Dolphins LB Bradley Chubb eyes return after his major knee injury in 2023
Associated PressMIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Bradley Chubb’s most recent memory from a football field involves screaming in agonizing pain and grabbing his leg. “I just remember screaming my lungs out on the field because of the pain I was in,” Chubb said Thursday, speaking to reporters for the first time since the injury. Coach Mike McDaniel decided against activating Chubb for Miami’s game against the New York Jets last Sunday, saying he didn’t want to rush the star pass rusher back after an 11-month absence. “For me, I’m just waiting to see the signs of guys that are unable to tolerate not playing in the games anymore and that they’re ready,” McDaniel said, “so some good week of opportunity and observation really to get those guys jumping back in, but we won’t get ahead of ourselves. “Being on that field the last time screaming and holding my leg and doing all this,” Chubb said, “it would be cool to get back on there and have a new memory of my last football snap.” ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL
