Quinn Ewers struggles in preseason game as Dolphins fall to Commanders

In a preseason match on August 14, 2026, the Miami Dolphins lost to the Washington Commanders. Backup quarterback Quinn Ewers had a challenging outing, completing just one of eight passes for 27 yards, with one interception and a passer rating of 1.6. Ewers, who is playing through a groin injury, faced scrutiny as the Dolphins assess their quarterback depth behind Malik Willis, the expected starter. The Dolphins, under new head coach Jeff Hafley, are in a rebuilding phase, focusing on long-term growth rather than immediate results. The performance of Ewers and other players may influence the team's draft strategy in 2027 depending on how the season unfolds.
