The Miami Dolphins opened the one mandatory training event during the 2023 offseason on Tuesday, beginning their minicamp. While every player is expected to attend the training session, it appears the Dolphins will be without their starting center from 2022 for the workouts. According to head coach Mike McDaniel, Connor Williams will not be in attendance for minicamp and he made clear the absence was unexcused.
Williams could be fined almost $100,000 if he skips all three days of minicamp. After joining the Dolphins in 2022 on a two-year contract, Williams is heading into the final year of his contract and could be skipping minicamp in hopes of getting a new deal this year.
