Dolphins backup quarterback Quinn Ewers had a subpar game in Friday’s preseason loss to Washington, going 1 for 8 for 27 yards and throwing an interception. Coach Jeff Hafley stated Saturday that he is not considering bringing in another backup quarterback for Ewers’ role behind starter Malik Willis. Hafley acknowledged the missed throws and poor decision-making, but praised Ewers for his performance last season and during the offseason program.

Rookie Caleb Douglas had an impressive one-handed catch for 28 yards, which made ESPN’s Top 10 list, but also had a negated 33-yard reception due to stepping out of bounds after making the catch. Coach Hafley emphasized the importance of learning from mistakes and improving.
