A look at the offensive line for the Miami Dolphins ahead of the training camp.

The Miami Dolphins' offensive line will go through some significant changes in 2026, but the unit is predicted to be one of the better position groups on the team.

Anchored by left tackle Patrick Paul and center Aaron Brewer, there is a lot of promise that the protection the line provides can lead to a strong season for quarterback Malik Willis. 

That said, here is a look at the offensive line ahead of training camp.

Dolphins Offensive Linemen on the Roster

Patrick Paul 

Paul has been steadily becoming one of the strongest tackles in the league, and he continues to ascend in his young career. He will be entering this third season with the Dolphins, and 2026 could be the year that he finally showcases his prowess as a blindside blocker.

Kadyn Proctor

Kadyn Proctor is predicted to be the Dolphins' left guard, which is a position he has not played exclusively in at the collegiate level. However, his being cross-trained will only benefit the team.

Proctor is 6-foot-7 and 350 pounds, giving the Miami offense two bullies on the left side that can ensure Willis has more than enough protection.

Aaron Brewer

Ever since Brewer arrived on the Dolphins team, he has seen a huge increase in his skills and capabilities. The dynamic linemen was rated the top center on Pro Football Focus, and was a nominee for the new Protector of the Year award, with many believing he should have won.

Either way, Brewer is an All-Pro talent who acts as the first contact and anchor of the entire line. He was integral to the success of De'Von Achane and should remain the same.

Jonah Savaiinaea

Jonah Savaiinaea was the opposite of Brewer and was the worst-rated left guard in 2025. To his credit, he was a rookie tasked with an immediate starting role that he was likely not ready for.

Savaiinaea will play right guard, a position he knows well from his collegiate days. With his move over to the right, he has garnered praise from his teammates through OTAs and minicamp.

Austin Jackson

Austin Jackson can be one of the best tackles, but his health remains a big issue. He has played in 14 games over the past two seasons. The Dolphins offered him a one-year deal for 2026, but it is likely the team moves on from him past that unless he can stay healthy.

Proctor is likely to be the next right tackle, assuming Jackson does not get extended past 2026.

Andrew Meyer

Andrew Meyer is the direct backup center to Brewer and was a candidate to secure the position before suffering a triceps injury that kept him out long-term. 

Jamaree Salyer

Jamaree Salyer is a longtime veteran who may push for some rotational time, if not be a direct competitor to take a tackle spot, should one open.

Charlie Heck

Charlie Heck is similar to Salyer in that he is a proven veteran who offers the Dolphins' line some true depth. 

DJ Campbell

DJ Campbell is the only other linemen taken in the draft, apart from Proctor. He has a long road ahead to potentially land a spot on the 53-man roster. 

Additional backups:

Kevin Cline

Marques Cox

Jim Bonifas

Josh Priebe

Gottlieb Ayedze

James Ester

Biggest Offensive Line Questions

Will the structure of Proctor on the left and Savaiinaea on the right be the correct choice? 

Proctor remains a rookie, but his upside continues to be spoken about, and it will be up to him to solidify the left side as a first-year NFL player.

Can Jackson stay healthy?

The entire line may be dependent on Jackson staying healthy. If he cannot, then the entire line may be faced with some tough decisions.
