During his media session on Sunday, Mike McDaniel said that they are fortunate with the injury to Cam Smith, and he doesn’t think it’s a long-term issue. He said the timeline for his return is a little grey, and it depends on how his body reacts to treatment. It can be insinuated by McDaniel’s comments that Smith will probably miss a couple of weeks; anything beyond that would be conjecture at this time.  The Dolphins did add CB Jamal Perry to the roster on Sunday with the news of Smith’s injury and potential time missed. 

Smith has turned a lot of heads in training camp and has been a rookie standout early on. Hopefully, this injury doesn’t cost him too much valuable practice time and set back his rookie season.

With Trill Wiliams moving to safety, Jalen Ramsey out until at least December, and Nik Needham still on the PUP list with no immediate time frame to return, on top of the recent Cam Smith injury, the Dolphins’ secondary appears to have the same injury bug that it had last season in 2022.
