Jeff Howe of The Athletic reported Thursday that Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel revealed five players on last year's roster accounted for half of the team's internal fines for violations such as being late.

The Dolphins have been hit with an injury bug in training camp which continued this past weekend in a preseason tie with the Chicago Bears.

One of the crucial steps for McDaniel in rebuilding Miami's culture was getting rid of distractions. That meant some players had to go.
