The Miami Dolphins are the youngest team in the NFL this season, assembling a roster dominated by rookies and second-year players. The team aims to transition from a consistently average franchise to one that regularly competes for deep postseason runs. To expedite this development process, the Dolphins have implemented 7-on-7 practice sessions for their second- and third-team players on Thursdays after their regular practice.
These sessions provide additional coaching, help backup players familiarize themselves with the starters, and offer more hands-on practice time. Head coach Jeff Hafley sees these sessions as crucial for the development of the team's backups. Additionally, rookie cornerback Chris Johnson recorded an impressive play during the last game, forcing a fumble with a one-handed catch.
Meanwhile, rookie safety Kyle Louis returned to practice on Wednesday, marking the start of his 21-day recovery window from an injury. Quarterback Malik Willis also practiced fully despite suffering a thumb injury. The Dolphins received further positive news as two of their rookie draft picks participated in a full practice. Looking ahead, the Dolphins face the New York Jets in a game that could potentially be their first win of the season.
