We are up to the second week of the 2021 preseason, with the Miami Dolphins hosting the Atlanta Falcons on Saturday night. This is still the preseason, so both teams will likely use their starters early in the night, but have them give way to the depth and roster bubble players as the game moves along. Neither team’s coach would give specifics on how much their starters would play on Saturday.
In previous seasons, teams had four preseason contests, with the third used as a “dress rehearsal” game for the regular season, allowing starters to play into the third quarter of the contest.
