Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert says he’s cleared to participate in training camp

Raheem Mostert’s 2021 season ended just as it was beginning, as he left in Week 1 due to a knee injury that cost him the rest of the year.

Despite the injury, the Miami Dolphins offered Mostert a contract this offseason that paid him $3.125 million in 2022.

Throughout minicamp and OTAs, Mostert had to watch as his teammates got a chance to learn the offense on the field under head coach Mike McDaniel in his first year in Miami. Luckily for Mostert, he’s familiar with McDaniel’s system, as they spent the last five seasons together in San Francisco.

With bated breath, coaches, media and fans have been waiting to see Mostert return to action and participate in drills. According to the running back himself, he’s been cleared for action.

When he’s on the field, the former Boilermaker is one of the most productive running backs in the league, averaging an impressive 5.7 yards per carry in his career.

Now, Mostert’s ready to compete for touches in Miami’s training camp with veterans like Chase Edmonds, Sony Michel, Myles Gaskin and Salvon Ahmed. Undrafted free agent ZaQuandre White and last year’s practice squad member Gerrid Doaks will be battling as well.

If Mostert can stay healthy, the Dolphins’ rushing attack looks like a formidable one.
