The Miami Dolphins are only one game into the season, but the vibes are already off.

ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques reported on Thursday evening that the Dolphins held a players-only meeting on Tuesday after Sunday's 33-8 loss to the Indianapolis Colts.

Per Louis-Jacques, the meeting sought to affirm the team remained on the same page ahead of the rest of the 2025 slate. As you can probably guess, a players-only meeting this early can be an encouraging sign of synergy, but it can also hint that fractures are already forming for the season. Either way, this is not common after Week 1.

"Losing the way we did can be discouraging. Outside noise -- people talking, family talking, everybody talking," Dolphins linebacker Jordyn Brooks said about the players-only meeting, per ESPN. "[The meeting was] just kind of making sure that everybody's together. When you lose like that, it's easy for people to get discouraged, start looking, questioning maybe yourself or others. So making sure that we all locked back in, making sure that the belief is still there.

"You lose belief, you don't have nothing. So making sure that everybody's still on the same page and come back next week, stronger."

With the Dolphins one of the teams being watched for possible regime change in 2026, the team is going to have to put Sunday's Colts loss behind them quickly to keep the ship afloat.
