The Miami Dolphins are at a crucial point in their five-year rebuild under general manager Chris Grier. They have built a roster of stars and head coach Mike McDaniel became just the third coach in franchise history to lead the team to the playoffs in each of his first two seasons.
The gunman who shot at Donald Trump searched for Trump and Biden events but saw Trump's July rally as a "target of opportunity," the FBI says. Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa stands on the field before a preseason NFL football game against the Washington Commanders, Saturday, Aug. 17, 2024, in Miami Gardens, Fla.
NEW FACES: Defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver, WR Odell Beckham Jr., TE Jonnu Smith, DT Calais Campbell, OL Aaron Brewer, S Jordan Poyer, LB Jordyn Brooks, CB Kendall Fuller, LB Chop Robinson, OL Patrick Paul.Colts counting on Richardson-Taylor pairing to help change the conversation with a playoff returnKEY LOSSES: DT Christian Wilkins, CB Xavien Howard, C Connor Williams, G Robert Hunt, LB Andrew Van Ginkel, LB Jerome Baker, S Brandon Jones, S DeShon Elliott, LB Melvin Ingram.
STRENGTHS: Tagovailoa had the best statistical season of his career in 2023, setting career highs in passing yards , completion rate and touchdown passes , while staying healthy enough to play the entire season for the first time in his career. Now he’s signed long term, and Tagovailoa said his new contract, which is the most lucrative in franchise history, motivated him to get better as he hopes to help Miami end its postseason win drought.
WEAKNESSES: Miami’s defensive line has undergone a massive overhaul after the loss of standout defensive tackle Christian Wilkins and others in free agency. The Dolphins made several new additions, including six-time Pro Bowler Calais Campbell, who has experience playing for new defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver. But the interior defensive line is a concern after the Dolphins cut Teair Tart and with Benito Jones sidelined with an injury.
CAMP DEVELOPMENT: Skylar Thompson beat out Mike White for the backup quarterback job after a strong preseason finale in which he directed two touchdown drives with 190 yards passing. But Miami’s offense will be without Odell Beckham Jr. for at least the first four games. Beckham will begin the season on the physically unable to perform list because of undisclosed injuries that McDaniel has indicated he’s not concerned about.
