Overview
- Reporters observed the removal of a Pop-A-Shot mini hoop, a second rim and a card table from the Dolphins' locker room this week.
- Defensive tackle Benito Jones said players decided to take out the items to focus on the little things and their remaining games.
- Head coach Mike McDaniel said he was not informed beforehand that the games would be removed, according to reporter Joe Schad.
