The Dolphins plan to have edge rusher Chop Robinson available for Sunday's game against the Commanders in Madrid.

Robinson did not play against the Bills last weekend because of a concussion, but he made the trip with the team to Spain this week and head coach Mike McDaniel updated his condition at a Wednesday press conference. McDaniel said "all things point toward a full clearance" for Robinson on Wednesday, who has eight tackles and a sack so far this season.

McDaniel said that center Aaron Brewer and cornerback Rasul Douglas will sit out of practice on Wednesday. He added that he feels positive about the chances of both players being able to play on Sunday.

The Dolphins will also open the 21-day practice window for tackle Austin Jackson. Jackson has been out since Week 1 with a toe injury and can be activated at any point in the next three weeks.

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said he doesn't have any long-term concerns about quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the wake of the team's third loss in four games, but there is some concern about the overall offense.

Tomlin said in his Tuesday press conference that the team has not done a good job of putting players other than wide receiver DK Metcalf "in position to win and win big" over the course of the season. They recently signed wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who played with Rodgers in Green Bay, and Tomlin was asked if he could be elevated to play against the Bengals this week.

"We'll see what the week holds for him and all the others on practice squad," Tomlin said, via the team's website. "We're not opposed to elevating people and giving them an opportunity to contribute. It's been about every game this year where we've elevated someone and utilized their talents. . . . I'm certainly open to evaluating Scantling, his ability to know what to do, and the quality and execution and how it might fit into what we're trying to do offensively in an effort to engineer victory. Certainly."

Valdes-Scantling is unlikely to be a cure for all that's ailed the Steelers offense, but any help he can provide would be welcomed as the Steelers try to keep their playoff hopes from slipping away for good.

Lions head coach Dan Campbell says there are a lot of things he and his team will spend more time on than the tush push as they prepare to face the Eagles on Sunday night.

"The tush push is the least of my concerns," Campbell said on 97.1 The Ticket. "I know it's gonna show up and it's a good play for them, but we've got a lot of other things we've got to defend before that."

The Lions were one of 10 NFL teams that voted not to ban the tush push when it came to a vote over the offseason and was narrowly kept legal. To change a playing rule, at least 24 teams needed to vote to ban it, and in the end 22 teams voted to ban it. But just because Campbell didn't want it outlawed, that doesn't mean he doesn't recognize it might be used effectively against his team.

"There's nothing easy about defending it. It's hard. The good news is, they're not hiding it. You know what's coming," Campbell said.

Campbell said the Lions won't work on stopping the tush push at full speed in practice.

"You can't really practice that per se, full speed," Campbell said. "I'm not going to line our guys up and say we're going to go 100 miles an hour on tush push eight times today. It's just more about the technique, how you want to defend it, what you want to do. We've got some pretty good dudes that know how to play with leverage."

And more importantly for Campbell is that the Lions keep the Eagles out of the short-yardage situations when they use the tush push.
