Placed on IR The Dolphins placed Roberts (knee) on injured reserve Thursday.

Likely done for the year Roberts (knee) is expected to miss the remainder of the 2020 season, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN reports.
Impact Roberts has been a key piece of Miami's rushing defense this season, but it looks like he won't be available Week 17 or for any potential postseason action. Through 13 games, Roberts notched 61 tackles (29 solo), 1.5 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

Impact Roberts missed last week's game against the Chiefs with the chest issue, but after practicing in a limited capacity this week, he gained the medical clearance needed to play. The Dolphins' linebacking corps will be a full strength for the contest, as Roberts, Jerome Baker (back) and Kyle Van Noy (hip) are all active.

Status uncertain for Sunday Roberts (chest) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Patriots, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Roberts missed last week's loss to the Chiefs. He made progress by staying on the practice field all week, albeit in a limited capacity. Meanwhile, fellow starting linebacker Jerome Baker (knee) is also questionable. Calvin Munson and Kamu Grugier-Hill are the likely replacements if neither Roberts nor Baker can play Sunday.

Inactive for Week 14 Roberts won't play in Sunday's game against the Chiefs due to a chest injury.
Impact Roberts suffered the chest injury in the first quarter of last week's win over the Bengals, and the injury will force him to miss more time. The Miami linebacking corps is a bit thin Sunday, as Kyle Van Noy (hip) joined Roberts on the inactives list. In Roberts' stead, look for an increased role given to Calvin Munson and Kamu Grugier-Hill at inside linebacker for Sunday's game.

Questionable for Week 14 Roberts (chest) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Roberts left in the first quarter of last week's win over the Bengals due to this injury, and it's still unclear if he'll be able to play through it a week later. Calvin Munson would see more snaps at inside linebacker if Roberts is ultimately ruled out.

Leaves game Sunday Roberts is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals due to a chest injury, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but Roberts was forced to leave the game in the first quarter. The Houston product has been an important part of the interior of the defense this season, racking up 50 tackles (25 solo) and 1.5 sacks through 10 games. As long as Roberts is sidelined, look for Calvin Munson and Kamu Grugier-Hill to see an uptick in snaps.
