The Miami Dolphins will open their 2023 campaign against the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium on Sept. 10, which is now 81 days away.
Until the opening kickoff of the season, we’ll be counting down each day by remembering the players who have worn each specific jersey number.
No. 81 is currently worn by tight end Durham Smythe, who is transitioning into the team’s top tight end after having Mike Gesicki ahead of his since 2018.
