MIAMI GARDENS — Miami Dolphins linebacker Bradley Chubb had just come off the practice field with the sweat pouring off him. He was feeling tired — “dead tired,” to be exact. And he liked it. For the first time in about 1 1/2 years, Chubb had practiced in pads.

James Daniels should be able to practice with no restrictions. He suffered a season-ending Achilles tear in Week 4 last season with Pittsburgh.

Miami Dolphins safety Ashtyn Davis sustained a left leg injury and left the field in crutches and a walking boot at training camp Tuesday in Miami Gardens, Fla.

The Miami Dolphins on Tuesday hit the practice field for the first time in pads as training camp ramps up ahead of their first preseason game.

Jones’ latest – and possibly final – chance came last week when the Dolphins, hit with injuries in the secondary, called a player with a list of off-field problems, including a 2023 arrest after two loaded firearms were found in his carry-on at Boston's Logan Airport.

The 24-year-old had to be airlifted to a trauma center after a collision towards the end of the first day of training camp.

Dolphins safety Ashtyn Davis, who would be expected to start while Iffy Melinfonwu is on the non-football injury list, hobbled off the field about halfway through Tuesday’s practice.

The Miami Dolphins' safety position is one that's largely unknown, at least behind defensive superstar Minkah Fitzpatrick, whom the team had a reunion with last month in a mega-trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers that sent Jonnu Smith and Jalen Ramsey to the Steel City.
