Dolphins Close the Curtain on Preseason

We have concluded the final week of the NFL preseason and next up is the 2025-2026 season that is very anticipated for the Miami Dolphins. This will be a crucial year depending on results if the Dolphins organization decides to scrap the Mike McDaniels project or at least put him on the hot seat. It will also be a test for franchise QB Tua Tagovailoa who has faced his own health challenges leaving many question marks. We will see if the relationship between Tagovailoa and WR Tyreek Hill will impact chemistry and play on the field. The Dolphins this week made its roster cuts as they head into week one of the season.

Released:

Mike Hilton

Pharoah Brown

Mike Boone

Aaron Shampklin

Ethan Robinson

Cameron Dantzler

Jackson Carman

Addison West

Jalen McKenzie

Mason Brooks

Ben Stille

AJ Henning

It's important to note heading into week one the Dolphins will be without kicker Jason Sanders for four-to-five weeks with an undisclosed injury. Kenneth Grant who's been out will be back and available for week one. Darren Waller was activated off of the unable to perform list and will continue to do more in practice. Also on the injury reserve heading into the season are: Liam Eichenberg, Jaylen Wright, Ashtyn Davis, Ethan Bonner, and Adrew Meyer. The deadline to cut the roster down to 53 will be on Tuesday at 4:00 pm.

The Dolphins closed out the preseason welcoming the Jacksonville Jaguars to Hard Rock Stadium where the Dolphins defeated the Jaguars 14-6. Tagovailoa was involved in his only preseason action throwing a touchdown for 25-yards and being sacked twice. That touchdown was a connection with Malik Washington followed by a touchdown run by Mike Boone for seven yards. The Jaguars got on the board through Cam Little who nailed filed goals from 59 and 43.

Next up for the Miami Dolphins is a road game to open up the season against the Indianapolis Colts on September 7 at 1:00 pm EST.
