Departs with hip injury Van Noy was forced out of Sunday's game against the Chargers with a hip injury, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Impact Van Noy left went down in clear pain during the first half and immediately went to the blue medical tent. He recorded three tackles (one solo) before leaving. Sam Eguavoen and Andrew Van Ginkel should both see upticks in usage while Van Noy is on the sidelines.

Going to play after all The Dolphins activated Van Noy off the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, indicating that he'll play Sunday versus the Chargers.
Impact Coach Brian Flores said Friday that Van Noy wouldn't be ready in time for Sunday's game, but this transaction contrasts that and puts the veteran linebacker on track to play. This is good news for the Dolphins' sturdy defense, as he's piled up 33 tackles, two sacks, two pass breakups and two forced fumbles through seven games.

4 Dolphins assistants to miss Chargers game due to COVID-19
Four Miami Dolphins assistant coaches will miss Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers because of COVID-19 protocolsNOVEMBER 13, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ruled out for Week 10 Coach Brian Flores said Friday that Van Noy (undisclosed) will not be available against the Chargers on Sunday, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Van Noy was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday along with fellow defensive starter Christian Wilkins, who will similarly be forced to sit out Sunday's contest. When healthy, the veteran linebacker has played a three-down role for the Dolphins. His versatile abilities as a pass rusher, run blocker and pass defender will be missed as Miami attempts to contain Justin Herbert and the Chargers.

Placed on COVID-19 list The Dolphins placed Van Noy on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Van Noy was one of three players placed on the COVID-19 list by Miami on Thursday, alongside Christian Wilkins and Matt Cole. The veteran linebacker appears to be in legitimate danger of missing Sunday's game against the Chargers, considering that NFL guidelines stipulate that players must quarantine for at least five days even if they test negative.

Stingy, aggressive defense has Dolphins in playoff race
The Miami Dolphins have gotten good at getting in the way, which is a big changeNOVEMBER 4, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Rebounds from injury with busy day Van Noy registered nine tackles, two pass deflections and a fumble recovery during Sunday's 28-17 win against the Rams.
Impact Van Noy had been limited during Wednesday and Thursday of the preceding practice week because of a foot issue, but he was able to shed any injury designation heading into a home matchup against Los Angeles. He had been forced to sit out Week 6 with a groin injury, but boosted by extra recuperation time from Miami's bye week, Van Noy finished third on the team in total tackles. The two-time Super Bowl champion hadn't registered more than five tackles in a game this season coming into Sunday.

Good to go for Week 8 Van Noy (foot) upgraded to a full practice Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Rams, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Van Noy was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he was able to put his foot injury behind him and should be able to play Sunday. The former Patriots linebacker has chipped in 19 tackles and two sacks in his first season with Miami.

Inactive for Week 6 Van Noy (groin) won't suit up in Sunday's game against the Jets, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Van Noy was expected to sit out of Sunday's game after practicing in a limited capacity throughout the week. The good news for the Dolphins is that Shaq Lawson (knee) will be available for the contest at linebacker. Look for Lawson and Sam Eguavoen to handle starting duties at strongside linebacker for Sunday's game.

Trending toward sitting out Van Noy (groin/foot), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, appears unlikely to play, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact More specifically, Pelissero relays that fellow starting outside linebacker Shaq Lawson (knee) -- who is also listed as questionable -- has a "much better chance of playing" than Van Noy. The Dolphins are on bye Week 7, so it would make sense for the team to let the edge rusher get some extra time to heal while he tends to multiple injuries. While suiting up in all five of Miami's games to date, Van Noy has tallied 19 tackles and two sacks.
OCTOBER 18, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Nursing multiple injuries Van Noy is dealing with a foot injury in addition to his groin injury going into Sunday's game against the Jets, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Van Noy remains questionable for the contest, but it now appears that he will have multiple injuries to overcome. He practiced in limited fashion twice to close out the week, so he is looking like a true game-time decision.
OCTOBER 17, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Officially questionable Van Noy (groin) is questionable for Sunday's divisional contest against the Jets.
Impact Van Noy has put together back-to-back limited practices, a hint that he's trending in the right direction for Sunday's game. Even if he's active, though, the veteran linebacker could end up playing on a snap count.
OCTOBER 16, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Upgrades to limited practice Van Noy (groin) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Coach Brian Flores called Van Noy's groin injury minor, according to Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com, a hint that the veteran linebacker could still be on track to suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Jets. Unless Van Noy is able to resume practicing in full Friday, though, he could end up playing restricted snaps Week 6 even if active.
OCTOBER 15, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Misses practice due to groin Van Noy (groin) didn't practice Wednesday, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact This is the first we're hearing of a groin injury for Van Noy. He'll look to raise his practice participation and suit up for Sunday's game against the Jets, where the veteran linebacker will be hoping to build on his season totals of 15 tackles and two sacks.
OCTOBER 14, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Disruptive in Thursday night win Van Noy notched three tackles (one solo) and one strip-sack during Thursday's 31-13 win over the Jaguars.
Impact Van Noy was a force in the pass rush Thursday, and he had a number of plays that didn't show up on the stat sheet but forced Gardner Minshew to abandon reads. He even recovered the fumble after logging a strip-sack in the fourth quarter, a play which essentially sealed the win for Miami. Van Noy has been a solid option in IDP formats through three contests, and he'll look to keep up his momentum against the Seahawks in Week 4.
