MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- The Miami Dolphins will be without two of their top players from a season ago at mandatory minicamp this week, as cornerback Jalen Ramsey and tight end Jonnu Smith will not participate.
The Dolphins and Ramsey have sought since April to facilitate a trade, which head coach Mike McDaniel said excuses the three-time All-Pro from practice. Smith, however, is seeking a new contract after a career year in 2024, and his absence is not excused.
"That's something that we've been in communication with [him] and I don't really need to get into personal matters," McDaniel said.
