Miami Dolphins rookies gain experience ahead of Week 2 matchup

The Miami Dolphins prepare for Week 2 following a 27-13 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on September 13, 2026. The team aims to build on the experience gained by their rookies, who comprised 27.2% of total snaps in that game. Players like Caleb Douglas showed promise, generating notable separation despite losing to a non-competitive defense. Challenging next is a strong San Francisco 49ers team, against which the Dolphins hope to improve performance, particularly in their offensive line.
