The Miami Dolphins received some positive news on the Jalen Ramsey injury. The star cornerback went down with a serious leg injury during a training camp session on Thursday, but it’s not season-ending.
The veteran injured his knee and will undergo surgery for what is a meniscus injury. He’s expected to miss the start of the regular season, and possibly be sidelined until December, per NFL Media.
Ramsey tweeted hours after suffering the injury:
“I’ll be back on that field stronger than ever… in due time! This SO minor for God’s child! I trust fully & know He got me! Im forever grateful to worship His name! I know my brothers gone hold it down until I’m back tho! Appreciate the love & support! Time to get right!”
According to a report from NFL Media, no firm determination will be made until surgery, the likely outcome is a full meniscus repair, bringing Ramsey back in December if all goes well.

Ramsey was traded from the Los Angeles Rams to the Dolphins earlier this offseason for a third-round pick and tight end Hunter Long, sending the Florida State product back to the Sunshine State. The former No. 5 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft is a six-time Pro Bowler, three-time All-Pro and Super Bowl LVI champion.
