The Dolphins will give their starters a little more game action before the preseason is over. Head coach Mike McDaniel said at a Thursday press conference that the team plans to play their first-stringers in Saturday night’s game against the Jaguars. The duration of their time on the field has not been determined at this point. The two teams are going to have a joint practice on Thursday and McDaniel said that he will meet with the team’s coaches to come up with a plan for playing time after that session. Once the Dolphins wrap up their game with Jacksonville, they’ll turn their attention to making their final cuts and then move on to preparing for Daniel Jones and the Colts in Week, 1.
With all of the guys who are dinged, I would imagine that a lot of them aren't in there regardless. Tyreek, Achane, Wright, and Jackson on offense, for sure. I'm really most interested to see how Ewers looks passing the ball to guys who will actually be on the 53 man roster as the backup.
Wright vs. Gordon for me. Just feels like Wright hasn't seized a clear second RB role and Gordon may get a big chunk of carries, especially if Achane misses time in the first week or two.
