Latest news from Dolphins camp

Dolphins sign former Raiders CB Jack Jones

Source: CB Artie Burns has torn ACL

Tua, Hill working to regain trust of Miami players


Saturday, July 26

Kader Kohou, the Dolphins' top cornerback, left the practice field hobbled but under his own power early in Saturday's session. He sustained an apparent leg injury while covering Tyreek Hill in one-on-one drills and left the field with a member of Miami's medical staff. Sunday is an off day for the Dolphins, which gives the fourth-year corner some time to rest and recover before the team returns to the field.

Another Dolphins cornerback, undrafted rookie free agent B.J. Adams, was carted off the field after suffering a nondescript injury. He was slow to get up after a play during team drills and received medical attention for a few minutes on the sideline before the cart came out.

These injuries come on the same day Miami agreed to a one-year contract with former Raiders cornerback Jack Jones and former Bengals cornerback Mike Hilton, whose signing was reported after the conclusion of Saturday's practice.

More:

• Safety Minkah Fitzpatrick corralled the first interception of training camp, extending to pick off a Zach Wilson pass over the middle of the field. He is yet to speak publicly since his trade back to Miami from Pittsburgh, but he has been active in all four practices.

• The Dolphins' offense largely checked down Saturday as it practiced against situational defensive pressure, but Tua Tagovailoa connected with Hill for a trademark long touchdown pass toward the end of practice and hit Jaylen Waddle for a 20-plus-yard gain.

• Running back Alexander Mattison had perhaps his best practice with the team, showing some burst around the edge and quick footwork in traffic. De'Von Achane (who earned Saturday's orange jersey) and Jaylen Wright are still comfortably ahead of him on the depth chart, but Mattison appears to be holding off rookie sixth-round pick Ollie Gordon II.

The Dolphins' front seven continues to fly around the field through three days of training camp, powered by the pass rush trio of Jaelan Phillips, Bradley Chubb and Chop Robinson -- who are on the field together during team drills for the first time since Miami took Robinson in the first round of last year's draft.

Phillips didn't participate in team drills during spring practices as he worked his way back from a torn ACL, but is a full go in the early days of camp. The fifth-year linebacker said he probably would've been fine without sitting out in OTAs and minicamp, but there was no reason to take a risk quite yet. He called the rehab process easier than the one he went through in 2023, when he tore his Achilles midway through the season.

The second-year Robinson has also turned heads in camp; Phillips said he truly believes Robinson will be one of the best players in the NFL and a Defensive Player of the Year candidate. After a six-sack rookie season, expectations are high for the former Penn State product.

More:

Aaron Brewer has still not practiced with what Mike McDaniel called a soft tissue injury in his lower extremities. It's not considered serious enough for placement on the PUP list, and McDaniel said he should return soon.

Zach Wilson looks sharper than he did in the spring, completing a long pass to Tyreek Hill during team drills. After throwing a few interceptions in OTAs and minicamp, he's yet to do so in training camp.

Quinn Ewers also looks more comfortable than he did in the spring, ending practice with tight window completions to Dee Eskridge and Tanner Conner. It's probably not enough to unseat Wilson as the primary backup, but it's still positive progression.

Kader Kohou donned the orange "practice player of the day" jersey for his performance in Thursday's practice. He has by far been the best player in the Dolphins' unproven cornerbacks room; it could be a good idea for the Dolphins to hammer out an extension with him before the start of the season.


Thursday, July 24

One storyline was the continued presence and participation of Zach Sieler. The Dolphins' star defensive tackle is underpaid in respect to his production (10 sacks in each of the past two seasons) and skipped the team's voluntary OTAs this spring. He was present for mandatory minicamp, however, and has been a full participant in Miami's first two days of training camp.

Sieler declined to elaborate on his thoughts about the 3-year, $30 million extension he signed in 2023, but said it was important to him to be present for his teammates. The Dolphins have yet to practice in pads, and his situation will be worth monitoring once they do.


Wednesday, July 23

The Dolphins' already-thin depth at cornerback took a hit just minutes into their first training camp practice on Wednesday. Veteran Artie Burns went down with a knee injury during position drills shortly after team stretches, and left the field on crutches.

Burns signed with Miami this offseason and was expected to compete for one of the starting outside cornerback jobs -- but he is now feared to have torn his ACL, pending an MRI. Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel was asked earlier in the day whether the team was still considering tapping into the veteran free agent market; McDaniel said that while the team is comfortable with its current group, it will always look to improve.

The Dolphins may have to do so sooner than planned following Burns' injury.
