TAMPA - The Miami Dolphins traveled to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a joint practice on Wednesday morning that will conclude the training camp practice portion of the summer.

Tua Tagovailoa and coach Mike McDaniel are challenging Baker Mayfield and Todd Bowles.

Miami Dolphins practice updates: Tyreek Hill injury

• Mike McDaniel said Tyreek Hill could practice and play theoretically but they’ll be cautious with a thumb injury and so nothing in team work today. Mike jokes he played thumb war with Tyreek.

• Tyreek was not wearing the brace on his hand he had in a previous practice.

• Mike says some starters will play and other won’t on Friday night. For the majority of the starters, that makes today a big practice.

• Growth and demonstrating positivity amid turmoil are the keys for backup quarterbacks Mike White and Skylar Thompson in today’s practice. Mike also indicated both will play Friday.

• Tua is a “freakish” learner, Mike says. One of Tua’s top four goals was mobility and extending plays thorough fitness goals and he has done that.

• Mike feels good about the top players on the offensive line. But there are still some spots to be settled.
