Update pending. The latest scheduled source check is newer than this verified briefing.
In his September 3 press conference, Jeff Hafley said Seydou Traore could play and expressed hope that the other sidelined tight end discussed would practice the following week. He also praised converted fullback DJ Herman's blocking movement while noting his limited game experience at the position. [Miami Dolphins]
Herman's role could influence Miami's blocking packages, but the transcript does not establish a snap count. Hafley also confirmed preparation for Kirk Cousins rather than the Raiders' rookie quarterback. That gives Miami a specific opposing passer to plan for in its September 13 road opener.

Monitor the official tight-end report and opening-game personnel packages before assuming normal receiving availability. Hafley said uncertain availability can remain undisclosed until reporting deadlines. Miami then travels to San Francisco, so the verified schedule starts with consecutive road games; travel alone is not a quantified performance penalty. [Miami Dolphins][Miami Dolphins]
September 3 head-coach transcript and official schedule verified. Local TV/radio/newspaper and requested national searches did not yield additional verified current reporting for this briefing. Tight-end availability comments are dated, not final game statuses.
