The Splash Zone 8/13/21: Notes From Practice #2 With The Bears

The Dolphins and the Bears held their second joint practice together and thankfully there have been no major injuries so far. Tua Tagovailoa had another great day of practice and is having himself a pretty good training camp. The second year quarterback is out to prove his doubters wrong after an up and down rookie season. Justin Fields seemed to have a good practice too, which should have Bear fans excited. Just one more day until we can finally watch some Dolphins football!

You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.
