Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jakeem Grant will be placed on injured reserve Monday, according to an NFL source, marking another significant loss for a team that has been plagued by injuries this season.
Grant, in his third season, suffered an Achilles’ tendon injury against the Green Bay Packers Nov. 11. And although the source confirmed the tendon was not ruptured, which will save Grant from undergoing full reconstructive surgery and a rehabilitation process that would last 10-12 months, the receiver did undergo a lesser procedure to address the problem.
Grant is expected to be 100 percent cleared for the start of training camp in 2019 and probably much earlier.
