The swap for Tagovailoa in favor of quarterback Zach Wilson led to the first score of the day. A deep pass to Nick Westbrook-Ikhine for 35 yards got the Dolphins deep into Bears territory. Six plays later, Mattison scampered into the end zone for the 1-yard score. The seven-year veteran finished with 8 yards on three attempts and a touchdown.

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.
