Justin Joly took a red-eye from Denver and was practicing with Miami hours later. Now the rookie tight end could be needed immediately as Will Kacmarek and Seydou Traore work their way back from injuries. #MiamiDolphins #JustinJoly #FinsUp #Dolphins #NFL

Miami completely rebuilt the quarterback room, but that hasn’t eliminated the biggest concern: what happens if Malik Willis can’t play? With Kyle McCord and Brady Cook behind him, the Dolphins desperately need their QB1 to deliver.

No Fernando Mendoza in Week 1. The Raiders are going with Kirk Cousins, setting up a fascinating first test for Jeff Hafley’s defense: stop the run, unleash Chop Robinson and make Cousins beat you. #MiamiDolphins #KirkCousins #Raiders #FinsUp #NFL

Aaron Brewer, Zach Sieler and Jordyn Brooks feel like locks—but who joins them? Malik Willis has a strong case, while De’Von Achane, Patrick Paul and Dante Trader are my dark horses. #MiamiDolphins #MalikWillis #FinsUp #Dolphins #NFL

The Dolphins want to be physical, tough and old-school—so why are they still wearing uniforms designed for a completely different identity? Make the throwbacks permanent, then modernize them without losing what made them great.

Kyle Louis is officially listed as a linebacker, but don’t let the label fool you. Jeff Hafley is giving the rookie work at safety—and if his versatility translates, Miami might have found an unexpected solution to one of its biggest roster problems.

Every day brings another reason to buy into Jacob Rodriguez. Jeff Hafley’s praise is great, but Miami’s actions matter more: they handed Rodriguez the starting job and were comfortable enough to eliminate his veteran competition.

Kenneth Grant and Trey Moore are eligible to return after Week 4—and Grant could provide an immediate boost to a thin defensive front. Imagine Miami getting healthier up front just as the season hits its second month. #MiamiDolphins #KennethGrant #FinsUp #Dolphins #NFL

Seven waiver claims plus another defensive-line addition, and Jon-Eric Sullivan’s message is clear: nobody’s roster spot is safe. Miami is going to keep churning the bottom of the roster until it finds players worth building around.

The Dolphins originally thought Chris Bell might not return until after the Week 6 bye. Instead, the rookie worked his way back months ahead of schedule—and now he has a chance to become an immediate part of Miami’s offense.

Jon-Eric Sullivan calls Chop Robinson Miami’s “most gifted rusher” and says he has big expectations for him. After a dominant training camp, it’s time for Robinson to turn that potential into every-down production. #ChopRobinson #MiamiDolphins #FinsUp #Dolphins #NFL

“It was not getting done at the level it needed to get done.” Jon-Eric Sullivan didn’t sugarcoat why Miami moved on from Quinn Ewers—and that blunt assessment tells us a lot about how this new Dolphins regime will operate.

Patience is one thing. Having a roster that’s too depleted to properly evaluate your young players is another. The Dolphins still have cap space and the waiver wire — so how much more help should Jon-Eric Sullivan add before Week 1?

Miami released Tyrel Dodson, and that means rookie Jacob Rodriguez is officially the Dolphins’ starting MIKE linebacker. After a standout camp, Jeff Hafley is betting on Rodriguez’s speed and versatility right away.

Kyle McCord isn’t going to beat you with elite athleticism — he wins with processing, anticipation and getting the ball out fast. And the Dolphins just paired him with a coach who already knows exactly how to use him.

Four quarterbacks out. One quarterback in. In less than 48 hours, the Dolphins completely reset the depth chart behind Malik Willis — and somehow turned Quinn Ewers into new QB2 Kyle McCord in the process. #MiamiDolphins #KyleMcCord #MalikWillis #FinsUp #NFL

Jeff Hafley isn’t defining success by a win total. He wants identity, development and long-term answers — so by December, the real question is: how many building blocks did the Dolphins find?

Moving Jonah Savaiinaea back to right guard might have changed everything. After a rough rookie year, he looks faster, more comfortable and far more physical — exactly the development Miami desperately needs.

Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon had all summer to take control of the RB2 job. Neither did — and now Jarquez Hunter is here to compete. Who should be backing up De’Von Achane?

#MiamiDolphins #DeVonAchane #FinsUp #Dolphins #NFL

The Dolphins traded Tutu Atwell to the Rams for Jarquez Hunter, and the move says a lot about GM Jon-Eric Sullivan’s rebuilding strategy.
