88 days till Dolphins season opener: Every player to wear No. 88 for Miami

The Miami Dolphins will open their 2023 campaign against the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium on Sept. 10, which is now 88 days away.

Until the opening kickoff of the season, we’ll be counting down each day by remembering the players who have worn each specific jersey number.

No. 88 is currently worn by wide receiver Freddie Swain, who returned to Miami this offseason after a stint on the practice squad last year. However, there are a few memorable players who have donned the number.

With 88 days until their Week 1 battle, here’s a look at every player to ever wear No. 88 for the Dolphins (via Pro Football Reference):
