Miami Dolphins star cornerback Jalen Ramsey encountered an unexpected setback during Thursday’s practice as he experienced knee trouble that required immediate attention. The team later confirmed that Ramsey underwent surgery to address the issue, leaving fans concerned about his availability for the upcoming season.

Head coach Mike McDaniel, however, remained measured in his comments about Ramsey’s future. When asked about the cornerback’s potential timeline for recovery or return to the field, McDaniel declined to speculate, stating, “Our focus is on Jalen’s health and well-being. We’re not thinking beyond this moment right now.”

Ramsey, who was acquired in a high-profile trade earlier this year, has been a key figure in bolstering the Dolphins’ secondary. His absence, if prolonged, could significantly impact Miami’s defense, which is expected to face stiff competition in the AFC East this season.

Despite the uncertainty, McDaniel and the team expressed optimism about Ramsey’s resilience. “He’s a fighter, and we know he’ll approach this with the same focus and determination that’s made him one of the best in the league,” McDaniel added.

The Dolphins have yet to provide a specific timeline for Ramsey’s recovery, leaving fans eagerly awaiting updates as the team prepares for the start of the season.
