of their strongest defensive groups.
