Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel spoke with reporters on Thursday, Aug. 14, 2025 prior to a joint practice with the Detroit Lions.

Jaylen Waddle on Dolphins practice with Lions: "We left a lot out there. If we want to be the type of offense we are capable to be we can't have that type of practices."

The defense flexed one day after quarterback Jared Goff and the Lions put on a show. Goff did find wide receiver Jameson Williams for a 50-yard touchdown and scattered three more red zone scores in the earlier periods, but it was tough sledding between those plays.
