The Miami Dolphins lost to the Chicago Bears on Thursday in the first preseason game for each club. Preseason games are less about the final score than they are about the experience gained by players and film the coaches get after the contest. The Dolphins kept most of the starters in for only one series, allowing the depth players to play most of the snaps. This afternoon, we take a look at the snap counts and percentages for each player on the Miami offense from the game against the Bears.
Starters are highlighted in orange, bold, and italics. The chart is sorted into position groups.
