The Miami Dolphins’ Week 8 roundup connects Sunday’s matchup with the New England Patriots to the franchise’s 2008 Wildcat victory. Published by Web Content Coordinator Grace O’Donnell, the collection includes practice and game galleries, roster news, player and coach coverage, and community updates. The Dolphins are preparing to face New England on Sunday.
Wildcat history returns before Patriots matchup
The roundup features a visual history of the Wildcat offense, including the Dolphins’ 38-13 victory over the Patriots on Sept. 21, 2008, at Gillette Stadium. Miami unveiled the offense in that game, with running back Ronnie Brown taking direct snaps under center and throwing a touchdown pass. The gallery also includes Miami Dolphins coach Tony Sparano receiving a Gatorade shower after the victory.
The historical feature gives the Week 8 matchup a direct connection to the teams’ 2008 meeting. It appears alongside current Dolphins coverage as Miami prepares for Sunday’s game. The roundup also includes a separate gallery from Week 8 practice.
Roundup includes Jets coverage and Patriots material
The collection includes a gallery from the Dolphins’ 2026 game at the New York Jets. Additional coverage includes the Dolphins’ 28-25 road victory over the Jets, a three-takeaways feature, an inside-the-numbers article and a “Drive Time” podcast about the finish. The roundup also links to Patriots-related viewing and listening information.
Other featured material includes top quotes about the Patriots coming to town and “Mic’d Up with Malik Washington: Week 7 at New York Jets.” The collection also includes film breakdowns and other Dolphins podcast and video programming. Together, the items provide multiple forms of coverage before the Week 8 matchup.
Christian Haynes joins Miami in roster move
The Miami Dolphins claimed guard Christian Haynes off waivers from Seattle on Oct. 28, 2026. The team waived guard DJ Campbell in the corresponding move. The roster transaction is one of the key pieces of team news included in the weekly roundup.
The press conference listings include S Michael Taaffe, G/T Kadyn Proctor, DL Kenneth Grant, WR Malik Washington, head coach Jeff Hafley, QB Malik Willis, DL Zach Sieler, C Aaron Brewer and EDGE Josh Uche.

Community work also featured
The Dolphins’ weekly collection extends beyond football coverage. The team hosted the 5000 Role Models of Excellence Project Police and Youth Conference at Hard Rock Stadium. That event is included among the community updates in the roundup.
Miami Dolphins players also visited patients at a children’s hospital in South Florida on Oct. 27, 2026. The accompanying gallery identifies Zach Sieler, Kenneth Grant, Rene Konga, Josh Uche and Zeek Biggers among the players shown during the visit. The hospital visit adds another team activity to the Week 8 collection.
FSB Take
The roundup gives the Dolphins’ Week 8 coverage a clear Patriots focus while also documenting current team activity. The Wildcat gallery supplies historical context, and the Haynes-Campbell transaction adds a roster development to the team’s preparation. The practice gallery and Patriots matchup coverage make Sunday’s game the immediate competitive focus of the collection.
