The Dolphins started training camp facing a significant challenge with no established No. 1 or No. 2 cornerbacks on their roster. Recent injuries have compounded this issue, notably the potential torn ACL of Artie Burns. Competing for cornerback positions are Kader Kohou, Kendall Sheffield, and a host of younger players with limited experience. The Dolphins have made offers to veteran free agents but have yet to secure any. The competition for starting positions is wide open, allowing several players including Smith, Sheffield, and Storm Duck to vie for playing time as the team prepares for the season.
