NEW: Dolphins begin camp in less than ideal position, with no No. 1 or No. 2 cornerback and the one 30-year-old CB on the team now feared to have a torn ACL miamiherald.com/sports/nfl/mia… Some insight today on Cam Smith, Kendall Sheffield (keep an eye on him), BJ Adams & situation atCB
Kohou made a couple of interesting points today about Cam Smith (and how he has changed) and why BJ Adams has a chance to thrive

NEW from @OmarKelly , @stclaudeii and me: News, notes highlights from Day 1 of Dolphins training camp, which just ended miamiherald.com/sports/nfl/mia… Tua sharp; Ezukanma impressive. Other updates:
NEW: Vlad Goldin makes strong first impression on Heat in summer league: "He plays so freakin’ hard" miamiherald.com/sports/nba/mia… "You’d like to have him on the floor even longer, but he goes so hard, sometimes he burns himself out. That’s why we love him.”
Tua Tagovailoa called he and Tyreek Hill's relationship "a work in progress" following the star wideout's infamous outburst at the end of the 2024 season miamiherald.com/sports/nfl/mia…
Talk about an inauspicious start to camp: Artie Burns' injury happened when he became entangled with another player during backpedal drills for DBs early in practice. Knowing he got hurt, he threw his helmet down in disgust. He later left team headquarters on crutches.
NEW: Dolphins OL Bayron Matos taken by helicopter to area hospital after injury late in practice, in stable condition miamiherald.com/sports/nfl/mia… And Artie Burns on crutches after injury early in practice. BJ Adams returned after early practice injury. Brewer was sidelined today.
This was probably most interesting thing said today
Tua Tagovailoa says Tyreek Hill rebuilding relationship with him & team is a “work in progress” after Tyreek WK18 ‘I’m out’ comment. Tua: “When you say something like that you don’t just come back with ‘My bad.’ You gotta work that relationship up. He is working on himself.”

Very unfortunate first day of Dolphins camp. A helicopter took Bayron Matos to a local hospital. He's in stable condition. Team not saying his injury/illness... Also, Artie Burns left team headquarters on crutches, per multiple photographers here.
McDaniel, asked if he and Grier are trying to add a cornerback: "Are we resisting getting better? We are not resisting getting better. I understand there are a lot of tweets, words, articles about a [position. If you have youth at a position, you have confidence in it [before…
Liam is weeks away from returning: "As tough as a player I've been around," McDaniel said. "Not a season ender."... Melifonwu has "nothing that I'm worried about." More preventative.
the recently unretired Darren Waller will begin training camp on the PUP list miamiherald.com/sports/nfl/mia…
Brunskill is a guy who can play all over the OL (LT/C/RG alone last year) and has backed it up with some strong years, including 2022 and 2023 where he ranked among the top 25 guards in the league #PhinsUp
Roster Moves | We have signed OL Daniel Brunskill and waived QB Brett Gabbert. We have also placed OL Liam Eichenberg and TE Darren Waller on the physically unable to perform list and S Ifeatu Melifonwu on the non-football injury list.
Brunskill also can guard and is option there behind James Daniels and Jonah S, with Liam out.... encouraging that Daniels, off week 4 Achilles, wasn't put on PUP today
Gabbert, the fourth QB, was waived to make room for Brunskill. As of now, no veteran corner has accepted a Dolphins offer but that obviously could change at any time. Miami has offer on table to Rasul Douglas, as I've reported.
