The Miami Dolphins return to the practice field on Sunday, continuing their 2023 training camp period. They also welcome fans into the training facility for the first time, opening the workout to the public. We will continue to keep up with all the action here in our live update thread.
Today will also introduce the newest Dolphins player, cornerback Eli Apple. Miami signed Apple on Saturday, adding a veteran cornerback to the roster after Jalen Ramsey was injured and is not expected to return until December. Apple and wide receiver Tyreek Hill have a history of trash-talking each other, making their in-camp battles as teammates as a potentially must-watch aspect of the practices.
Also, as we have noted previously, the X/Twitter list embeds are still broken, meaning we cannot insert our coverage list as we have in years past. Instead, we are manually updating the article below and are looking for a new way to make this a little more streamlined.
Make sure you join in the conversation about everything happening in the comments below.
Training camp updates:
(Fans are allowed to watch today’s practice, which should allow for live updates from the reporters in attendance as well.)

Zach Thomas said his kids are just excited for today about getting a picture with Tua and Tyreek.

“They are big Tua fans,” Thomas said.
You can at least understand the Dolphins approach in sense they have 2 backs in top 12 per carry average last year & a blazing rookie and are in 2024 cap hell. But the way it has played out, with Dolphins passively showing interest for more than 5 months, has been a bit unusual https://t.co/4ftWgUIiou

Every time he didn’t make the HoF, Zach Thomas told his family they “could vent for a day” but he doesn’t need to hear it after that.
— Marcel Louis-Jacques (@Marcel_LJ) July 30, 2023
So many players deserved the honor, Thomas didn’t feel right saying he deserved it more than anyone who was selected

Tyreek gives Kohou a little stutter on a comeback route but great coverage keeping him stacked along the sideline and the pass is incomplete

Tua to Ezukanma for a deep go route TD against Tino Ellis

Continue to see Holland excel in coverage. There’s a theme of length in this defensive backfield and it shows up every day.

Mike White opens Day 4 with his best play as a Dolphin, long completion to Jaylen Waddle
— Joe Schad (@schadjoe) July 30, 2023
Mitchell Agude sheds a block on OZ and stacks up a run by Salvon Ahmed.
— Travis Wingfield (@WingfieldNFL) July 30, 2023
This time Salvon finds a crease and takes off into the second level. Eric Saubert had a downblock that sprung him

Tua completed a deep pass to Tyreek Hill #MiamiDolphins
— Joe Schad (@schadjoe) July 30, 2023
Tua’s got Tyreek all alone and uncorks a 75-yard TD.
— Travis Wingfield (@WingfieldNFL) July 30, 2023
The show is on for the fans here at Baptist Health Training Complex
Ok the Dolphins offense might be activated. Tua finds Tyreek deep with Elijah Campbell in coverage (could have been a sack tbh)
— Daniel Oyefusi (@DanielOyefusi) July 30, 2023
Dolphins try the outside with Raheem but McKinnley comes down as the force defender to set the edge and Channing Tindall scrapes over the top with a stuff.
— Travis Wingfield (@WingfieldNFL) July 30, 2023
Chubb jumps inside on an outside run and forces Gaskin to bubble and bounce. Because of that bubble, Kohou comes screaming down and tags off right at the line
— Travis Wingfield (@WingfieldNFL) July 30, 2023

And he gets a TFL in 11-on-11 drills, so Jaelan Phillips is active in his first practice back. https://t.co/XRGFLEQMnl
— David Furones (@DavidFurones_) July 30, 2023
First play of red-zone 11s sees Tua pass to Alec Ingold, who takes it the rest of the way for a 15-yard TD.
— David Furones (@DavidFurones_) July 30, 2023
Tua fakes the handoff, pump fakes over the middle, moves the entire defense, goes back outside to Smythe for a good gain to set up a first and goal.
— Travis Wingfield (@WingfieldNFL) July 30, 2023

3rd-and-goal from the 7: Tua shows nice touch on a TD pass to Mostert on the right side of the end zone. Kohou in coverage
— Daniel Oyefusi (@DanielOyefusi) July 30, 2023
Raheem runs a GORGEOUS double move that gets Kader to take the cheese, then Tua layers a touch pass to the back pylon for a TD. Tua is cooking.
— Travis Wingfield (@WingfieldNFL) July 30, 2023
Red Zone Tua is a bad bad man #FinsUp pic.twitter.com/LD67DexYxN
— ABDY (@Abdysphere) July 30, 2023
Emmanuel Ogbah, Duke Riley combine for nice TFL in red zone.
— David Furones (@DavidFurones_) July 30, 2023
Next play, Myles Gaskin catches a TD from Mike White over Channing Tindall.
Second-and-5 from the 10: Mike White TD pass to Gaskin, who beat Channing Tindall in the end zone

