The Dolphins’ preseason schedule released Tuesday includes a surprise, but also some good news.
The surprise: The Dolphins and Jaguars, two teams that missed the playoffs last season, have been selected for a nationally televised Week 3 preseason game at Hard Rock Stadium. Fox will televise the game to the entire country.
The good news: Because that Dolphins-Jaguars game was scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 22, it will not compete with the University of Miami’s opener against the Florida Gators on Aug. 24 from Orlando.
That eliminates a concern that South Florida football fans would need to choose between those two games, or give their remote control a workout switching between the two games.
