Miami Dolphins training camp report, Day 5 Monday, Did Cam Smith or Tyreek Hill practice?

MIAMI GARDENS - The Miami Dolphins had their fifth training camp practice of the summer at Baptist Health Training Complex on Monday.

Did cornerback Cam Smith practice?

Did wide receiver Tyreek Hill practice?

Smith left practice early on Sunday, with the assistance of a trainer.

Hill did not practice Sunday in a possible veterans' rest day.

But the Hill situation is worth watching because he would like a new contract.

Hill practices very hard despite his veteran status and so sometimes the Dolphins feel they need to hold him back to protect him from himself.

Dolphins cornerback Cam Smith was not seen at the start of Dolphins practice on Monday.

Coach Mike McDaniel does not speak with reporters Monday, so an update could come Tuesday.

Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill was not seen working at the start of Dolphins practice on Monday.

UPDATE: Tyreek Hill did practice, after all. He caught a pass early in practice and fans roared.

Here are some more observations
