Smith (shoulder) has been a participant during the Dolphins' offseason training activities, Chris Perkins of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Smith missed Miami's final five games last season after landing on IR due to a shoulder injury. The South Carolina product also began the campaign on injured reserve due to a hamstring issue, so health will be a big priority for the cornerback this year. Smith worked in a rotational role and contributed on special teams when he was able to play last season, and he figures to take on a similar role in 2025.

Dolphins' Cam Smith: Struggles in Year 2
Rotowire
Smith (shoulder) who ended the 2024 campaign on IR, tallied just 16 tackles (13 solo) across six regular-season appearances.
Smith began the year on IR due to a hamstring injury sustained back in July, then had his season come to an early end due to a dislocated left shoulder. The 2023 second-round pick will work to get fully healthy and progress in his development this offseason, but it's difficult to imagine him carving out more than a rotational role at cornerback for the 2025 campaign.

Dolphins' Cam Smith: Dislocates left shoulder
Rotowire
Smith suffered a left dislocated shoulder in Thursday's 30-17 loss to the Packers, head coach Mike McDaniel confirmed to Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com.
There's no timetable for Smith's return, though McDaniel confirmed the cornerback was in significant pain following Thursday's loss. Smith's next chance to play will come against the Jets on Sunday, Dec. 8, though it's uncertain if he'll recover in time for that matchup. If he's unable to go, then Storm Duck and Siran Neal will be candidates for increased snaps, though Kendall Fuller (concussion) will be the primary option if he gains clearance for that contest.

Dolphins' Cam Smith: Questionable due to shoulder injury
Rotowire
Smith is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Packers due to a shoulder injury.
Smith headed to the locker room late in the second quarter, and losing him would make a forgettable half for the Dolphins even worse. If Smith is unable to return, Miami's depth at cornerback could be seriously tested in the second half considering Kader Kohou (back) is also uncertain to play in the remainder of Thursday's game.

Rotowire
Head coach Mike McDaniel said Tuesday that Smith (undisclosed) will not miss the entirety of training camp, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Smith left with a trainer during practice Sunday and was absent from Monday's and Tuesday's sessions, per Adam Stites of USAToday.com.

Smith hurt his hamstring against the Jets in Week 15 and won't return to the contest.

Dolphins' Cam Smith: Could miss multiple weeks
Rotowire
Smith (shoulder) could miss two weeks, according to head coach Mike McDaniel, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
Smith's recovery timeline is ultimately in a "gray area," according to McDaniel, but he's not expected to be out long term. The South Carolina product was working to earn a starting job at cornerback, but with the recent addition of Eli Apple, coupled with this injury, he may have to begin the 2023 campaign in a reserve role, assuming he is fully recovered by Week 1.

Dolphins' Cam Smith: Heading to South Beach
Rotowire
The Dolphins selected Smith in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 51st overall.
Smith was Miami's first draft pick this year, showing that despite the Jalen Ramsey addition, the Dolphins wanted more corner help. The boundary spots are locked down in Miami, but Smith is still projected to push for playing time. He broke up 14 passes in 2021 for South Carolina and tested well at the combine, especially on the jumps. Light at 180 pounds, there is some question as to whether he'll be able to match up against bigger receivers.
