The Miami Dolphins begin their preseason schedule on Friday night as they face off against the Atlanta Falcons. The two teams held joint practices on Tuesday and Wednesday, now the Falcons' visit to South Florida culminates with the opening contest for each team in 2023. After a little over two weeks of practices, it is time to go full speed, make complete tackles, and start to get back into actual game action.
Starters for both teams will likely sit out this game, though Miami has not made any official indication. Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel was asked on Tuesday about deciding if starters will play in tonight’s game. He answered, “I’m sure in the future, future Mike will decide that there’ll definitely be some starters that don’t play. There will probably be some starters that do. And that’s not a punishment. That’s more of like where they’re at in their game and doing right by them so that Week 1, you don’t spend a quarter or half a game getting the bugs or the rust off. That’s not fair to anybody.”
