The Miami Dolphins and Philadelphia Eagles opened up their joint practice sessions this week on Wednesday ahead of their Saturday night preseason tilt. The teams were scheduled to hold their second joint practice on Thursday but plans have changed.
The #Dolphins, who canceled their joint practice with the #Eagles today, are dealing with a stomach bug, sources say. Bunch of players sick, vomiting overnight.

The #Dolphins cross-checked what players have eaten and don’t see a common thread there. They’re confident it’s a bug, which is why they canceled today’s practice to stop the spread. No concerns at this point about Saturday’s game with the #Eagles.

Miami has also gone 1-1 in the preseason thus far, dropping the Tampa Buccaneers 26-24 on Aug. 13 and losing to the Las Vegas Raiders 15-13 on Aug. 20. The Dolphins take on the New England Patriots at 1 p.m. ET on Sept. 11 in Week 1.
