A bunch of notes and takeaways in the wake of the Dolphins’ 27-20 preseason loss to Carolina which exposed the usual holes:
u25aa Misfortune has befallen most of the players who began training camp as the starters at the team’s most competitive positions. In two weeks since, the players (except Kenyan Drake and T.J. McDonald) have either been injured, ineffective or demoted.
Jordan Phillips, who lost his starting job to Davon Godchaux a week into camp, has been sidelined with shoulder injury.
MarQueis Gray, who opened as the first-team tight end, is in the concussion protocol system and missed Friday’s game.
