The Miami Dolphins are eagerly awaiting the return of star cornerback Jalen Ramsey, who has been sidelined with a knee injury since the training camp.
Ramsey, a six-time Pro Bowler, made his practice comeback last week after a lengthy recovery period.
Although Ramsey did not play in the team’s recent game against the Philadelphia Eagles, there is a possibility that he could make his 2023 debut in an upcoming matchup against the New England Patriots in Week 8.
However, it is not yet certain whether Ramsey will be able to suit up and play.
According to defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, it is still “yet to be determined” whether Ramsey’s knee injury has fully healed and if he is ready to return to game action.

Ramsey’s potential return to the Miami secondary would undoubtedly provide a significant boost to the team.
With several other defensive backs dealing with injuries, including Xavien Howard (groin), Kader Kohou (neck), Nik Needham (Achilles), and Cam Smith (foot), having a player of Ramsey’s caliber back in the lineup would greatly enhance the team’s chances of success.
