Miami Dolphins News 8/7/23: Dolphins will host Falcons for practice

On Friday night, we got a look at what the Miami Dolphins backup players looked like and it wasn’t pretty. With barely any starters on the field, it was a sloppy football game but there were some who shined above the rest. We got a glimpse of what Mike McDaniel has planned for rookie running back, De’Von Achane. He was busy in the run game and was pretty involved in the passing game. Another young player who stood out was second year receiver, Erik Ezukanma. He is the Dolphins biggest bodied receiver on the team and flashed some versatility when he got involved in the run game.

You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.
