Miami Dolphins Prepare for Preseason Opener with Roster Projections
The Miami Dolphins are set to play their first preseason game of the summer against the Washington Commanders. As the team approaches this matchup, the clarity of their 53-man roster is beginning to improve.
Current projections indicate that Malik Willis and Quinn Ewers are in contention for the quarterback position, while Cam Miller is not expected to make the cut. In the running back category, De’Von Achane, Jaylen Wright, Ollie Gordon II, and Carlos Washington Jr. are noted as strong candidates, with Washington Jr. standing out during training camp. The wide receiver group includes rookies Caleb Douglas and Kevin Coleman Jr., alongside Malik Washington, while veterans face uncertainty.
The Dolphins are likely to adopt a tight end-heavy offensive strategy, which could benefit players like Greg Dulcich and Ben Sims. On the offensive line, a stable starting five is projected, with some new additions and rookies vying for backup roles. The defensive line appears solid, with Zach Sieler and Jordan Phillips receiving positive evaluations. As the preseason unfolds, the competition for remaining roster spots intensifies, particularly in skill positions and the linebacker group.
