(CBSMiami)- After just missing out on the playoffs in 2020, expectations are high for the Dolphins in Year 3 of the Brian Flores regime. The organization continued its penchant for making moves this offseason making multiple trades before the draft that netted them the sixth overall pick used on receiver Jaylen Waddle. The hope is that the addition of Waddle, plus further development by now second-year quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, will get the team back to the playoffs for the first time since 2016.
The first step in that journey is a trio of preseason matchups that will give the coaching staff and players a chance to get back into form ahead of the regular season opener against the New England Patriots.
