The Miami Dolphins are navigating mandatory minicamp this week without one of their most prominent defensive stars.
Jalen Ramsey remains absent from practice, though his absence comes with official backing from the organization.
Since April, the Dolphins and Ramsey have been exploring potential trade scenarios, prompting head coach Mike McDaniel to excuse the cornerback from team activities during ongoing discussions.
While Ramsey stays away from the practice field, he made headlines for an entirely different reason.
Dov Kleiman shared details about the All-Pro defender’s latest venture into body art.
“Insane: All-Pro CB Jalen Ramsey went under anesthesia for a crazy full-leg sleeve tattoo that is themed around his love for himself and his accomplishments… Ramsey is ready for a new beginning this upcoming season,” Kleiman noted.

The elaborate tattoo session required anesthesia due to its extensive nature and intricate design.
Ramsey commissioned a full-leg sleeve that chronicles his football journey from college through his professional career.
The artwork serves as a permanent tribute to his achievements and experiences across multiple NFL franchises.
Grailed Gallery in Los Angeles handled the detailed work, creating pieces that represent significant moments throughout Ramsey’s career.
The sleeve captures everything from his Florida State days through his draft selection and subsequent stops with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Los Angeles Rams, and Miami Dolphins.
The decision to undergo anesthesia highlights the session’s intensity and duration.
This comprehensive tattoo project represents far more than typical body art.
Each element tells part of Ramsey’s story, reflecting the confidence and bold personality that have defined his career both on and off the field.
