Receivers Kenny Stills and Albert Wilson took a knee during the national anthem, and defensive tackle Robert Quinn raised his right fist.

Stills was one of three Dolphins players to consistently take a knee during the anthem last season. The other two (Julius Thomas and Michael Thomas) no longer play for Miami.
