The team is moving to South Florida because of Hurricane Ian, which is set to move over Florida's west coast on Wednesday.
The Miami Dolphins' Baptist Health Training Complex in Miami Gardens will be the site of the team's practice for the rest of the week. The Dolphins had two days of joint practices with the Buccaneers before their preseason game.
There was a storm warning for the area. The worst effects of the storm will be felt on Thursday. Ian is a Category 2 storm and is expected to strengthen as it moves off the coast.
I don't believe anyone is prepared for this. Tom Brady said on his "Let's Go!" radio show that he had been preparing all morning and trying to put his stuff inside. They're talking about the high storm surge and it's scary. When it really hits your doorstep, it's frightening.
As of Monday evening, the plan is to host the Kansas City Chiefs at Raymond James Stadium on Sunday night, despite the situation being monitored by the National Football League. Even though the Dolphins won't be using their stadium on Sunday, league sources told Jeff Darlington that Miami is unlikely to be used as the new game site.
The league does not want to risk taking up state resources to host a game in Miami that could be better utilized in the aftermath of the storm, according to sources.
The Vikings play the New Orleans Saints in London in Week 4 if the game is moved to Minneapolis. The plans are not set in stone because of the path of the storm.
