Dolphins practice report: Who impressed, who didn’t and observations from Saturday session

News, notes and observations from Saturday’s Miami Dolphins training camp practice, which was originally scheduled for Hard Rock Stadium but was shifted to the team’s Miami Gardens facility in anticipation of heavy rain:

▪ The Dolphins inside linebacker room, one of the deepest on the team, is suddenly short-handed. Jordyn Brooks and Anthony Walker did not practice for the second day in a row on Saturday; the team typically doesn’t explain the reason for player absences during training camp.

Also missing from Saturday’s practice: Receiver Tyreek Hill (who was in attendance but not practicing), safety Jordan Poyer (who missed a third practice in a row), running back Salvon Ahmed (who was in a walking boot) and receiver Erik Ezukanma, who is out with a unnspecified injury. Mike McDaniel declined to offer a timetable for Ezukanma.

Four players remain on the physically unable to perform list: receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and edge players Jaelan Phillips, Bradley Chubb and Cam Goode. Chubb was working out on the side.

▪ From the first session of 11 on 11 work: Jalen Ramsey beat an Alec Ingold block to limit De’Von Achane to no gain on a run... Tagovailoa then threw incomplete over the middle...Emmanual Ogbah set the edge and stopped Raheem Mosert for a loss on a running play... Tagovailoa bobbled a snap from Aaron Brewer and pitched to Achane, who picked up about eight yards...

Inside linebacker Zeke Vandenburgh held a run play to a short gain.... Skylar Thompson hit Willie Snead IV for a very short gain; Ethan Bonner blew up the play... Jaylen Wright had a decent gain on a cut-back run... Chop Robinson beat Kion Smith for a tackle in the backfield, but a holding penalty negated it...

Ogbah held Ingold to a short gain on a reception from Tagovailoa, who was forced to roll out when Quenton Bell pressured him... Ramsey stopped a running play by Achane for a loss.... UTEP rookie Andrew Meyer delivered a high snap to Mike White, foiling a play... Julian Hill caught a short pass from White.

▪ From the next set of 11 on 11 work: Braxton Berrios caught a pass from Tagovailoa in the corner of the end zone but referees ruled him out of bounds...Kendall Lamm created a hole for a nice run by Raheem Mostert.... Calais Campbell beat Aaron Brewer to hold Achane to a two-yard run. Chop Robinson set the edge well on that play...

Tua was off on his accuracy on an incomplete throw to Jody Fortson, who would have needed to make a miraculous catch in the end zone....Grayson Murphy got good penetration on a nice run by Jaylen Wright, who put on the afterburners for a decent gain...

Da’Shawn Hand flushed Tagovailoa out of the pocket, messing up a play.... Lamm committed a false start.... Cam Brown had an immediate tackle on a lateral pass from Tagovailoa to Malik Washington....Mo Kamara held a running play to no gain; he blew up tight end Hayden Rucci on the play.

▪ More from that 11 on 11 work: Chris Brooks had a nice inside run behind a block from Chasen Hines... Jordan Colbert had a nice pass breakup, but a penalty negated the play... Calais Campbell sacked Tagovailoa on a play when nobody opted to block him... Ogbah flushed Tagovailoa out of the pocket; it could have been a sack in a real game.

▪ From the third set of 11 on 11 work: Tagovailoa completed a 15-yard dart to Braylon Sanders over the middle....Quinton Bell limited an Achane run to a short gain... Zach Sieler had a tackle for loss on a Raheem Mostert run... Tagovailoa completed a short pass to Mostert...

Alec Ingold converted a 3rd and 1 run. That was a problem area for Miami last season. But keep in mind that Campbell and Sieler weren’t on the field for that play... Robinson did a good job setting the edge on a Jeff Wilson Jr. run, limiting it to a short gain... Skylar Thompson delivered an impressive 23-yard pass to Jonnu Smith for a completion down the middle...

Brandon Pili and Jonathan Harris stopped an inside run for a short gain..... Cam Brown had a would-be sack negated by pass interference by a teammate... Brown then had another nice play on a short run... Channing Tindall had a sack on Thompson. Tindall is getting more work with the inside linebacker room impacted by injuries... Emmanuel Ogbah deflected a Tagovailoa pass.

▪ From the fourth set of 11 on 11s: Wilson had a nice seven-yard run in goal line work...Tagovailoa completed a five-yard TD throw to Braylon Sanders, but it’s clear that Ogbah would have sacked Tagovailoa before the pass... Tagovailoa’s completion to Berrios in the corner of the end zone was ruled out of bounds, exactly like a Tagovailoa-to-Berrios connection earlier in the day....

Tindall had another nice play on a short gain, and then Teair Tart overwhelmed Meyer to limit a run to no gain...Mike White’s pass to Julian Hill was dropped in the corner of the end zone. Tart again got in the backfield on that play.. White threw a TD pass to Jaylen Waddle in red zone drills. Kion Smith did a nice job in pass protection... Quinton Bell then sacked Tagovailoa in red zone drills.

▪ Tagovailoa and White each got a hurry up possession late in practice; Tagovailoa led Miami to a touchdown on his possession. Here’s how it went:

Tagovailoa hit Sanders for 11 yards, then hit Jonnu Smith for a six-yard gain and then hit Smith again for a seven-yard gain in a late hurry-up drill....

Tagovailoa then had a dump off to Achane for an eight-yard gain... Achane then dropped a catchable but not perfect pass from Tagovailoa... Malik Washington made a nice catch from Tagovalioa for a 20-yard gain.... Then Achane ran for three yards...

Ogbah disrupted the next play for what likely would have been a sack on Tagovailoa. But referees said Tagovailoa completed the pass to Achane for a three-yard gain....Tagovailoa threw a pass in the corner of the end zone to Achane, but Achane couldn’t snare it in bounds. Duke Riley was in coverage... Tagovailoa then completed a short pass to Achane for what referees called a four-yard touchdown.

▪ Here’s what hapened on White’s two-minute drive: Wilson took a screen from White and picked up about nine yards... Wilson then ran for 10... Mo Kamara then sacked White.... White then hit Wilson for two short gains... White’s pass on fourth and six was dropped by Anthony Schwartz.
