The Miami Dolphins have been without defensive lineman and team captain Zach Sieler for the last two weeks due to a fractured orbital suffered in practice. But Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel is feeling good about Sieler's chances at returning in Week 10 with an extra day of rest ahead of a Monday night matchup.

Miami is getting good news on one of its standout defenders, and edge rusher Bradley Chubb’s rehab shouldn’t last the entire 2024 season.

McDaniel addressed other issues on Monday as his team turns its attention to next Monday’s game at the Rams (8:15 p.m., ESPN): ▪ Asked whether the Dolphins would be buyers or sellers before Tuesday’s trade deadline, McDaniel said he didn’t want to label what Miami is doing but made clear they believe in this core.
