Dolphins Joint Practice Breakdown Set

Published

Official dates and times are still missing, but the breakdown of Miami Dolphins joint practices is now set.

As suggested here once the Dolphins’ 2025 preseason schedule was finalized, the Dolphins will work with/against the Detroit Lions twice, and once each with/against the Chicago Bears and the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The final confirmation came Friday from Lions head coach Dan Campbell, who said his team would have two practices with/against the Dolphins ahead of their preseason game at Ford Field on Saturday, August 16.

That game will come six days after the Dolphins open their preseason schedule against the Bears at Soldier Field on Sunday, August 10 and a week before the preseason finale against the Jaguars at Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday, August 23.

Since teams do joint practices right before the day off before the game, logic suggests the Dolphins will work with the Bears on Friday, August 8; with the Lions on Wednesday, August 13 and Thursday, August 14; and with the Jaguars on Thursday, August 21.

It’s difficult to envision the Dolphins flying back to South Florida between the game at Chicago and the first joint practice at Detroit, so you can expect the Dolphins to simply stay in the Midwest and either have two days off after the game against the Bears (they’ve done this before) or practice once on their own.

As a reminder, NFL rules limit teams to four joint practices per year, meaning that like last year the Dolphins will work twice with/against one of their preseason opponents and once against the other two.

The Dolphins have never had a joint practice with Jacksonville or Detroit; they worked two days with the Bears in 2021 when Brian Flores was head coach.

The Dolphins last year conducted two joint practices with/against the Atlanta Falcons and one each with/against the Washington Commanders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Dolphins are 4-10-1 all-time against the Bears in the preseason, with the teams’ last meeting in 2021 — the Dolphins lost that game 20-13. This will be the first NFL action for new Bears coach Ben Johnson, who they hired after a successful tenure as the Lions’ offensive coordinator. Johnson also spent seven seasons on the Dolphins staff from 2012 to 2018.

Speaking of the Lions, the Dolphins will face another former coach in Week 2 of the preseason. Lions head coach Dan Campbell was on the Dolphins staff from 2010 through 2015, including a stint as the interim head coach in 2015.

Miami is 6-1 all-time against the Lions in the preseason, but the teams haven’t met since 1999.

Lastly, the Dolphins will play the Jaguars at Hard Rock Stadium. Miami is 6-5 all-time in the preseason against the Jaguars. The teams played in the preseason finale before the 2023 season, with the Dolphins dropping that game 31-18. However, the Dolphins did beat the Jaguars in the 2024 season opener.

Like the Bears, the Jaguars are coming into the 2025 season with a new coach. The team hired Liam Coen after his successful tenure as the Buccaneers’ offensive coordinator. It could also be an opportunity for the Dolphins fans to get a look at two-way phenom Travis Hunter.

Although he likely won’t play because front-line players typically sit out the preseason finale, there’s a small chance Hunter sees the field after the Jaguars traded up to second overall to select the Colorado star.

No. 22 Kentucky Outlasts Miami University in Wild Affair

Kentucky drew 11 walks, took seven hit by pitch and found a way to do just enough to outlast a Miami University team with a strong offense, registering a 14-11 victory in front of 3,733 fans enjoying the 80 degree weather at Kentucky Proud Park.

Kentucky now is 22-6 overall and 5-4 in the Southeastern Conference.

Four different players drove in multiple runs, five had multiple hits and five drew a hit by pitch as the No. 22 Wildcats figured out a way to claim their 22^nd victory of the season. The Cats erased deficits of 3-1 and 10-7 along the way with three more innings of at least three runs scored, including a six-run fourth inning.

Hudson Brown, Carson Hansen and Will Marcy each drove in three runs, Ethan Hindle reached base in five plate appearances without logging a single official at bat, Jayce Tharnish swiped his 19^th base and Luke Lawrence extended his reached base streak to 33 games.

On the flip side, the UK pitching staff did not have its best outing but Nile Adcock was sensational in pitching the final 2.2 innings. He escaped a bases loaded situation in the seventh inning but striking out a pair of hitters on six total pitches after entering the game and earned his second win.

Trump shares renderings of his presidential library — a massive skyscraper in Miami

Trump shares renderings of his presidential library — a massive skyscraper in Miami

President Donald Trump on Monday teased the plans for his presidential library in Miami.

Trump posted a video on Truth Social that shows a tall, glass building with a large needle on top. The building has his last name in gold lettering across its facade, an American flag hanging down the middle and a presidential plane displayed on the first floor. (A Boeing 747 given to Trump by the Qatari government is set to be displayed in his presidential library once he leaves office.)

The size of the proposed building dwarfs the nearby Freedom Tower, a downtown Miami landmark that carries special significance to Cuban immigrants in Florida — a key demographic that helped Trump win historically blue Miami-Dade County in 2024.

The video also shows replicas from Trump’s time in the White House, including the Oval Office, the West Colonnade featuring his so-called presidential walk of fame and his anticipated ballroom.

The presidential library will be designed by the Miami-based architecture and engineering firm Bermello Ajamil.

The site of the library — a prime piece of Miami real estate that borders the city’s waterfront — is a nearly 3-acre property valued at more than $67 million. The parcel became the source of a legal battle last fall after a federal judge paused the transfer of the land from a local college to the state. The judge ultimately threw out the case in December and allowed the transfer to continue.

The proposed site is not far from Trump National Doral, a resort owned by Trump’s family business.

In his Truth Social post sharing the video, Trump also included a link where people can donate to the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Foundation Inc.

Could Miami Dolphins trade up in first round of 2026 NFL Draft?

Could Miami Dolphins trade up in first round of 2026 NFL Draft?

Jon-Eric Sullivan — new Miami Dolphins general manager — has been busy acquiring a war chest of draft picks for the 2026 NFL Draft. The team currently has 11 picks in April’s selection process — including two first rounders and four third round picks.

While the team has plenty of holes in their roster that desperately need to be filled, could Sullivan’s stockpiling of picks have been conducted with the idea that the Dolphins want to move up in the first round of the draft in order to land an elite prospect?

Yesterday, Washington Commanders beat writer, Josh Taylor, dropped an interesting social media post where he said that he’s heard from two separate sources that the Dolphins and Commanders are in talks about a trade that would see Washington trade back from pick #7 in the first round in order for Miami to move up from pick #11.

Again, with Miami needing to upgrade at so many positions, it’s hard to guess which player the team might be targeting, but safety Caleb Downs, offensive lineman Francis Mauigoa, linebacker Sonny Styles, defensive linemen Rueben Bain and David Bailey are just some of the names that the Dolphins could be interested in.

Of course, as Taylor states, these whispers could remain just that — whispers.

With the Dolphins in full-on rebuilding mode, the team needs to bring in as many young, talented players as possible. Trading away draft picks instead of adding more would not help them to accomplish that goal. However, with the 2026 NFL Draft kicking off in less than a month, we won’t have to wait long to discover what Sullivan’s ultimate plan for his first draft as Dolphins general manager ultimately ends up being.
