In this story:

Cornerback Jalen Ramsey will indeed be active for the Miami Dolphins' Week 1 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The biggest takeaway from the team's inactive list was that three rookie draft picks were on it — running back Jaylen Wright, linebacker Mohamed Kamara, and wide receiver Malik Washington, who was ruled out on the final injury report of the week because of a quad injury.

Another former draft pick, 2022 top selection Channing Tindall, will also be inactive. The team has four linebackers: Jordyn Brooks, David Long, Jr., Duke Riley, and Anthony Walker, Jr.

Another interesting development was the Dolphins choosing to activate rookie free agent Storm Duck ahead of Ethan Bonner for one of the backup cornerback spots.

The Dolphins' other rookie free agent on the roster, offensive lineman Andrew Meyer, was the final player on the inactive list.

That left first-round pick Chop Robinson, second-round tackle Patrick Paul, and Duck as the only rookies set to make their NFL debut Sunday.

As expected, wide receiver Tyreek Hill will be active after being detained by police and briefly handcuffed because of a traffic violation outside Hard Rock Stadium.

JACKSONVILLE INACTIVE INFO

The Jacksonville inactive list includes safety Daniel Thomas, offensive lineman Javon Foster, offensive lineman Cole Van Lanen, defensive tackle Esezi Otomewo, defensive tackle Jordan Jefferson, and defensive tackle Jeremiah Ledbetter.

Thomas was already ruled out when he was downgraded Saturday because of an Achilles injury.
