The Miami Dolphins host the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday in the “dress-rehearsal” game of the preseason. Miami comes into this game after losing last week in the final minute to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, dropping them to 1-1 on the preseason. The Jaguars are 0-2, having been shutout by the Baltimore Ravens in their first game, then dropping last week’s game to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Tonight’s game will be the closest to a regular season game we will see this summer, with both teams expected to play the majority of their starters a significant number of snaps. Starters could see playing time for the entire first half, and possibly come back out after halftime and take a series or two in the third quarter.
