    The Miami Dolphins will have two of their three preseason games shown live on national television, with NFL Network releasing its slate Monday.

    The Dolphins' preseason opener against the Chicago Bears on Aug. 14 will be among the 23 games televised live by NFL Network ahead of the 2021 regular season. The game at Soldier Field, which will kick off at 1 p.m. Eastern time, will follow two days of joint practices between the Dolphins and the Bears.

    The other Dolphins preseason game to be televised live on national television is the finale at Cincinnati on Aug. 29 that will be shown on CBS and will feature the two quarterbacks selected among the top five picks of the 2020 NFL draft — the Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa and the Bengals' Joe Burrow.
