12 HRS AGO - Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck is retiring. The unexpected news was first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter and has since been confirmed by the 2012 first-overall draft pick. The news broke during the Colts’ Preseason Week 3 loss to the Chicago Bears on Saturday. Luck leaves the game as he deals with another injury, this time a calf/ankle/foot injury that had him sidelined for the preseason with speculation he would also miss playing time in the regular season. This follows when he missed the entire 2017 season following shoulder surgery. Since being selected, Luck has started 86 games, throwing for 23,671 yards on 2000-for-3290 passing, giving him a 60.8 percent career completion rate. He had 171 touchdowns, including the 40 in 2014 to lead the league. He threw 83 interceptions in his career and has an 89.5 career passer rating. He was a four-time Pro Bowl selection, including last year when he was named the league’s Comeback Player of Collapse

1 DAY AGO - Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports Friday night saw some Twitter craziness explode around the Miami Dolphins when Pro Football Network suggested the team was actively shopping veteran players on the trade market, including left tackle Laremy Tunsil. The Dolphins did not play Tunsil during Thursday’s third preseason game, so it appeared there could be some substance behind the rumor. It appears however that the rumors were an exaggeration of the real situation. Much of Pro Football Network’s talk was that the Dolphins were open to trading players, with the team “shopping their entire team.” They then followed that up by reporting that Tunsil “is available” and then added that they were “doubling down. Laremy Tunsil is available and the Dolphins are listening to offers.” The site’s draft analyst, Tony Pauline, then added that the Dolphins have “dangled” Tunsil as “trade bait.” Except, the Dolphins do no seem to actively be trying to trade Tunsil, or “dangling” him around the Collapse

1 DAY AGO - Photo by Eric Espada/Getty Images All of the focus on Miami’s skill positions has been at quarterback or running back, but what about tight end? You can ask any media pundit, any fan, or even the Miami Dolphins coaching staff about what position battle has been getting the most attention through training camp and you’ll get the same answer: quarterback. But that’s not the only position that has had a heated battle taking place through the preseason. In fact, I’d argue that the most intriguing battle is coming elsewhere on the offense, and no, not at running back. I’m talking about tight end. Since Charles Clay left for the Buffalo Bills with a hefty contract back in 2015, the Dolphins have struggled mightily to find production at the tight end position. The team has looked to Jordan Cameron, Julius Thomas, and MarQueis Gray to fill that hole, but none have thrived. Last year, Miami took Mike Gesicki in the second round and Durham Smythe in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL draft Collapse

2 DAYS AGO - Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports Welcome to the Splash Zone, the quickest way to get your day started off right. We bring you a rundown of Miami Dolphins news from the last 24 hours. Ryan Fitzpatrick did not help himself in the Dolphins quarterback competition last night. The first team offense was dreadful and it wasn’t till the second half that Fitzpatrick finally threw a touchdown. Josh Rosen came out on his first drive and delivered a 99 yard touchdown drive with some impressive throws. It was Fitzpatrick’s job to lose and Rosen put up a heck of a fight and should honestly be the team’s starter. The Dolphins have a tough four game stretch to the season and I can totally understand Fitzpatrick starting those. But Rosen has proven he is the better quarterback on this roster. You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below. Schad: Miami Dolphins’ Ryan Fitzpatrick not all that exhilarating or encouraging vs. Jags - Sports - The Palm Beach Collapse

2 DAYS AGO - Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images The Miami Dolphins and Jacksonville Jaguars completed their “dress rehearsal” game for the 2019 preseason, and it did not exactly instill confidence for either team. Both first-team offenses struggled, especially Miami under presumed starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, and the defenses were hit-or-miss (other than Josh Allen for the Jaguars). The second half saw Miami’s offense finally show up - albeit against the depth defense for Jacksonville. The Dolphins came away with the 22-7 victory. First Half Recap The Dolphins received the opening kick. Ryan Fitzpatrick started the game at quarterback as expected, and he threw incomplete on first down looking for Kenny Stills. On second down, the pass targeting Durham Smythe was broken up and the Dolphins faced 3rd-and-10. Fitzpatrick looked for Preston Williams, who ran a good out route to create separation, but Fitzpatrick led him too much and the Dolphins were forced to punt. After the punt, Collapse

2 DAYS AGO - Photo by Will Newton/Getty Images The Miami Dolphins are set to host the Jacksonville Jaguars in a few hours in the key third preseason game of the year. This game typically features game planning, adjustments, and the starters for both teams much more than the previous two games or the final game next week. This is the dress rehearsal contest for the regular season, which means we should get a better chance to see what the Dolphins will be this year. It also means we will see what the Jaguars will be this season. After a disappointing 2018 season, the Jaguars come back this year with a new quarterback and high expectations. Is this a team that could move into the AFC elite? Will they be able to shake off the Blake Bortles era? To get answers to those questions and more, I turned to Ryan O’Bleness of Big Cat Country, SB Nation’s Jaguars team site. You can check out my answers to his Dolphins related questions here. 1. Obviously, the biggest change for the Jaguars is the Collapse

2 DAYS AGO - Douglas DeFelice-USA TODAY Sports The Miami Dolphins host the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday in the “dress-rehearsal” game of the preseason. Miami comes into this game after losing last week in the final minute to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, dropping them to 1-1 on the preseason. The Jaguars are 0-2, having been shutout by the Baltimore Ravens in their first game, then dropping last week’s game to the Philadelphia Eagles. Tonight’s game will be the closest to a regular season game we will see this summer, with both teams expected to play the majority of their starters a significant number of snaps. Starters could see playing time for the entire first half, and possibly come back out after halftime and take a series or two in the third quarter.
