The Miami Dolphins host the Atlanta Falcons this evening for their final preseason game before the 2026-2027 NFL season officially kicks off between September 9th and 14th. Former Dolphins starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa returns to South Florida tonight, expected to start for the Falcons as he continues his bid for the permanent starting role in Atlanta. This game also serves as the final opportunity for Dolphins players on the roster bubble to prove their value to the coaching staff and secure
a spot on this year’s team’s final 53-man roster.
