Miami Dolphins

JuJu Brents

CB

Brents received foot surgery during the 2025 season after going down with a significant injury in November. The cornerback returns for a pivotal training camp, as cornerbacks Storm Duck (knee) and Darrell Baker (undisclosed) will be sidelined until midseason. If Brents can prove himself once again capable, he may enter Week 1 as the starting outside cornerback across from Chris Johnson.

Austin Jackson

OT

Jackson underwent surgery in the offseason to address a persistent toe issue. The offensive tackle stuck to his recovery pace and is officially set to participate. He is set to start Week 1 against the Raiders at right tackle.

Caleb Douglas

WR

The third-round rookie out of Texas Tech had "tweaked something" during the Dolphins' mandatory minicamp, but the wide receiver has since recovered from the issue. Douglas' speed and size could provide a solid boundary presence for quarterback Malik Willis. The 6-foot-4 receiver will need to beat out quite a few players, including fellow rookies Chris Bell (knee) and Kevin Coleman, to receive a decent offensive snap share in 2026.

Darrell Baker Jr.

CB

Baker joined the Dolphins in March as a healthy defensive back, but an unknown injury popped up in late July. With Storm Duck (knee) also set to return midseason, the team will be thin on defensive backs for opening day. JuJu Brents, Jason Marshall, Alex Austin and the remaining healthy defensive backs will have a chance to start Week 1 if they show out in training camp and the preseason.

Jamaree Salyer

G

Salyer was carted off the field during the Dolphins' OTA's in early June, but the unspecified injury seems to have resolved itself quickly. The offensive lineman is all set to practice and will likely be one of the foremost depth options for the team, ready to step in and protect Malik Willis if another lineman suffers an injury.
