The Facts: Carroo is expected to soon undergo "minor" knee surgery to clean up loose bodies in his knee and that will cause him to miss next week's veteran minicamp, according to a source.
Diehards Line:
According to Herald staffer Armando Salguero, Carroo, a 2016 third-round selection, is expected to be ready for the start of training camp in late July. That seems like good news. But Salguero went on to note that Carroo will have to impress more than he ever has when that camp begins if he wants to make the team. That's because the Dolphins have much more talent at receiver in 2018 than they've had in recent years. Kenny Stills remains a stalwart among Miami's receivers. The Dolphins are hoping DeVante Parker can finally overcome nagging injuries and play up to his very high but yet unmet potential. The team also signed veteran Danny Amendola to be a tough cover in the slot and he has already gained the confidence of quarterback Ryan Tannehill. Albert Wilson, signed this offseason as a free agent from Kansas City, is perhaps outplaying all of the others in OTA practices so far this spring. Coaches also have seen promising signs from third-year receiver Jakeem Grant and they hope he can continue to expand on his abilities beyond sheer blazing speed. Grant was ahead of Carroo much of last year and remains there now.
