Dolphins Confirm Caleb Douglas Out for Chiefs, Roster Shifts to Practice Squad Depth

The Miami Dolphins confirmed wide receiver Caleb Douglas is out for Sunday’s Week 3 opener against the Kansas City Chiefs due to an ankle injury. Coach Jeff Hafley indicated Chris Bell is expected to play despite knee soreness, while Ryan Miller remains a game-time decision. To bolster depth, Miami released long snapper Luke Basso and signed wide receiver A.J. Henning to the practice squad. With Malik Washington now the primary target for quarterback Malik Willis, the Dolphins may rely more on the run game and tight ends if additional receivers are unavailable.

Willis Shines as Dolphins Show Guts in Preseason Loss to Commanders

Malik Willis showed command in his first Dolphins action, directing a 93-yard opening drive and finishing 4-for-5 for 43 yards as the Dolphins fell 20-7 to the Washington Commanders in a preseason debut. Rookie Caleb Douglas hauled in a spectacular 28-yard one-handed catch on the first third-down, underscoring early chemistry. The starting offensive line blocked well, enabling De’Von Achane to gain 36 yards and score, and the linebacker corps looked like the strongest unit. But depth behind the starters struggled: backups threw multiple interceptions, the offense stalled, and the defense allowed 20 unanswered points, highlighting depth concerns if injuries mount.

Commanders Dominate Dolphins in Joint Practice as Caleb Douglas Shines

In Ashburn, the Washington Commanders controlled the day in a joint practice with the Dolphins, exploiting a depleted Miami secondary as Jayden Daniels dissected Miami’s defense in 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills. Miami’s offense struggled with pass protection and consistency, Willis showing mobility but also taking a late pick-six, while several Dolphins regulars (Sieler, Trader Jr., Brents, Johnson) were sidelined. Caleb Douglas emerged for Miami with a stock-up performance, but the offensive line and secondary were the day’s stock-downs as the teams mixed in a heavy physical pace.

Willis Shines as Dolphins Offense Finds Rhythm in Red Zone Day

In the Dolphins’ final practice of the first block, Malik Willis looked sharper at quarterback (about 6-for-10 with a couple TDs) and added QB keepers, as the red-zone period produced more offense. Caleb Douglas was heavily involved with multiple catches, including a near end-zone grab, while the defense logged a takeaway and several stops. Other quarterbacks (Ewers, Miller, Gronowski) showed flashes but didn’t dominate, and notable highlights included Donovan Edwards’ 8-yard TD run and sustained activity from several veterans. Attendance was full for the session, and the team returns Sunday for the first open practice at 9:30 a.m.

The Miami Dolphins wrapped up the 2026 NFL Draft with 13 rookies under GM Jon-Eric Sullivan and coach Jeff Hafley, emphasizing smart, tough players who should bolster the offensive line, secondary, and receiver groups.

Notably, the team did not draft a quarterback, signaling a focus on competition across the roster rather than immediate QB development.

Dolphins Bet Big on Upside at WR With Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell

Miami used Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft to add high-upside receivers Caleb Douglas (Texas Tech) and Chris Bell (Louisville). Bell, coming off ACL surgery, is viewed as a potential No. 1 receiver who could contribute as soon as health allows, while Douglas adds depth. The Dolphins say they are building for 2028 and beyond, banking on Bell's return and the long-term upside rather than focusing solely on the 2026 season.
