The NFL preseason can be a scary time for teams as there are a lot of unknowns heading into a new year of football. Between not being quite sure of how the team will perform, plus the risk of losing a key player to injury, reaching the regular season firing on all cylinders is no easy task.
With three preseason games now in the books for the Miami Dolphins, it appears that they will reach the season opener with their starting unit intact, for the most part. Miami lost starting free safety Louis Delmas to a season-ending knee injury and now the team hopes that second-year safety Walk Aikens can fill his spot.
