What happened: Miami Dolphins rookie wide receiver Caleb Douglas expressed eagerness to resume full football activities following an ankle injury that sidelined him earlier this season. "I can’t wait to be back tired at practice," Douglas said. "It’s a privilege to be tired.

Why it matters: Douglas was previously ruled out ahead of Week 5 as Miami managed multiple roster absences during a difficult start to the season. Getting the rookie target back on the field provides perimeter depth for an offense seeking consistency.

By the numbers: The Dolphins sit at 1-5 after securing their first victory of the season in a 28-25 win over the New York Jets.

What to watch: Miami continues preparations for its upcoming matchup against the New England Patriots. Douglas' practice participation designations will determine his readiness for game action.
