Dolphins' Zach Sieler out for joint practice against Commanders

Summary

The Miami Dolphins will hold their first joint practice of the 2026 preseason on Wednesday against the Washington Commanders in Virginia. Defensive tackle Zach Sieler will miss the session due to an undisclosed injury, which the team's head coach Jeff Hafley classified as week-to-week. Sieler’s absence is significant, given his recent productivity, totaling 35.5 sacks during his career. In his place, players like Kenneth Grant and Jordan Phillips are expected to see increased roles. The practice will allow the Dolphins to assess quarterback Malik Willis and a young receiving group ahead of their preseason opener on Friday.