New Dolphins CB Eli Apple is getting some work in team drills. Was just around on a screen pass to Braxton Berrios
— Daniel Oyefusi (@DanielOyefusi) July 30, 2023
Pace of practice is FAST today. You’ve seen really nice touch throws in the current RZ period from White & Tua.
— Kyle Crabbs (@GrindingTheTape) July 30, 2023
Skylar makes a decisive quick shot to Saubert amidst pressure into the back of the end zone. When he let it go I thought – great rip, Skylar, that’s 6 -- but there’s Van Ginkel getting depth on his drop to deflect the football.
— Travis Wingfield (@WingfieldNFL) July 30, 2023

Great sideline pursuit by David Long Jr. on a run by Ahmed and then a very brief skirmish near the end zone
— Daniel Oyefusi (@DanielOyefusi) July 30, 2023
Good coverage and good pass pro has Tua surveying the field for a minute, ultimately finds Ahmed who races in for the TD. This has been Tua and the offense’s best day so far.
— Travis Wingfield (@WingfieldNFL) July 30, 2023
Cedrick Wilson Jr. muffed a punt.
— David Furones (@DavidFurones_) July 30, 2023
More 11-on-11 work incoming ( )
— Daniel Oyefusi (@DanielOyefusi) July 30, 2023
White is still running 11s right now, though https://t.co/mgr5OMB1Pa
— Daniel Oyefusi (@DanielOyefusi) July 30, 2023
More 11s: Jaylen Waddle had a step on Eli Apple, but Mike White overthrew him. White also appeared to have someone maybe step on his left foot, but he shook it off and remains in for ensuing snaps.
— David Furones (@DavidFurones_) July 30, 2023
Salvon Ahmed has a bend back run with some shiftiness that gets the oos and ahhs from the crowd. His camp has been very impressive.
— Travis Wingfield (@WingfieldNFL) July 30, 2023

Van Ginkel beats a block and Elijah Campbell inserts against the run for a stop after a short gain by Raheem Mostert.
— Travis Wingfield (@WingfieldNFL) July 30, 2023
Cam Smith breaks up a pass from Tua to Braylon Sanders.
— David Furones (@DavidFurones_) July 30, 2023
By my count, first sack against Tua today. Chubb gets around the edge and meets Sieler at the QB. Tua stepped up out of it but Wilkins was mirror and was there for the simulated sack.
— Travis Wingfield (@WingfieldNFL) July 30, 2023
Jaelan Phillips tips a pass from Skylar Thompson and the LOS and celebrates for good measure
— Daniel Oyefusi (@DanielOyefusi) July 30, 2023
Thompson wants Tyreek but Igbinoghene is in good position. Skylar holds it and is likely sacked by a crumbling pocket before shooting it wide to the back. Good coverage from 9 on the play.

Phillips is not fooled by a run fake and forces Tua to grond a pass immeidatley after getting his head back around to the defense
— Travis Wingfield (@WingfieldNFL) July 30, 2023
We're back to red zone work. Pressure from Christian Wilkins forces Tua to throw the ball into the ground on a short rollout
— Daniel Oyefusi (@DanielOyefusi) July 30, 2023
On third-and-goal from the 7, Tua is flushed to his left with nobody to throw to. Saw Jaelan Phillips tag off Tua
— Daniel Oyefusi (@DanielOyefusi) July 30, 2023
Raheem Mostert follows the block of Austin Jackson for a RZ TD.
— Travis Wingfield (@WingfieldNFL) July 30, 2023
Next play, Phillips in again for a sack. Orange jersey might be beckoning for 15 tomorrow.
Campbell is in coverage on Cedrick Wilson and shrinks the window, White’s throw goes incomplete. Good day for Campbell both against the run and in coverage.
— Travis Wingfield (@WingfieldNFL) July 30, 2023
Achane wins the foot race to the front pylon on an outside run for a 6-yard TD – speed very much on display there
— Travis Wingfield (@WingfieldNFL) July 30, 2023
Very nice back-shoulder ball to Tyreek in the corner for a TD – Tyreek quiet hands didn’t flash until the ball was on him, kept the defender in the dark.
— Travis Wingfield (@WingfieldNFL) July 30, 2023
Skylar’s first read isn’t there, pumps, gives time for Randy Charlton to get in for the sack in red zone
— Travis Wingfield (@WingfieldNFL) July 30, 2023
That's a wrap! Podcast and story coming your way after a very, very fun day here at Dolphins camp.

This might have been David Long Jr.’s best practice as a Dolphin to date. You saw a little bit of everything, from sun support to coverage skills.
— Daniel Oyefusi (@DanielOyefusi) July 30, 2023
Ton of speed in the middle of the defense with him and Jerome Baker.
