Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Dolphins CB Jalen Ramsey required a full repair of his torn meniscus which means he won’t be able to return until December.
Rapoport says that this was the best long-term option for Ramsey and it will likely lengthen his career.
Ramsey suffered the injury during Thursday’s practice while covering Tyreek Hill.
You can expect the Dolphins to place him on injured reserve at the start of the season.
Ramsey, 28, is a former first-round pick of the Jaguars back in 2016. He signed a four-year, $23.35 million contract and is set to make a base salary of $3.63 million in 2019.
The Jaguars picked up Ramsey’s fifth-year option that will cost them around $13 million for the 2020 season before trading him to the Rams for two first-round picks and a fourth-round selection.
He signed a five-year, $105 million extension before the start of the 2020 season. Ramsey is due base salaries of $17 million and $14.5 million over the next two years.
From there, Ramsey was traded to the Dolphins this past March.
In 2022, Ramsey appeared in all 17 games for the Rams and recorded 88 tackles, two sacks, four interceptions, three forced fumbles, a recovery, and 18 pass defenses.
