The Miami Dolphins kick off their preseason tonight against the Washington Commanders at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland. Following joint practices earlier this week, both teams are eager to set the tone for their respective seasons. The Dolphins look to build momentum after a significant offseason overhaul of their coaching staff, front office, and roster, while the Commanders aim for a turnaround following an injury-plagued campaign for quarterback Jayden Daniels. Fans can expect to see
several Miami starters on the field for the opening series this evening, including the Dolphins’ new starting quarterback, Malik Willis.
