The tradition of awarding the orange jersey to the previous practice’s hardest worker has continued into this season. Today’s recipient was defensive back, Kader Kohu.

During the middle of practice, the team participated in an offense vs defense scrimmage.
The highlight of this scrimmage came early on, when Tua Tagovailoa connected with a wide open Tyreek Hill for a 75 yard touchdown.
