Head Coach Mike McDaniel addressed each of the moves at his Wednesday morning press conference. While there’s no timetable for Liam Eichenberg’s return, the injury is not a season-ender, per McDaniel, but it could force Eichenberg to miss multiple weeks.
“I’m not going to put a timeline on it and I wouldn’t bet against arguably as tough of a player as I’ve been around,” McDaniel said. “He’s played in football games that a majority of players that I’ve coached wouldn’t be able to, so I’m feeling good about an unknown timeline because of the player. But … it’s not like a season-ender or anything like that.”
The Ifeatu Melifonwu and Darren Waller moves were precautionary, per McDaniel. He also offered up a scouting report on new offensive lineman, Daniel Brunskill.
“Dan Brunskill is the dude who is going to be over-prepared, competitive,” McDaniel said. “He’s assuming right now that you guys have nothing good to say about him, and he’s going to work to prove you otherwise. That’s how he operates and that’s a mentality I think is important in the NFL.”

It was the perfect backdrop for a practice that had a heavy emphasis on the run game with both sides sharing wins. Defensive tackle Zach Sieler and linebackers Jordyn Brooks and Bradley Chubb all had tackles for loss with Chubb adding a would-be sack on quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Grayson Murphy also added a sack.
Chubb got his production moving across the defensive formation but was held in check by left tackle Patrick Paul. Paul drew one-on-ones against all the Dolphins premiere pass game wreckers and held his own against Chubb, Chop Robinson and Jaelan Phillips.
Paul, and the rest of the Dolphins offensive line, looked the part as they paved the way for a handful of explosive runs from running backs De’Von Achane and Jaylen Wright.
