Miami Dolphins tight ends coach Jon Embree will take over head coaching duties for Mike McDaniel during the second half of the upcoming preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This move is part of a practice run for the Dolphins in case McDaniel needs to miss a game in the future. Despite Embree taking on head coaching responsibilities, McDaniel will continue to call the offensive plays. Embree has a long history of coaching tight ends in the NFL and has worked closely with McDaniel since 2017.

• Jon Embree's promotion to head coach for the preseason game indicates the Dolphins' preparation for potential coaching absences.
• Embree has extensive coaching experience, particularly with tight ends, which could influence the Dolphins' offensive strategy.
