Undergoes wrist surgery Brooks announced on Friday that he had an offseason surgery, which was on his right wrist, according to David Furones of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
Impact Brooks dealt with knee and quad issues down the stretch of the season, but he never appeared on the Dolphins' injury report with a wrist injury during this window. The 27-year-old is coming off his first season in Miami, and he finished as the team's leading tackler with 143 over 17 games this year. The exact nature of this procedure and the associated injury is unclear, but undergoing surgery this early in the offseason should give him about six months to recover before the start of Miami's 2025 training camp.

Finishes as team tackle leader Brooks made six tackles (three solo) and one pass breakup during Miami's 32-20 loss to the Jets on Sunday.
Impact Brooks concludes the year with a team-high 143 tackles (86 solo), including 3.0 sacks, plus six passes defensed and two fumble recoveries. Despite leading Miami in stops, that number marks just the third-best total of Brooks' five-year career. He has one year remaining on his contract with the team, and though the Dolphins have a potential 'out' in the deal for only $6.7 million in dead cap, this defense can't exactly afford to move on from one of its few difference makers.

Nine tackles vs. Cleveland Brooks tallied nine tackles (eight solo) during Sunday's 20-3 win over the Browns.
Impact Brooks finished Sunday's game as the Dolphins' second-leading tackler behind Tyrel Dodson (15). Brooks has logged at least seven combined tackles in 14 of 16 games this season, and on the year he's up to 137 tackles (83 solo), including 3.0 sacks, five pass defenses and two fumble recoveries. He'll look to add to his total in a must-win game against the Jets next Sunday.

Estimated as limited participant Brooks (quadriceps) was listed as a limited participant in Baltimore's practice estimate Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Brooks' estimation as a limited participant is an encouraging sign that the quadriceps injury he suffered during the team's Week 16 win over the 49ers is not serious. Based on his availability in practice on Thursday and Friday, the 27-year-old should have a chance to play in Sunday's matchup versus the Browns

Sacks Purdy in Week 16 Brooks (quadriceps/knee) registered seven tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, in the Dolphins' 29-17 win over the 49ers on Sunday.
Impact Brooks logged his third sack of the season Sunday when he took down Brock Purdy for a six-yard loss midway through the first quarter. Brooks left the game early in the fourth quarter due to quadricep and knee injuries, but he managed to return for the 49ers' final offensive drive late in the same frame. Per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, head coach Mike McDaniel expressed optimism Monday that Brooks would be able to play in the Dolphins' Week 17 matchup against the Browns on Sunday, Dec. 29. Brooks' practice participation will be worth monitoring to determine his status for Miami's penultimate regular-season game.

Impact Brooks logged his third sack of the campaign and recorded seven tackles in the win over San Francisco, but he played a season-low 77 percent of the defensive snaps after exiting early in the fourth quarter. He managed to return to the field for the 49ers' final offensive drive, and based on McDaniel's comments, Brooks appears to have experienced no setbacks while doing so. Brooks' practice participation will be worth monitoring this week to determine his status for this Sunday's contest.

Optimistic status for Week 17 Head coach Mike McDaniel is optimistic about Brooks' (quadriceps/knee) status for Sunday's game against the Browns, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Brooks had to exit this past Sunday's game against the 49ers with a pair of injuries, but he did actually re-enter the outing late in the fourth quarter. The fifth-year linebacker is still questionable for Miami's Week 17 matchup, but McDaniel's optimism bodes well for the starter. More information should be revealed on his condition in the coming days as the Dolphins ramp up practice.

Makes eight stops against Houston Brooks racked up eight tackles (six solo) and recovered one fumble during Miami's 20-12 loss to the Texans in Week 15.
Impact Brooks missed just one snap on defense versus the Texans, continuing to handle an every-down role. The veteran linebacker's consistent ability to rack up stops makes him a high-floor fantasy asset in IDP formats, though with only 2.0 sacks across 14 appearances, Brooks admittedly doesn't boast an exceptionally high ceiling. He'll work to keep up his momentum versus San Francisco on Sunday.

Another nine-tackle outing Brooks tallied nine tackles (four solo), one sack and one pass defensed in Sunday's 32-26 win over the Jets.
Impact Brooks has now posted exactly nine total tackles in three straight games, with double-digit stops in the two contests before that. The every-down linebacker has been a reliable bet for production in IDP formats all season. With 113 total tackles across 13 appearances, Brooks has now logged four straight seasons with triple-digit stops to begin his career. He'll work to keep up his momentum Sunday at Houston.
