The Splash Zone 8/19/23: Dolphins/Texans, Preseason game #2

The Miami Dolphins and Houston Texans will square off this evening for their week 2 preseason matchup. The two teams held joint practices during the week with the most notable news being Dolphins left tackle, Terron Armstead, leaving practice early the one day with an injury. Thankfully Armstead seems to have avoided a major injury scare and is aiming to play week 1 of the season.

Dolphins head coach, Mike McDaniel, has not decided on how many starters will play during the game. Last week, barely any of the presumed starters played but maybe we can expect to see a couple during this week's game. We just got to hope that the team can avoid any more injuries.

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