Miami Dolphins announce 2017 preseason schedule
MIAMI – The Miami Dolphins will kick off the 2017 preseason with back-to-back home games against the Atlanta Falcons and Baltimore Ravens. It is the first time Miami has played consecutive home contests to open the preseason schedule since 2009. The Dolphins also will play preseason road games at the Philadelphia Eagles and Minnesota Vikings. The exact dates and kickoff times of all 2017 preseason games will be announced at a later date.
Miami will open its preseason schedule at Hard Rock Stadium in Week 1 (Aug. 10-14) when it hosts the defending NFC Champions Atlanta Falcons.
