Live blog: What’s happening at Dolphins practice on the day Xavien Howard strikes new deal BY BARRY JACKSON AND ARMANDO SALGUERO UPDATED AUGUST 08, 2021 02:56 In the meantime, a live blog on Dolphins training camp practice Day 10: 12:30 p.m.: Tua Tagovailoa threw two interceptions late in practice after a strong first 90 minutes. The first wasn’t his fault; Eric Rowe picked off a pass when Adam Shaheen appeared to run the wrong route. Tagovailoa’s second interception was a poor throw and a very good play by safety Jevon Holland, who had his second interception in three days with the starters at free safety. Javaris Davis had good coverage on Jakeem Grant on the play, and Holland grabbed the pick. But Tagovailoa ended the day with a short TD throw to Mack Hollins.... The team ran sprints afterward. It was encouraging to see Jaelan Phillips run sprints; he has been out the past nine days with an undisclosed lower body injury. 12:22 p.m.: Rookie tight end Hunter Long sustained a leg injury (looked like a knee) and was removed in a cart. He seemed to injure himself on a run after catch on a completion from Jacoby Brissett. He fell hard to the turf and couldn’t put pressure on the leg.... Zach Sieler and Nik Needham had would-be sacks on Jacoby Brissett.
