The Miami Dolphins want to prove to the league that last year’s 11-win season was no fluke.  They put their money where their mouth is this off-season by signing Tua Tagovailoa to a massive extension.  They also restructured Tyreek Hill’s contract to give him more guaranteed money after he was voted the number one player in the league by his peers.

However, week one won’t be easy for the Dolphins for a number of reasons.

Star cornerback Jalen Ramsey’s status for Sunday’s season opener is not only up in the air, it’s starting to create a massive concern.

Jalen Ramsey wasn’t involved in Miami Dolphins practice Thursday, which is highly concerning.

It appears Ramsey was once again being held out of practice due to his hamstring injury that has kept him sidelined for the past two weeks.  However, Ramsey isn’t even close to the only one on the injury report:
