Dolphins finalize preseason with loss to Falcons, evaluate roster decisions

The Miami Dolphins ended their preseason with a 17-12 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Resting most starters, the Dolphins focused on assessing players vying for the final 53-man roster spots. Quarterbacks Cam Miller and Mark Gronowski struggled under poor protection and a lack of a running game, while rookie wideout Chris Bell was targeted frequently as he returns from injury. The Dolphins' defense excelled against the run but struggled with short passing, leaving questions about the team's readiness for the regular season.
