Miami Dolphins All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey will return to practice on Wednesday for the first time since sustaining a torn meniscus in his knee during training camp.
Coach Mike McDaniel confirmed Ramsey’s return. However, he said the three-time All-Pro would not play for the Dolphins (5-1) in Sunday night’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles (5-1).
Ramsey, who turns 29 next week, underwent surgery on his left knee on July 28 and was not expected back until December.
The non-contact injury occurred in training camp while he was covering wideout Tyreek Hill in an 11-on-11 drill.
“He literally called his shot,” McDaniel said of Ramsey. “… He told us before his surgery that he was going to (be back). He kept telling me he was an alien, and I’m starting to believe him.”
The six-time Pro Bowl selection joined Miami in a March 12 trade with the Los Angeles Rams.
Ramsey has 19 interceptions in 108 career games (107 starts) with the Jacksonville Jaguars (2016-19) and Rams (2019-22).
