Welcome to the Splash Zone, the quickest way to get your day started off right. We bring you a rundown of Miami Dolphins news from the last 24 hours.


A new rule was approved by the NFL that would change how the kickoff works. Kick returns are going to become a thing again, at least for a year, under this new setup which is a copy of the XFL kickoff. So with this new rule, will the Dolphins have to make any adjustments for their return game? Braxton Berrios mainly handled return duties last season, but with this new rule it might be wise to find a dynamic returner who has that home run ability. De’Von Achane would be a good choice, but would it be wise to have him out there when he is so valuable on offense?

You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.
