Dolphins' Jalen Ramsey: Logs full practice Thursday
Rotowire
Ramsey (knee) was listed as a full practice participant on Thursday's injury report, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Ramsey was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a knee issue, but he was able to go through team drills Thursday without any limitations. Unless he suffers a setback, Ramsey should be good to go for Sunday's AFC East clash against the Patriots. Ramsey has played every single defensive snap in the five regular-season games since the Dolphins' Week 6 bye, and over that span he has registered 20 tackles (15 solo) and four pass defenses (including two interceptions).

Dolphins' Jalen Ramsey: Dealing with knee injury
Rotowire
Ramsey (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Ramsey played 100 percent of the Dolphins' defensive snaps and recorded five total tackles and two passes defended, including one interception, in Sunday's win over the Raiders. However, it now appears that he picked up a knee injury in the process. Ramsey's participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can play through the issue in the Week 12 divisional matchup against the Patriots.

Dolphins' Jalen Ramsey: Nabs second pick of season
Rotowire
Ramsey finished Sunday's 34-19 win over Las Vegas with five solo tackles and two pass defenses (including one interception).
Ramsey picked off Gardner Minshew late in the fourth quarter on a pass intended for Jakobi Meyers, which led to a 46-yard field goal from Jason Sanders four plays later. Ramsey has now logged two interceptions over his last three games, and for the year he's up to 40 tackles (26 solo) and six pass defenses (including two interceptions) across 10 regular-season games.

Dolphins' Jalen Ramsey: Nabs first pick of season
Rotowire
Ramsey recorded one tackle (one solo) and an interception during Sunday's 30-27 loss at Buffalo.
Josh Allen wisely avoided targeting Ramsey for most of Sunday's contest, but he was still able to make a mark in Week 9 early in the second quarter by corralling a red-zone pass after it bounced off the fingertips of Keon Coleman. His assignment in Week 10 will be to try to slow down Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua in Los Angeles.

Dolphins' Jalen Ramsey: Ready for Thursday
Rotowire
Ramsey (hamstring) was left off the Dolphins' injury report Wednesday ahead of Thursday night's matchup with the Bills, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Ramsey has been nursing a hamstring injury over the past week, but it appears he's healthy enough to suit up for Thursday night's divisional matchup. The All-Pro corner helped lead Miami's defense in holding the Jaguars to just 139 passing yards in Week 1, the ninth-best mark in the NFL. Expect Ramsey to line up opposite Kendall Fuller and create problems for Buffalo's wide receivers in Week 2.

Dolphins' Jalen Ramsey: Starts week limited
Rotowire
Ramsey (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant in Monday's practice estimate, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Ramsey continues to deal with the injury, which has limited him for multiple weeks. However, it's worth noting he was able to play through it in Sunday's win over the Jaguars, and despite an expected limited snap count, Ramsey still logged 38 plays on defense. With just three days to prepare for Thursday's game against the Bills, it's likely the veteran corner will remain limited throughout the week but ultimately suit up for the game.

Dolphins' Jalen Ramsey: Suiting up in season opener
Rotowire
Ramsey (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Ramsey had been held out of practice since around mid-August before he returned to the field as a limited participant Friday. The cornerback -- who finalized a three-year contract extension that same day -- apparently did enough during the practice to convince the Dolphins he was ready to play in Sunday's season opener, even though he had been listed as questionable heading into the day. Though Ramsey will likely start, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network relays that the 29-year-old is expected to be on something of a pitch count in Week 1 coming off the hamstring issue.

Dolphins' Jalen Ramsey: Should play, likely to be limited
Rotowire
Ramsey (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, is expected to suit up but will likely play on a limited snap count, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Ramsey missed practices Wednesday and Thursday due to the hamstring injury before returning to the field as a limited participant Friday, the same day that he finalized a three-year, $72.3 million contract extension. Even though Ramsey now has some longer-term security with the Dolphins, the coaching staff won't ask him to take on a full workload Sunday, likely due in part to the team facing a quick turnaround for Week 2 with a Thursday matchup with the Bills. Ramsey should be formally cleared when the Dolphins release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET Week 1 kickoff.

Rotowire
Ramsey (undisclosed) is not practicing Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Dolphins' Jalen Ramsey: Re-working contract with Miami
Rotowire
The Dolphins plans to clear more than $19 million in cap space by restructuring Ramsey's contract, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
On a day with a lot of movement around the league, the update from Miami indicates that Ramsey will be sticking around for 2024. He was able to suit up for only 10 games in 2023, and he's set to turn 30 in October, but he still figures as the Dolphins' top cover corner.

