Miami Dolphins training camp Day 5: Tua Tagoviloa takes center stage

Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins were back at training camp after a day off Sunday.

MIAMI GARDENS -- The Miami Dolphins were back at it, with fans in attendance, after taking a day off Sunday.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa signs autographs during Day 4 of team training camp on July 26, 2025.

Highlights:

Ugh: Team drills began with a pre-snap penalty. But: De'Von Achane followed with two nice inside runs that would have gained good yardage. The interior OL got the job done.

Tua Tagovailoa nearly followed by threading a ball to Tyreek Hill, who made a nice sideline grab eliciting cheers, but Hill was ruled to have not come down in bounds.

Alexander Mattison, stonewalled off left tackle, cut right for a nice gain.

A highlight play: Tagovailoa hit Hill in stride over Isiah Jonson.

Grayton Murphy and Matt Dickerson shared a sack against Zach Wilson in red-zone drills.

LB Jordyn Brooks nailed Jaylen Wright for a loss.

Tagovailoa hit Hill with a short touchdown pass in goal-line drills.

OL Jackson Carman was guilty of a false start.

Addison West and Quinn Ewers had a fumbled exchange.

Ewers then atoned by throwing a short TD pass to a leaping AJ Henning.

Jason Sanders, who is unopposed in camp, made a 50-yard field goal and was consistent from 40-49 yards.

Tagovailoa found Waddle with plenty of space for a good connection over Jason Marshall.

Jaelan Phillips blew up a run by Achane.

Chop Robinson sacked Tagovailoa.

Willie Gay dropped a gift INT thrown by Wilson.

Wilson capitalized on the defense jumping to connect with Nick Westbrook-Ikhine for a medium-range gain.

Wilson's pass bounced off the hands of Andrew Armstrong and was intercepted by Jordan Colbert.

Theo Wease caught a couple of TD passes in a goal-line drill. The first was blown coverage. The second was a good throw by Ewers.

Ewers then hit Armstrong with a TD to end practice.

Tempers: A brief skimish broke out involving first-round pick Kenneth Grant and OL Andrew Meyer.

Extra work: Among those fielding punts were receivers Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill. Hill, for the first time, came out after most of the stretching portion of practice was winding down. That was what he did most of the time last season as well. It will be interesting to see what changes new special teams coordinator Craig Aukerman makes in the unit. There was a large contingent of players fielding punts, including Malik Washington, AJ Henning, Erik Ezukanma and Monaray Baldwin.

Missing: The secondary was without Kader Kohou, Storm Duck and BJ Adams for this workout. But the Dolphins have added Jack Jones and Mike Hilton.

Looking ahead: Tuesday is the first day the Dolphins will be in pads.

Elsewhere: Ex-Dolphins guard Rob Jones, now with Dallas, has a broken bone in his neck and will miss two to three months.

Ever-popular orange jersey news: Tagovailoa had the honors this time. Musical selections were unlike any heard in camp to date. They included Bob Seger's "Old Time Rock & Roll." Estimation on percentage of players wondering what the heck as that song played: at least 90.
