Dolphins backups struggle during practice against Giants

During a joint practice on August 20 against the New York Giants, the Miami Dolphins' primary backups showed significant weaknesses. Despite the strength of their top 25 players, the depth beyond that range raises concerns for the season. Poor performances were evident from backup quarterbacks Quinn Ewers and Cam Miller, as well as inconsistencies in other positions like offensive line and wide receiver. The Dolphins, facing a $179.2 million dead money cap hit, have opted for younger, unproven talent instead of mid-priced veterans, further complicating their depth issues. Coaches need to focus on improving these players for the upcoming season.