Dolphins' Jalen Ramsey: Return window opens
Rotowire
Ramsey (knee) will rejoin the Dolphins for practice Wednesday, opening a 21-day window for his return from injured reserve, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
Ramsey underwent surgery in late July to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee, but he's nearing a return to action, well before original projections that had him likely to sit out until December. Wolfe adds that Ramsey won't play in Sunday's game against the Eagles, but a Week 8 return against the Patriots could be a realistic outcome for the star cornerback if he progresses through practice as Miami's training staff hopes. Ramsey's return could provide a significant defensive boost for the Dolphins, who are off to a 5-1 start primarily due to their league-best offense, which is averaging 37.2 points per game.

Dolphins' Jalen Ramsey: Expected to miss most of season
Rotowire
Ramsey (knee) had his left meniscus repaired Friday and is expected to miss most of the 2023 season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The report says Ramsey will be out until December, an outcome he hinted at Thursday when he tweeted that his "end of the season push" would be "legendary." Other players have missed entire seasons after summer meniscus repairs -- including then-Vikings TE Irv Smith in 2021 -- but there's at least some chance for a same-season return in this case, given that Ramsey suffered the injury at the very start of training camp and is on a team with a realistic chance at a deep postseason run. That chance would be better with Ramsey in the Week 1 lineup, of course, but the Dolphins still have a respectable-looking CB group between standout Xavien Howard, slot man Kader Kohou, second-round rookie Cam Smith and former slot starter Nik Needham. They've also got thee starting-caliber safeties in Jevon Holland, DeShon Elliott and Brandon Jones

Dolphins' Jalen Ramsey: MRI coming
Rotowire
Ramsey (knee) is undergoing an MRI on his left knee in the near future, Alain Poupart of Sports Illustrated reports.
After colliding with All-Pro wideout Tyreek Hill during Thursday's training camp, Ramsey was carted off the field with a left knee injury. The three-time All-Pro was acquired by Miami this offseason for a 2023 third-round pick. The MRI will tell us more about the seriousness of the stud cornerback's injury.

Rams' Jalen Ramsey: Snags two picks in season finale
Rotowire
Ramsey recorded five solo tackles, two interceptions and three pass defenses during Sunday's 19-16 overtime loss to the Seahawks.
Ramsey was able to effectively blanket DK Metcalf, and both of the veteran cornerback's interceptions did indeed come on targets to the star wideout. Ramsey didn't wait long to notch the first pick, as he was able to get in front of Geno Smith's first pass and return the ball all the way back to the Seahawks' 11-yard line, setting up a Matt Gay field goal a few plays later. Ramsey's fourth year with the Rams saw him log career highs in tackles (88) and forced fumbles (three), and he also tied a career high with four interceptions. With three years left on the five-year, $100 million contract extension he signed in 2020, Ramsey will look to continue his lock-down coverage for the Rams in 2023.

Rams' Jalen Ramsey: Six stops in loss
Rotowire
Ramsey logged six tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Saints.
Ramsey finished as his team's second-leading tackler behind linebacker Bobby Wagner, who logged 11 tackles against New Orleans. The All-Pro cornerback has now recorded at least six tackles over each of the last four weeks, including a season-high nine stops against Tampa Bay in Week 9. Ramsey has 50 tackles (39 solo), two sacks, nine passes defended and an interception over 10 games, and, barring injury, he should set a new career high in stops this season.

One week removed from earning his first career sack against Cooper Rush, Ramsey was able to get the jump on P.J. Walker on a blitz in the fourth quarter for his second sack in as many weeks. Ramsey and the Rams defense held the Panthers to a paltry 119 yards through the air and have a bye week in Week 7 before a rematch against the 49ers, which totaled 327 yards of total offense in their first clash in Week 4.

Rams' Jalen Ramsey: Six tackles in rough outing
Rotowire
Ramsey recorded six solo tackles in Thursday's 31-10 loss to the Bills.
Ramsey didn't miss a snap during Thursday's game, but he was burnt by Stefon Diggs on a 53-yard touchdown grab late in the fourth quarter for the final points of the contest. A much easier task is at hand for Week 2, as the Falcons come to town with plenty of opportunities for the Rams and Ramsey to get back on track against an underwhelming offense.
