The Miami Dolphins will hold their second of three practice days during the team's 2016 mandatory veteran minicamp. The day will also mark the first time the entire team has been available for practice, as rookie Thomas Duarte has graduated from UCLA, which uses the quarters system, and is now eligible to join the Dolphins.
Wednesday will also mark the return of safety Reshad Jones, who had been holding out of the team’s offseason workouts in a contract dispute. Jones reported to minicamp after missing Tuesday’s practice.
Wednesday’s practice will run from 10:25am ET to 12:05pm.
As we did during the team’s Organized Team Activities over the last few weeks, we will bring you an update from the media-open practice using Twitter. Below, you will find a Twitter list embedded with tweets from the various beat reporters covering the Dolphins. We will also embed the individual tweets for people who are reading this article after the practice, so they do not have to try to scroll back through the list to see what happened.
Feel free to discuss anything from the workouts that catches your attention using the comments section at the end of this article.

#Dolphins have not agreed to a new deal with Reshad Jones, per source. He's back under same contract terms

DeVante Parker is practicing today, likely doing just individual drills. Adam Gase said he will do more on Thursday.

Finally...11-on-11...same starters as u'd expect.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) June 15, 2016
Be interesting to see if Reshad Jones gets any action in this 11-on-11.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) June 15, 2016
No 11-on-11 for Reshad Jones yet.

First play of 11-on-11's goes to Jordan Cameron from a pass from Tannehill #Dolphins

Not expecting DeVante Parker in 11-on-11. Still taking it easy w/him.
— Chris Perkins (@chrisperk) June 15, 2016
If minicamp practices are any indication, Tannehill and Cameron chemistry still needs work
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) June 15, 2016
Dallas Thomas and Billy Turner were rotating as OG starters yesterday, Adam Gase said. And today is no different.

The #Dolphins' offense got its butt kicked yesterday in minicamp. The group is making more plays early against the D in team drills today.
— James Walker (@JamesWalkerNFL) June 15, 2016
It's very early but offense needs to work hard to outdo the 19.3 ppg it scored last year. Again, it's very early.

Ryan Tannehill is carving the defense up during 7-on-7. But keep in mind there is no pass rush on this drill.
