The Eagles and Dolphins will meet in a high-profile Sunday night matchup in Week 7, and it was supposed to feature two of the NFL’s top cornerback duos.
Miami will be without one-half of their star cover guys, as Jalen Ramsey will be out until December after having a complete meniscus repair on Thursday.
#Dolphins star Jalen Ramsey did, in fact, undergo a full meniscus repair this morning, sources say, knocking him out until December.
While it takes him off the field for the first half of 2023, it is the best long-term health option for Ramsey. It likely lengthens his career. pic.twitter.com/i6j7OUhIZl

Ramsey suffered the injury toward the end of Thursday’s practice and was carted back to the locker room.
An MRI on Thursday evening revealed damage to his meniscus, and the team has not provided a complete timeline for his recovery.
Second-year cornerback Kader Kohou and 2023 second-round pick Cam Smith will fill the void in Miami’s secondary opposite four-time Pro Bowler Xavien Howard.
