The Dolphins inside linebacker unit, which saw Channing Tindall record six tackles Sunday, continues to show it might be the best and deepest unit on the team.

While the Dolphins' starters likely won't play much, if they even play at all, the exhibition matchup is most valuable for the players battling for the last few spots on the roster. That includes several young receivers, cornerbacks, and special teams in tight battles with their teammates.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa saw the value in playing a series in Sunday's preseason opener even if it didn't end the way he would have liked. The game itself didn't end the way Miami or the Chicago Bears would have liked.
