The Miami Dolphins will be trotting out their starters in live game action for the first time for this 2018 season against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Reshad Jones will not be among them.
The veteran safety will be getting the night off, along with defensive end Cameron Wake and running back Frank Gore, who are being left out in order to rest them for a more important occasion, perhaps the third preseason game or even the start of the regular season.
Other players who are inactive are cornerback Tony Lippett, center Jake Brendel, tight end A.
