As practice gets going, it appears to be official. Today is the Dolphins first day in full pads. #FinsCamp

Dolphins rookie CB Jamar Taylor, who has been nursing a groin injury since OTAs, is sidelined during practice 3. Possible setback.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 23, 2013
Team is in pads and getting loose in the bubble. Will go outside to the fields at about 840. #FinsCamp

Rookie hazing has begun. Several rookies and free agents wearing ridiculously terrible haircuts.
— Armando Salguero (@ArmandoSalguero) July 23, 2013
RT @JamesWalkerESPN: Dolphins rookie CB Jamar Taylor is still in shorts, which means he's not full go. He couldn't finish practice on Monday
— James Walker (@espn_afceast) July 23, 2013
Jimmy Wilson is indeed the free safety and Kelcie McCray is the strong safety. However, Dolphins WANT interchangeable safeties.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 23, 2013
Rookie Keelan Johnson is a free safety on the JV defense and fellow rookies Jordan Kovacs and Don Jones are the strong safety.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 23, 2013
Dolphins DT Tracy Robertson, who is 6-4, 300 pounds, is being used as a backup DE on the 2nd team line. Likely until Dion Jordan is cleared.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 23, 2013
Most of you saw Dion Jordan's new hair. Emeka Onyenekwu has half his hair dyed blonde. Split right down the middle.

No surprise but tight end Dustin Keller with the first team in bubble a day after Philbin said he's no lock to start

Charles Clay first in to replace Keller

Dion Jordan has pads and a helmet on. He's doing pre-practice work. I'm thinking he's working today.

RT @JamesWalkerESPN: #Dolphins rookie Dallas Thomas is the second-team LT. Miami is looking for depth. Not much behind Jonathan Martin.

I stand corrected, folks. John Denney was born in the '70s

Richard Marshall just broke up a Tannehill pass to Brian Hartline.

Daniel Thomas, who is the third down back, catches a screen pass from Tannehill.

Tannehill hits a wide open Mike Wallace for what would have been a TD in real life. Should quiet the doubters for a moment at least.
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) July 23, 2013
My bad. Matt Moore was the quarterback on the Daniel Thomas reception.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 23, 2013
Dustin Keller and Michael Egnew are the two tight ends playing together. Egnew just caught a pass from Tannehill during 11-on-11s.
— Omar Kelly (@OmarKelly) July 23, 2013
Keller, Clay, Egnew... Tight ends are definitely active and being targeted in today's practice.
— Andrew Abramson (@AbramsonPBP) July 23, 2013
Dan Carpenter made his first field goal and then split the uprights on a 52-yarder, which had room to spare.

Lamar Miller no longer has a special team assignment (featured back status) so during those drills he's working with his position coach

I always get drawn into the fascination with Will Yeatman. He LOOKS like he should be a good O-lineman. They've invested 2 seasons into him.

Olivier Vernon continues to show up in practice and makes defining plays. Different player than I saw last year.

That last drill wasn't true 11-on-11. It was inside run drill, which clearly favors the D. When offense begins passing tide might turn.

Second Tannehill throw is a quick out to Charles Clay. Phillip Wheeler gets the ball out along the sidelines, but play is over.

Vaughn Martin gets a would be sack of Matt Moore. He follows it up by tipping Moore's pass at the LOS on the next play. He's ballin today.

Phillip Wheeler would have sacked Tannehill on a LBER blitz. These O-linemen are confused about who is coming, who is dropping back.

Brandon Gibson drops an easy gift from Tannehill during drills. He was completely wide open on a 10 yarder
