Tom Garfinkel Steps Away as Dolphins President and CEO, Remains with Organization
Johnson is learning outside and nickel duties, and he has recorded an interception and a fumble recovery through five practices, coaches said.
- Miami Dolphins rookie cornerback Chris Johnson is juggling outside and nickel defensive roles simultaneously during training camp, learning two positions at once as the team evaluates his versatility.
- The 2026 season marks a transition for the Dolphins, who implemented a youth movement this offseason and hired head coach Jeff Hafley and general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan to lead a roster relying heavily on rookies.
- Johnson told reporters he is working to master "comms, hand signals" to ensure the defense has 11 players on the field, though Miami Herald writer Omar Kelly called his recent 1-on-1 performance a "disastrous 1 on 1 day."
- On Tuesday, president and CEO Tom Garfinkel stepped down after 13 years, while owner Stephen Ross promoted Daniel Sillman to CEO of the newly created Ross Sports & Entertainment entity.
- Ross Sports & Entertainment will consolidate the Dolphins, Hard Rock Stadium, and other holdings into one entity, with Sillman overseeing football operations to build on the foundation Garfinkel established.
