The Miami Dolphins are set to conduct joint practices with the Chicago Bears and Jacksonville Jaguars ahead of their preseason games this August. These practices allow teams to evaluate their players more effectively by simulating game conditions. Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel supports joint practices, which have become commonplace in the NFL. However, risks are associated, as injuries occurred in past practices, including to notable players like Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. The details regarding public attendance and precise scheduling for the events remain unconfirmed.
Not only does a joint practice allow both teams to gauge where they're at, it gives starters the opportunity to go head-to-head for a little taste of game action.
Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel is a huge fan of joint practices, which have become the norm in the NFL since four joint practices in the preseason are allowed.
The last time the Dolphins held joint practices with the Bears at Hales Hall, which was in 2020, the practices were invite-only for Bears season-ticket holders.
There are risks involved in joint practices. Last season Pro Bowl receiver Tyreek Hill suffered the wrist injury that lingered all season in Miami's joint practices.
