Steelers star T.J. Watt hospitalized; availability for Monday’s game against Dolphins in doubt

According to numerous reports, Steelers star linebacker T.J. Watt was hospitalized on Wednesday after experiencing “lung discomfort” at Pittsburgh’s practice. Adam Schefter of ESPN has said that the injury was sustained while Watt was receiving treatment at the team’s facility prior to the Wednesday practice. The 31-year-old remained hospitalized Thursday — missing all Steelers activities.

The Steelers are set to the play the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football this week, and if Watt were to miss the contest, that would be a major blow to their chances of securing the victory against the surging South Florida squad.

NFL Week 15 Thursday Night Football: Falcons at Buccaneers ods, predictions

After a three-game Thanksgiving feast of football last week, we return to the standard one Thursday Night Football game in Week 14 – though it does feature two of the teams from Thanksgiving. The Dallas Cowboys visit the Detroit Lions tonight to kick off this week’s schedule.

The Lions hosted the Green Bay Packers in the first Thanksgiving game, losing 31-24 to fall to 7-5 on the year. The Cowboys hosted the second game of the day, beating the Kansas City Chiefs 31-24 to move to 6-5-1 this season. Now, both Detroit and Dallas are looking to thrust themselves back...

Phinsider Question/Discussion Of The Day: Miami Dolphins @ Pittsburgh Steelers Game Day Predictions

Phinsider Question/Discussion Of The Day: Miami Dolphins @ Pittsburgh Steelers Game Day Predictions

I’m still out here on the road, but we will still have our regular posts of the week. Our Miami Dolphins will travel north to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers this coming Monday evening for Monday Night Football. The biggest challenge for this team will be the weather. Pittsburgh will have snow over the weekend, with a high of 20 on Monday and a low of only 13. That’s nothing for some of you who live in the more northern parts of our country, but for those of us from Florida, especially those of us like myself, from South Florida,...

Dolphins corner Rasul Douglas wins AFC Defensive Player of the Week

Dolphins corner Rasul Douglas wins AFC Defensive Player of the Week

Miami Dolphins cornerback Rasul Douglas has been on fire this season, and he is finally being rewarded for his performances.

Douglas was named AFC Defensive Player of the Week for Week 14, as per David Furones of the Sun Sentinel.

Unlike the FedEx Air & Ground awards, this award is not determined by fan vote. Instead, a national selection committee of 101 media members who cover the NFL vote on the award. Douglas is the second Dolphin to win the award this season, with linebacker Jordyn Brooks winning the award in both Week 8 and Week 11. In fact, the...

Five Things I Think I Think About the Miami Dolphins – Week 14

Five Things I Think I Think About the Miami Dolphins – Week 14

43 degrees at MetLife Stadium in December taint so bad.

Were the Dolphins?

The Fins’ offense has figured out a formula

Sure; it’s the Jets (and a Jets team with a boatload of injuries, to boot). But being up 21-0 with 3:39 left in the 1st quarter is a pretty solid opening salvo.

Heavy sets, extra linemen masquerading as tight ends, tight ends who value blocking as much as running routes, fullbacks, et al, all in support of Dominant De’Von (Achane), plus the (albeit brief so far) emergence of Jaylen Wright, and a little sprinkle of OGII action on...

Fins Up, Fins Down | Week Fourteen

Fins Up, Fins Down | Week Fourteen

The Miami Dolphins have climbed back from the 1-5 hole they dug for themselves to start the season — finding themselves just one game back of an even .500 record. They can inch closer to an improbable playoff berth by defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football this upcoming Monday. It won’t be easy, but if the team plays like they played against the New York Jets this past Sunday, it is certainly possible.

Against the Jets in week fourteen, the Dolphins matched their largest win margin of the 2025 season — downing New York by a score of...

Dolphins dominating with the run game – The Splash Zone 12/10/25

Dolphins dominating with the run game – The Splash Zone 12/10/25

Over a month ago, it looked like it was all over for the Miami Dolphins this season. But on the back of the run game, this team is on a four game win streak and just hanging on for a chance at the playoffs. Ever since Mike McDaniel took over as head coach, the Dolphins offense revolved around their passing attack with Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. With Hill hurt and Tua Tagovailoa not playing the best, the team pivoted to the rushing attack and boy has it worked out. The Dolphins have had four straight games with at least...

Fantasy Football: Miami Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright Is Worth The Waiver Claim

Fantasy Football: Miami Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright Is Worth The Waiver Claim

Seems like just last week I wrote an article about three Miami Dolphins players I think could help you win your fantasy football leagues. And in typical fashion, in less than a week, that same list is basically obsolete!

Yes, I said you should pick up veteran tight end Darren Waller — who looks like he’s starting to get back to being one of Tua Tagovailoa’s favorite targets. Since his return, Waller has caught 3 of 6 targets for 60 yards and two first downs.

Score one for the good guys!

However, I also said you should target wide receiver...

Phinsider Question/Discussion Of The Day: Miami Dolphins @ Pittsburgh Steelers Players You Would Steal

I have to confess that the first game I was unable to watch in a very long time was this past Sunday’s between our Miami Dolphins and the New York Jets, as I was traveling. I was able to watch the highlights later that night, and if they was any indication of how things actually went and looked, our Dolphins destroyed the Jets in New York, which made it all that much more enjoyable. Now, on to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers, by default, are a better team and a bigger challenge for our Dolphins this coming Monday night, but...

Dolphins NFL playoff picture: What Week 15 vs. Steelers means for AFC standings

The NFL playoff picture is coming into focus, with teams starting to be eliminated from contention on both the AFC and NFC side of the brackets. Week 15 will bring with it several key matchups, including the Miami Dolphins at Pittsburgh Steelers Monday Night Football contest to end the week. Will the Dolphins, who have climbed back form a 1-6 start to the season to enter the playoff picture at 6-7 keep an improbable late-season run alive?

Where do we stand heading into Week 15 following last night’s Los Angeles Chargers win over the Philadelphia Eagles to close out Week...

Dolphins’ Aaron Brewer has quietly become the NFL’s best center

Dolphins’ Aaron Brewer has quietly become the NFL’s best center

Throughout the 2025 NFL season, SB Nation’s Doug Farrar will write about the game’s Secret Superstars — those players whose performances might slip under the radar for whatever reasons. In this installment, we focus on Miami Dolphins center Aaron Brewer, who came from humble beginnings and an uncertain NFL future early on. Maybe nobody expected Brewer to become the league’s best center, but he’s built a credible case.

There are two things you might not expect about the 2025 Miami Dolphins. First, they’re almost playoff-relevant at 6-7 after a brutal 2-7 start, and second, they’ve become one of the NFL’s...

Andrew Meyer to return to Miami Dolphins practice

Andrew Meyer to return to Miami Dolphins practice

On Monday, Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel spoke with the South Florida media and revealed that reserve offensive lineman Andrew Meyer would be returning to practice this week as the team plans to designate him to return from the injured reserve list.

Meyer was placed on injured reserve in late August with a lower body injury, but will now have 21 days to show his coaching staff that he’s healthy enough to resume play for the Dolphins. If the team chooses not to activate Meyer at any point during the next three weeks, the player will be forced to...
