Sign up for NFL+ to watch The Insiders every Monday-Friday at noon ET for more exclusive reports.<\/em><\/p>\n Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey’s return to game-action is approaching after Miami opened his 21-day practice window on Oct. 18.<\/p>\n Sources explained how Ramsey is so close to being back on the field after undergoing knee surgery to repair his meniscus in late July.<\/p>\n While the assumption was that Ramsey had a displaced meniscus tear, which would necessitate a full repair as opposed to a trim, that was not the case. Sources say Ramsey suffered an outer rim meniscal tear, which is dramatically different than a displaced tear and can be repaired via a trim.<\/p>\n Players are expected to make a full recovery from both injuries. But it’s possible that the doctors felt more confident not having to repair a displaced tear, as opposed to a tear right near the capsule. Repair often means a return of five or six months — which explains the original thought that Ramsey would be back in December.<\/p>\n But the outer rim meniscal tear — because it receives better blood flow — can heal quicker, sometimes as soon as 12 weeks, which is where Ramsey is now from his surgery.<\/p>\n Ramsey has dedicated himself to the team that traded for him in a way few injured players do, according to his head coach.<\/p>\n “I’ve never been around a guy that had this long of a rehab that hasn’t missed team meetings or hasn’t missed practices,” Mike McDaniel told reporters this past week.<\/p>\n Ramsey often would be found cheering on the sidelines as if he’s an active player.<\/p>\n When he’ll return is still a question. He’s ruled out for tonight\u2019s game versus the Eagles, and there are two more games before the Dolphins’ bye in Week 10. McDaniel was asked if there is a chance Ramsey could return prior to the bye.<\/p>\n “I think it’s fair to say there’s a chance,” McDaniel told reporters on Oct. 18. “I’m just not going to — case in point, the target date I didn’t share, because I don’t know. You’ve got to take it one day at a time with those type of things, but I would say that I’m cautiously optimistic.”<\/p>\n Related Links <\/span> <\/h2>\n
