Dolphins fans have had not many reasons to be happy this season.
An unexpected one came on Sunday, when the team manhandled the Falcons in Atlanta, 34-10.
Another unexpected one came on Monday, when the Dolphins announced that there will be no ticket-price increases in 2026.
Via Chris Perkins of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, some ticket prices will actually decrease, and some fans that purchase club seats for the season will receive a $250 food and beverage credit.
It makes sense. Supply and demand. At a time when Dolphins have every right to demand more from their team, asking for more money for season tickets would have fallen flat.
Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa wore a visor on his helmet for Sunday’s win over the Falcons and it looks like he’s going to keep the new look in place for Thursday night’s game against the Ravens.
Tagovailoa wore the visor because he woke up Sunday morning with his left eye swollen shut. The team’s medical staff was able to treat the issue so that Tagovailoa could see and he threw four touchdown passes in the 34-10 win.
On Tuesday, Tagovailoa said at a press conference that he is “seeing a lot better than I could” during the game, but that he plans to continue wearing the visor indefinitely.
“I think the guys like the visor, so I’ll stick with the visor,” Tagovailoa said.
It’s hard to imagine that the visor played much of a role in Tagovailoa having his best day of the season, but a little superstition alongside a little eye protection can apparently go a long way.
Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson says he’s finally ready to get back on the field Thursday night against the Dolphins, and he’s thrilled about that.
“Extremely excited. Can’t wait to touch the grass with my guys. It’s been a while,” Jackson said today.
Jackson injured his hamstring one month ago in a loss to the Chiefs, and he said it was tough having to stay out, but he said he now feels great and appreciates the Ravens’ training staff working with him every day to get right.
“It was very challenging,” Jackson said. “When I found out I had a hammy injury, I was told by the training staff how long I was going to be out, I just thought we got to do whatever we can as fast as we could to get back out there, and it’s here. It took a little time but we’re here.”
Asked if he’ll have to be more aware of his injured hamstring on Thursday night, Jackson said that won’t be his focus.
“I don’t foresee any of that,” Jackson said. “I’m focused on winning.”
The Ravens expect Lamar Jackson to play Thursday night, and the practice report indicates that.
The team estimates him as a full participant on Monday.
Jackson has missed the past three games with a hamstring injury. He returned to the practice field last week, but his participation level became an issue after the Ravens improperly listed him with a full practice.
The team changed the designation to limited when it ruled him out on Saturday.
Coach John Harbaugh said he is “very confident” that Jackson will return against the Dolphins.
The Ravens estimated linebacker Teddye Buchanan (calf), offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle), cornerback T.J. Tampa Jr. and cornerback Nate Wiggins (groin) as limited.
Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson’s status for Sunday’s game against the Bears was a source of some confusion over the weekend, but head coach John Harbaugh was a little clearer about how things look for this week.
Jackson has missed the last three games with a hamstring injury, but he was back on the practice field last week. His participation level became an issue after the Ravens improperly listed him as a full participant before changing the designation to limited when they ruled him out on Saturday.
We’ll see how Jackson is listed on this week’s injury reports, but Harbaugh said the plan is for Jackson to play against the Dolphins on Thursday night.
“I feel very confident,” Harbaugh said at a Monday press conference. “I feel very confident about it. We expect him to be out there Thursday night.”
The Ravens lost two games with Cooper Rush at quarterback, but got a win behind Tyler Huntley on Sunday. It helped that they got healthier in a lot of spots over the bye week and Jackson’s return should provide even more help to their effort to climb back up the standings.
