Here's everything you need to know before the Miami Dolphins take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium.
Friday night's game is not another preseason match — it's the final dress rehearsal for many Miami Dolphins players on the bubble. This game is their last chance to prove their worth and secure a spot in the National Football League.
On the Tuesday after the game, the coaching staff will decide who has earned a spot on the final 53-man roster. If they've cleared waivers, a player still has a chance at one of the 16 spots on the Practice Squad. "We will play some starters; we won't play others," coach Mike McDaniel said on Wednesday. "The strategy is just where guys are at. There's jobs to be won and then to really evaluate all of the jobs at stake, you end up prioritizing certain aspects of your team and getting reps for the guys that haven't played in games as much."
