DOLPHINS SQUAD SHOW: Dolphins Have BIG Decisions Coming: Injuries, Roster Battles & Falcons Preview

The Miami Dolphins are entering the final stage of training camp with major roster decisions looming, key injuries piling up and one final preseason opportunity for players fighting to make Jeff Hafley’s first 53-man roster.

Host Jim “Gries” Grieshaber is joined by Locked On Dolphins host and Dolphins insider Kyle Crabbs, former Miami Dolphins defensive lineman Jeff “Z” Zgonina, newcomer Wes Goldberg of Locked On Dolphins Hits and the Squad to examine where Miami stands following its 26-3 preseason loss to the New York Giants.

The Dolphins managed just 102 total yards and three first downs against New York, but the bigger concern coming out of the weekend is the state of Miami’s roster and several important injuries.

Rookie linebacker Trey Moore is headed for ankle surgery after emerging as one of Miami’s most versatile young defenders, while defensive tackle Kenneth Grant remains week-to-week. The Squad also examines the latest on Zach Sieler, Jordyn Brooks and Tyrel Dodson.

There are positives.

Kyle breaks down several players who helped themselves against New York, including Jackson Woodard, Josh Priebe, Kevin Coleman Jr., Keith Cooper Jr. and Alex Austin. The crew also discusses the emergence of Dante Trader Jr. and Chris Johnson, Chop Robinson’s impressive summer, and Malik Willis’ overall progress despite a difficult Tuesday practice.

Then the focus turns to the biggest question of the week:

Who actually makes the Dolphins’ final 53?

Miami still has major decisions at backup quarterback, wide receiver, offensive-line depth, safety, cornerback and throughout the front seven.

The Dolphins have already begun churning the bottom of the roster, claiming wide receiver Ryan Miller from the New York Giants while waiving Tahj Washington and adding new players as Jon-Eric Sullivan prepares for leaguewide roster cuts.

Kyle identifies the players sitting closest to the roster bubble, while Z explains what an NFL player fighting for one of the final jobs can actually do in his final preseason opportunity to force a coaching staff to keep him.

Finally, the Squad previews Friday’s preseason finale against the Atlanta Falcons, including whether Miami’s starters should play, the unresolved QB2 competition between Quinn Ewers and Cam Miller, the potential preseason debut of Chris Bell, and the final roster battles Jeff Hafley needs resolved.

Plus, former Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa returns to Miami as his competition with Michael Penix Jr. continues in Atlanta.

It’s a loaded edition of the Dolphins Squad Show as Miami moves one step closer to Week 1.
