Dolphins ramp up physicality ahead of padded practice in training camp

The Miami Dolphins prepare for their first padded practice of training camp on August 3, following a medium intensity practice in front of fans. Coach Jeff Hafley emphasizes the importance of physical contact for player assessment, particularly for linemen, as training approaches game-like conditions. Hafley aims to focus on tackling techniques as players adapt to increased physicality. Added fan presence helps elevate energy levels during practice ahead of the key session on Monday.
