Miami Dolphins Rookie Watch: Newcomers see little action in Week 1 win over the Chargers

Cornerback Kader Kohou was thrown into the fire as an undrafted rookie last season by playing a third of Miami’s defensive snaps in a Week 1 win over the New England Patriots — we can’t say the same about the 2023 rookies.

The newcomers watched opening day from the sideline as the Miami Dolphins escaped with a 36-34 win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. Brandon Pili, an undrafted rookie tackle from USC, was the only newbie to see time on the field, playing nine of Miami’s 81 defensive snaps, according to footballguys.
