NFL Rumors: Jalen Ramsey will be out until December
Dolphins fans got relatively good news after Jalen Ramsey suffered an injury injury to his left knee during training camp. He did not tear his ACL, instead suffering a meniscus injury that would require surgery, but wouldn’t end his season before it began. While returning for the start of the season was not likely, a best case scenario could see the corner could miss as few as six weeks.
Unfortunately, Friday brought bad news. According to Ian Rapoport, doctors performing the surgery on Ramsey needed to do a full repair of the ligament damage instead of just a trim. That means he will be out until December.
It’s still much better that Ramsey avoided ACL damage. There would be no hope of a return this season if he did. It’s just a bummer that the meniscus damage was as severe as it turned out to be.
The Dolphins traded for Ramsey in March and had high hopes for what he could bring to their defense. He can still bring those things, it just has to wait.
The window for a return now begins after Week 12. Miami finishes the season with games against the Commanders, Titans, Jets, Cowboys, Ravens and Bills. You can bet the Dolphins will hope to have Ramsey back for most of those with an eye on reaching max strength for the playoffs.
