Before the Dolphins play in Madrid, let's look back to last season

The articles all report on the Miami Dolphins' recent games, player health, signings, rookie developments, and roster adjustments. Together, they provide updates on wins and losses, injuries to key players, free agency moves, and the status of rookies and returning players.

The Dolphins earned a narrow win over the Jaguars with a late field goal and saw Jaelan Phillips secure his first sack since an Achilles injury. Tyler Huntley scored a touchdown during a loss to the Titans when both Tua Tagovailoa and Skylar Thompson were out. The team signed several free agents, such as tight end Pharoah Brown and running back Alexander Mattison, while pursuing edge rusher Joey Bosa. Kenneth Grant, their first-round pick, reflected on his early struggles and room for growth. Darren Waller returned to practice after coming off the physically unable to perform list, preparing to play following a year off. These updates show how the Dolphins work through setbacks, develop new talent, and make changes to improve results.
