The Miami Dolphins won\u2019t have their new cornerback, Jalen Ramsey, on the field to start the regular season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ramsey will undergo knee surgery after suffering a training camp injury, according to ESPN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ramsey\u2019s ACL is intact, ESPN added, and the NFL Network reported Ramsey’s meniscus requires surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A more serious injury would likely cost Ramsey the entire season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ramsey injured a knee while colliding with Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill during Thursday\u2019s training camp session and was carted off the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Results of the Dolphins\u2019 initial tests clearly weren\u2019t good and surgery was quickly recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hill also fell on the field during the collision, but he got up quickly while Ramsey stayed on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ramsey, a six-time Pro Bowl corner, joined the Dolphins via trade from the Los Angeles Rams this offseason, bolstering an already strong secondary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ramsey was to be paired with Xavien Howard following Byron Jones\u2019 departure, and the Dolphins were expected to have one of the top cornerback tandems in the league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, the Dolphins will likely turn to Keion Crossen or second-round pick Cam Smith to fill in for Ramsey until his return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ramsey\u2019s timeline for recovery has yet to be determined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arguably the best cornerback in the game, Ramsey is a three-time All-Pro since he entered the league as the Jacksonville Jaguars\u2019 fifth overall pick of the 2015 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
