MIAMI GARDENS- After a long off-season of waiting, Miami Dolphins football is officially back.
Today, the Dolphins hosted their first open training camp practice. The ‘Fins faithful showed out today, filling the stands. As the practice was beginning, the crowed was greeted and hyped up by 2023 Hall of Fame inductee, Zach Thomas.
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.
