No more active practices day before the game for the Dolphins

Under interim coach Dan Campbell the Miami Dolphins are going to keep their travel schedule and approach just as they did under former coach Joe Philbin.

With one potentially significant change:

The Dolphins are going to practice on Friday and walk-thru on Saturday now.

Under Philbin the past couple of years, the Dolphins have used Friday as a walk-thru practice day. And Saturday, or the day before the game, has been more of a practice day with some walk-thru work but also some relatively competitive drills.

A couple of NFL teams, including the Philadelphia Eagles, have used this approach because sports science departments contend this is a great way to allow the athletes to slow down on their work a couple of days before the game and then build back up just prior to game day.
