The Miami Dolphins kick off their 2022 preseason this evening as they visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After two joint sessions with the Buccaneers earlier in the week, today’s game will be a full-contact contest, but really will be a glorified scrimmage. Miami head coach Mike McDaniel has not ruled out having the starters play tonight, but he has said he is “encouraged” about the idea of having players like quarterback Tua Tagovailoa skip the game.
The Buccaneers will definitely be without starting quarterback Tom Brady, who is in the middle of an excused absence from the team for a personal issue.
