Dolphins news: Andrew Van Ginkel, Brian Flores, and Week 4 injury updates

Of course, Minnesota defensive coordinator Brian Flores was the head coach for the Dolphins from 2019 through 2021.

And perhaps the most recognizable person on the field for Dolphins fans, with his hair flowing out from under his helmet, will be linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel. AVG played for the Dolphins from 2019 through 2023, appearing in 73 games, including 42 starts, recording 2019 tackles, 17 sacks, two interceptions, seven passes defensed, three forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, and two touchdowns. A 2019 fifth-round pick for Miami out of Wisconsin, Van Ginkel signed as a free agent with the Vikings in 2024, taking a fan favorite out of the Miami defense and reuniting him with Flores.

Former Miami Dolphins safety Jevon Holland is off to a great start in his second season with the New York Giants and he was recognized Thursday as the NFC Defensive Player of the Month.
