  • Dolphins' David Long: First career 100-tackle season

    Long racked up 113 tackles (64 solo), including one sack, one pass breakup and one forced fumble across 17 regular-season appearances with the Dolphins in 2023. Long surpassed the 100-tackle mark for the first time in his five-year NFL career while also tallying his first first-ever sack as a pro during a Week 2 win over New England. The 2024 campaign will mark the final season of his two-year contract with Miami, but his cap hit will grow to a sizeable $6.7 million, and the team has a potential 'out' with only $2.2 million in dead money this offseason. Of course, given Long's career-best 2023 performance, both sides should have mutual agreement on remaining united.

  • Dolphins' David Long: Picks up sack vs. Pats

    Long recorded eight tackles (five solo) and one sack during Sunday's 24-17 win over New England. Long resumed playing 80-plus percent of defensive snaps Week 2 after being relegated to just 20 percent of snaps Week 1, making good on coach Mike McDaniel's promise that the instance of lessened deployment was simply the matter of a specific gameplan. The starting interior linebacker's sack of Mac Jones was the first of his NFL career. Miami's defense will face the task of containing Russell Wilson and the Broncos in Week 3.

  • Dolphins' David Long: Sitting out team drills

    Long (undisclosed) hasn't been participating at the Dolphins' OTAs, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports. Head coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday that Long had a "tweak" earlier this offseason, which explains why the linebacker hasn't been available for team drills. McDaniel believes that Long is in a "good spot" and is looking forward to getting him out on the practice field when he's ready. Long signed a two-year contract with the Dolphins in March and is expected to operate as a starter at inside linebacker in 2023.

  • Dolphins' David Long: Heading to Miami

    Long is expected to sign a two-year, $11 million deal with the Dolphins, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports. Long missed five games last year, and he also missed seven games in 2021, so his durability is a concern. After averaging 6.02 tackles per game two years ago, he improved to 8.08 stops per game during his final year in Tennessee. Although he doesn't have any sacks in his career, he's been credited with 11 passes defensed over the last two years. He should move into a starting inside linebacker position with the Dolphins, and it's reasonable to expect his per-game tackle production to be similar to last year.

  • Titans' David Long: Injury-plagued campaign

    Long (hamstring) finished the 2022 season with 86 tackles, five passes defended and two interceptions across 12 games. Long remained a key contributor to Tennessee's defense when he was on the field, as he racked up at least eight tackles in seven of his 12 contests. However, he's now missed at least two games in all four of his seasons in the NFL, and he finished the 2022 campaign on injured reserve. Long will enter free agency after playing out the final season of his rookie contract, and he should draw significant interest in free agency.

  • Titans' David Long: Upgrades to full activity Tuesday

    Long (neck) practiced fully Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports. Long sustained a stinger during the fourth quarter of Sunday's matchup versus the Broncos, but he's since returned to Tuesday's session without limitations. The 26-year-old has amassed 71 tackles, four passes defensed and two interceptions across the Titans' first nine games in 2022, and he should once again provide the team's defense with an impactful presence in Thursday night's showdown against the Packers.

  • Titans' David Long: Exits with injury

    Long is questionable to return after suffering a stinger during Sunday's game against the Broncos, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports. While the nature of Long's injury is still unclear, he'll likely have a tough time returning before the end of this contest. As a result, expect fellow inside linebacker Dylan Cole to play a bigger role for the remainder of the fourth quarter.

  • Titans' David Long: Snags game-clinching INT in Week 5

    Long recorded 11 tackles (six solo) and one interception during Sunday's 21-17 win over the Commanders. Long's game-sealing interception came with nine seconds remaining in the game when Washington was on Tennessee's two yard line down 21-17. The 25-year-old linebacker produced his best outing this season Sunday against the Commanders, as he amassed 11 tackles, which is good enough for the team-high in Week 5, as well as his season-high in that category. The 227-pounder played 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps Sunday, and he'll now rest up during the Titans' bye this weekend before returning to action next Sunday against the Colts.

  • Titans' David Long: Suiting up Sunday

    Long (knee) is officially active for Sunday's AFC Championship Game at Kansas City. Long didn't miss a practice during the week, so it's not a major surprise he'll be available Sunday. The 21-year-old primarily played special teams during the regular season but saw 47 defensive snaps last week against the Ravens with Jayon Brown (shoulder) sidelined. Long should return to a reserve role Sunday since Brown is also available.
