Dolphins lose 26-3 to Giants in preseason game

Summary

The Miami Dolphins fell to the New York Giants 26-3 during their second preseason game on August 22, 2026, in Miami Gardens, Florida. Miami's performance struggled as reserves faced the Giants’ backups. Veteran wide receiver Tutu Atwell had a standout disappointing game, failing to record any receptions and being marked as a 'loser' due to drops and lack of targets. The Dolphins are seeking improved output from their veteran receivers, many of whom have not met expectations this summer. The team will need to evaluate Atwell's role as they look to finalize their roster ahead of the regular season.
