The final preseason game of 2021 for the Miami Dolphins and Cincinnati Bengals is coming on Sunday afternoon. The two teams are approaching this game differently, with the Bengals expected to play their starters, including quarterback Joe Burrow making his first appearance since tearing his ACL and MCL in his left knee in Week 11 last season. The Dolphins, meanwhile, are planning to sit most, if not all, of their first-team players.
Miami is using this game as the last chance to see their depth and roster-bubble players before the NFL mandates a drop in roster size from 80 men down to the regular season’s 53-player limit.
