Overview

  • The Dolphins beat the Jaguars 14-6 to finish the preseason 2-0-1, with Tua Tagovailoa throwing a touchdown in limited work.
  • Coach Mike McDaniel said RB Jaylen Wright is week-to-week and under evaluation, a status that could factor into procedural IR decisions.
  • Kicker Jason Sanders left warmups and did not play, but McDaniel said he doesn’t appear to be a concern for the opener after punter Jake Bailey handled kicks.
  • McDaniel reported no setbacks for RB De’Von Achane’s calf and indicated he is expected to be ready for the Sept. 7 opener at the Colts.
  • McDaniel designated Zach Wilson as the backup quarterback, while sixth-round RB Ollie Gordon II strengthened his roster case with 43 yards on eight carries.
