13 Aug
Summary
- Dolphins travel to Virginia for joint practices and preseason game.
- Key focus on new secondary against Washington's passing attack.
- Quarterback Malik Willis and offensive line face scrutiny.
The Miami Dolphins are set to face the Washington Commanders in Ashburn, Virginia, for joint practices and their initial preseason game. This outing serves as an important evaluation for the Dolphins' new-look roster against an external opponent.
Defensively, the team's revamped secondary will be tested by Washington's formidable passing attack. Rookies such as first-round pick CB Chris Johnson will have an opportunity to prove themselves in a live-game environment. Additionally, the performance of edge rusher Chop Robinson and linebacker Jacob Rodriguez will be closely monitored.
On the offensive side, quarterback Malik Willis is expected to solidify his starting role, while the wide receiver rotation and the offensive line, bolstered by Austin Jackson's return, face significant scrutiny. This game will reveal the team's readiness and cohesion before the regular season begins.
