Dolphins enter camp confident in QB Tua Tagovailoa and with improvements on defense

MIAMI DOLPHINS (9-8)

CAMP SITE: Miami Gardens, Florida

KEY ADDITIONS: Defensive Coordinator Vic Fangio, CB Jalen Ramsey, LB David Long Jr., WR Braxton Berrios, S DeShon Elliott, QB Mike White, TE Eric Saubert, CB Cam Smith, RB De’Von Achane, LB Malik Reed, P Jake Bailey.

KEY LOSSES: TE Mike Gesicki, QB Teddy Bridgewater, P Thomas Morstead, WR Trent Sherfield, LB Elandon Roberts.

KEY STORYLINES: Dolphins GM Chris Grier improved the defense by bringing in respected defensive mind Vic Fangio and trading for All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey. Running backs Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson will be the top ball carriers entering camp after the Dolphins re-signed them earlier this year. But rookie De’Von Achane, the speedy running back out of Texas A&M, impressed during minicamp and OTAs and figures to be a perfect fit in Mike McDaniel’s scheme. The Dolphins made noise in the AFC East last season behind a vastly improved Tua Tagovailoa and picked up the fifth-year option on his rookie contract in March. Tagovailoa was diagnosed with two concussions in 2022, so his ability to stay on the field will be key to Miami’s success.
