Dolphins prepare Will Kacmarek for practice return ahead of Raiders game

The Miami Dolphins are preparing for their Week 1 regular season opener against the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium. Head coach Jeff Hafley confirmed that rookie tight end Will Kacmarek is expected to return to practice at the Baptist Health Training Complex next week. The Dolphins are currently navigating depth concerns at the position, as veterans Ben Sims and Cole Turner are on injured reserve. Rookie Seydou Traore is also managing an injury following the conclusion of the preseason. If both Kacmarek and Traore are unavailable for the game in Las Vegas, the team may rely on Greg Dulcich and Justin Joly. The coaching staff also maintains the option to elevate Tre Turner from the practice squad to bolster the roster for the upcoming matchup.
