The Miami Dolphins kicked off their final preseason game for 2023 against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Saturday night, then immediately struggled to find a rhythm. Both teams used their starters to open the game, then quickly moved on to the depth players as the teams look to remain healthy heading into the regular season in two weeks.
The game ended early when a head injury appeared to knock out Miami wide receiver Daewood Davis. A backboard was needed and the receiver was taken off the field on a stretcher. The coaches for both teams, the NFL Player Association reps, and the referees all met and called the game with 8:32 remaining in the fourth quarter.
