‘It’s go time!!’ Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert says he’s cleared for training camp

Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert said Monday that he’s been cleared to participate in training camp, which begins later this week.

“[Good morning] everyone. Wanted to give you all an update…Yah Boy is CLEARED!!! It’s go time!!” Mostert wrote on Twitter.

“Being told you may never step on the field again isn’t easy to hear,” he later wrote, “But when you bet on yourself, your faith, your determination, and modern medicine, good things happen[.] Hard work pays off! Beyond thankful!! Year 8, LFG!!!”

Mostert, 30, sustained a knee injury in Week 1 of the 2021 season with the San Francisco 49ers and later underwent surgery, which sidelined him for the rest of the season. The Dolphins signed Mostert to a one-year deal worth $2.125 million, reuniting him with first-year head coach Mike McDaniel and a zone running scheme that Mostert has excelled in. Mostert didn’t participate in organized team activities during the spring but McDaniel said the expectation was that Mostert would be ready for Week 1 of the 2022 season.

While Mostert will be ready for the start of the training camp this week, the Dolphins last Friday placed cornerback Byron Jones on the active/physically-unable-to-perform list. Jones underwent surgery for his Achilles in March. The team also placed defensive back Elijah Campbell on the non-football injury list.

Dolphins rookies reported to the Baptist Health Training Complex on July 19 for the start of training camp. Veterans report Tuesday.
