Last week, the Miami Dolphins revealed their 2026 regular-season schedule to plenty of excitement, but they also announced the dates, times and opponents for their three season games as well.
In Week 2 of the preseason, Miami will take on John Harbaugh's New York Giants, and on Tuesday, new Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley revealed that his team will host their NFC East opponent for joint practices leading up to the game.
Joint practices are an excellent exercise, especially for a team with a new coach. They provide a competitive atmosphere where the coaches can control the situations, unlike in a game scenario. They're also great for fans, as they get an up-close view at the players on the practice field, which you don't get during the season.
This does mean that it's unlikely that many starters play significant snaps in the game following joint practices, as coaches typically use those sessions as the meaningful reps rather than a live-game setting where injuries could happen.
Hafley also announced that ahead of their first preseason matchup with the Washington Commanders, the two teams will battle in joint practices on the road.
