Miami Dolphins tight ends coach Jon Embree will take over head coaching duties for Mike McDaniel in the second half of Friday night's preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a source confirmed to ESPN.

CBS Miami was the first to report, the Dolphins are using Friday's game as a "practice run" for if McDaniel ever must miss a game.

McDaniel will still call the offensive plays, as he does regularly.

Embree and McDaniel have worked together since 2017, when both coached for the San Francisco 49ers.
