Dolphins Complete Three-Day Minicamp With Key Player Updates

The Miami Dolphins concluded their three-day minicamp with head coach Mike McDaniel expressing satisfaction with the team's progress in correcting last season's culture and punctuality issues, emphasizing the establishment of a team identity and standards. Linebacker Bradley Chubb publicly stated that players had been dishonest about the team culture last season but acknowledged improvement this year, a comment McDaniel wished had been shared earlier. Receiver Jaylen Waddle has shown growth both in performance and leadership, setting a positive example for teammates. Cornerback Cam Smith, a second-round draft pick struggling to make an impact, continues to develop under McDaniel's guidance, focusing on fundamentals and consistent game-day execution. The minicamp featured notable plays including interceptions returned for touchdowns by safeties Elijah Campbell and rookie Dante Trader, along with impressive offensive highlights like Tua Tagovailoa's touchdown passes to Malik Washington and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. Injured players like James Daniels participated in limited drills, indicating progress toward full health for the regular season.
