Miami Dolphins shake up the 2026 preseason with a first-look depth chart that signals bold changes and fierce competition across the roster. Rookie standouts like Caleb Douglas, Trey Moore, and Chris Johnson surge into first-team roles, challenging veterans and raising questions about who will anchor Jeff Hafley’s new system. Is Malik Washington set to become both the Dolphins’ top receiver and go-to return man? And which surprise names—like Ben Sims at fullback or Trey Moore at Sam linebacker—could redefine the depth and style of the offense and defense?
Kyle Crabbs spotlights positional battles, from the intense right tackle fight between Charlie Heck and Caedan Wallace to defensive shakeups featuring Kenneth Grant, Jordan Phillips, and rising edge rusher Chop Robinson. The analysis covers surprise roster placements, special teams roles for Kevin Coleman Jr. and Jalen Reagor, and what these early moves suggest about Miami’s strategy with so many first- and second-year players in the spotlight. Can this injection of youth ignite a breakthrough season for the Dolphins?
