The Miami Dolphins’ nomadic trek to start their 2017 regular season might take another detour after they open in Los Angeles against the Chargers at 4:05 p.m. Sunday.
The team has made contingency plans to go from L.A. to West Virginia for the following week of practices before playing the New York Jets on Sept. 24.
That option to practice at The Greenbrier would become reality if power is not restored to the team’s facility by the time Miami’s charter takes off from Los Angeles on Sunday.
Another issue that might force the Dolphins to head to West Virginia is if post-Hurricane Irma inspection of the team’s facility shows significant damage.
