The Miami Dolphins have embarked on a nice road trip as they head north to prepare for a joint practice with the Chicago Bears today. The two teams will then meet again on Sunday when they play their first preseason game. When that concludes, the team will then pack up again and make another trip to meet up with the Detroit Lions for some joint practices before another preseason game. Then it’s back to Miami to finish up the preseason against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The little road trip should be a nice team bonding experience as the Dolphins try to...

While we migrated to our new site design (which caused a slight delay in the updating of this tracker), the Miami Dolphins continued training camp in Miami Gardens, Florida. As is customary in the Mike McDaniel regime, each day at practice, a new player is awarded the orange jersey given to the team’s best practice player from the previous session.

During our brief hiatus, two players were honored with the brightly colored threads.

Who were those players?

During the team’s 11th training camp practice, the newest long-term signee for the Dolphins, defensive tackle Zach Sieler was designated as the team’s...

In a post from last week, I asked a question about our Miami Dolphins’ biggest rival:

Who, in your mind, are the Dolphins’ biggest current rival in the AFC East, and why? Beyond that, who do you believe are the Dolphins’ other rivals outside of their division and why?

Below are some of your thoughts and answers-

sdphinsfan believes that the current free agency setup and the collective bargaining agreement have ruined rivalries.

FA and the CBA have ruined rivalries in the NFL. But back in the day, the Fins and Raiders had a pretty good rivalry going,...

The Miami Dolphins traded away their best tight end, Jonnu Smith, to the Pittsburgh Steelers who was one of their best offensive weapons last season. The Dolphins then traded with the New York Giants for Darren Waller, who was in retirement but said he would only play for the Dolphins. Waller has yet to practice with his new team as he gets back into football shape but he could be seeing the field soon according to Mike McDaniel. While he didn’t specify a date McDaniel basically said it would be sooner rather than later.

After another long offseason for the NFL and NCAA football, our Miami Dolphins will finally have live football again for the first time since early January. While this is not a game that counts toward the official season, it remains important for the coaching staff as they make decisions about the final roster for September. But what about you, the fan? I have to assume that most people who visit The Phinsider to stay updated on the latest Dolphins news and engage in discussions with fellow Phins fans are “rabid fans.” As rabid fans, most of us don’t miss a...

The Miami Dolphins have released their initial depth chart of the 2025 preseason ahead of their meeting with the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Miami and Chicago will also hold a joint practice on Friday as both teams prepare themselves for the start of the regular season in September.

Miami and the Bears kickoff at 1 p.m. Eastern on Sunday. The game will be televised on NFL Network for a national audience while in Miami, CBS will have the coverage.

Dolphins offensive depth chart

The offensive side of the depth chart is below. Liam Eichenberg and Darren Waller are included...

During Tuesday’s media availability with select Miami Dolphins players, linebacker Jaelan Phillips let it slip that left tackle Patrick Paul, often seen as a quiet individual off the field, is a “s***-talker” on the field. Paul, entering his second year in the league and his first as the team’s starting left tackle, was a second-round pick by Miami last year, seeing playing time when Terron Armstead was unable to play. Paul assumes the starting role this year after Armstead’s retirement, and it seems like he is ready to run with the opportunity.

On Wednesday, Paul met with the media and...

The Miami Dolphins are in the final preparation for their trip to Illinois to practice with, then play against, the Chicago Bears this weekend. Wide receiver Tyreek Hill was not on the practice field on Wednesday due to an undisclosed injury. The Dolphins are likely to be overly cautious with any injury to their Pro Bowl wideout, who struggled throughout much of the 2024 season with a wrist injury.

Multiple reporters reported the missed practice at the team’s training facility on Wednesday – with the South Florida Sun Sentinel’s Chris Perkins among the first to make the report.

Hill had...

Things will look a little different around here today.

A few weeks ago we told you something new was coming to The Phinsider and today it’s here. Things are cleaner, faster and easier to use. There are the same writers, coverage, comments, and community you’ve come to rely on, now with less clutter and clunkiness.

Let’s dive in. If you scroll down the page on your phone or computer, it’s smoother. You’ll notice that the most talked-about stories have a bigger font displaying the number of comments. You’ll also see a section called Active Conversations to point you to the...

There are times I really wish that our Miami Dolphins would be more aggressive about signing their own players to extensions when they are due or have outperformed their contracts. Other times, I'm just glad our front office isn't so stubborn that they wait until every veteran who deserves or is due a new deal reaches the point where the player asks for a trade, like Jerry Jones seems to do with the Dallas Cowboys. While I am aware, and I assume the fan base as a whole is happy to see Zach Sieler receive the extension he deserved and...

Welcome to the Splash Zone, the quickest way to get your day started off right. We bring you a rundown of Miami Dolphins news from the last 24 hours.

It’s not a Miami Dolphins training camp if the injuries didn’t start piling up. Over the weekend, the news came out the RT Austin Jackson would be out for a few weeks with a leg injury and the Dolphins had to scramble to find a replacement for the time being. The team quickly signed veteran Germain Ifedi, who has starting experience. To add onto the injury list, FB Alec Ingold entered...

The Dolphins fullback was injured during the team’s Sunday training camp during redzone work.

The Miami Dolphins received good news on the injury front before Sunday’s 2025 training camp practice, including right tackle Austin Jackson expected to be ready for Week 1, edge rusher Jaelan Phillips only sustaining a bruise, and safety Ifeatu Melifonwu returning from the non-football injury list. After weeks of seemingly constant news about players going down, it appeared the team was starting to see players getting back up.

Late in Sunday’s practice, however, the injury bug jumped back up, this time biting fullback Alec Ingold. The...
