Jalen Ramsey to undergo knee surgery, will miss start of regular season

Six-time Pro Bowl defensive back Jalen Ramsey will undergo surgery on his meniscus, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, and is expected to “miss the start” of the 2023 regular season after going down with an injury at practice on Thursday.

He’s expected to miss “six to eight weeks” thanks to the injury, and doctors will have to determine whether or not they need to remove Ramsey’s meniscus or just repair it, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, who says that the former would result in a longer recovery.

The Miami Dolphins star still has his ACL intact despite being carted off the field, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Ramsey also commented on the matter on social media after the news was released.

“I’ll be back on that field stronger than ever… in due time! This SO minor for God’s child! I trust fully & know He got me! I’m forever grateful to worship His name! I know my brothers gone hold it down until I’m back tho! Appreciate the love & support! Time to get right!” Ramsey tweeted.

Ramsey is coming off his sixth consecutive Pro Bowl appearance in 2022 after a career year for the Rams. He totaled a career-high 88 tackles to go with two sacks, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.
