The Miami Dolphins’ officially open training camp with their first practice next week, giving the players and coaches about 12 more days before they are back on the practice field. As training camp, and ultimately the 2017 regular season, gets closer, we take a look at the Dolphins’ 2017 regular season schedule, with some assistance from the bloggers who cover each of Miami’s opponents.
We start with Miami’s Week 1 contest, a home game on September 10 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. We asked the guys over at Bucs Nation for some of the notable offseason roster moves as well as the draft picks that they expect to see get some playing time this year, as well as the biggest storylines for the team heading into training camp and any notable injuries the team has heading into the summer workouts.

Under-the-radar storyline heading into training camp
Safety: Justin Evans, J.J. Wilcox, Chris Conte and Keith Tandy could all earn a starting job, so which two will come out on top?
Notable injuries heading into training camp
No severe ones. A few that should be healthy by training camp: Noah Spence, Jacquies Smith, J.J. Wilcox, Justin Evans most notably.
