Day 4 practice report: Who impressed, highlights, and how Tua Tagovailoa greeted fans

News, notes and observations from Day 4 of Dolphins training camp on Sunday:

The Miami Dolphins began the first open practice for the fans with a rousing speech from Tua Tagovailoa, who yelled to the crowd “show me the money,” as they cheered on his new contract extension.

When the action began, Tagovailoa and the Dolphins offense took advantage of the first team defense in this red zone specific day.

On one play in red zone drills, Tagovailoa stepped up, evaded pressure and threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to Jaylen Waddle.

Tagovailoa also connected on a shovel pass from to Achane for some respectable yards on a play in which Emmanuel Ogbah was in the backfield but couldn’t slap the ball.

Braylon Sanders also scored a toe tap touchdown in the back of the end zone on a throw from Tagovailoa. Kader Kohou got beat on the perfectly placed ball on the pass.

Tagovailoa couldn’t connect on a deep pass to Waddle in early 11-on-11 work thanks to some tight coverage from Elijah Campbell, who broke up the pass.

Mike White had one of the other touchdown passes of the session to a wide open Tanner Conner, who continues to flash in practice.

The defense had its moments, which led to four turnovers.

Zach Sieler deflected one of Tagovailoa’s passes and Jevon Holland recorded another interception off a deflection.

Isaiah Mack intercepted a White pass that was intended for Je’Quan Burton and ran it back into scoring territory.

Grayson Murphy forced a bad exchange between White and Jaylen Wright, and the defense recovered the fumble.

Ethan Bonner recovered a backward pass that Skylar Thompson threw.

INJURY UPDATE

Cornerback Cam Smith exited practice early and was taken to the locker room with the help of a trainer.
