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.

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.
Ramsey made his presence felt immediately in his return from knee surgery, intercepting Mac Jones on a pass intended for Kendrick Bourne and returning it 49 yards to help set up the Dolphins for a field goal. Ramsey also forced a fumble on Ezekiel Elliott at the beginning of the second quarter, but the ball went out of bounds. Ramsey's return was a welcome one, with Xavien Howard (groin) ruled out for the contest, and the two of them will form a formidable cornerback duo once the latter is fully healthy. Ramsey appears to be fully recovered from his knee surgery, as he played 92 percent of the defensive snaps Sunday.
Ramsey has been upping his practice reps and intensity throughout the week. Though he's listed as questionable, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Thursday that the Dolphins are expecting Ramsey to make his 2023 season debut against the divisional-rival Patriots. The 2016 first-round pick was acquired by Miami in March from the Rams in exchange for a third-round pick but missed training camp after sustaining a knee injury in late July at the beginning of training camp. Ramsey's return is a welcome one for the Dolphins' secondary, which could be without Xavien Howard (groin) for a second straight week.
Ramsey also took reps with the starting defense during 7-on-7 drills. The star cornerback is looking to make his season debut after suffering a torn meniscus in July. He returned to practice last week, but ultimately did not play Week 7.
