Dolphins seek veteran quarterback amid preseason struggles
Summary

The Miami Dolphins face quarterback depth issues as preseason games highlight their need for a veteran option. After losses to the Washington Commanders and New York Giants, backup quarterbacks Cam Miller and Mark Gronowski struggled to generate offense, raising concerns. Quinn Ewers' groin injury further complicates depth, leaving the team evaluating their options ahead of the final preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons. Head coach Jeff Hafley remains optimistic for Ewers' recovery, but the team must consider a proven backup to alleviate pressure on inexperienced players before the regular season starts on September 13.
