    Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports that Carroo will have surgery to clean up loose bodies in his knee and miss the team’s three-day minicamp next week as a result.

    Carroo is expected to be ready to go for training camp this summer and many veterans wouldn’t be too impacted by missing a portion of the offseason schedule. Carroo isn’t in the strongest position heading into camp, however.

    The 2016 third-round pick has played 264 offensive snaps and caught 10 passes over his first two seasons and is behind Danny Amendola, DeVante Parker, Kenny Stills and Albert Wilson on the depth chart in Miami.

    Hot take: Caroo doesn't play another down as a Dolphin.

    Does the preseason count?

    I was a bit surprised when they made the move. Didn't think it was necessary considering our needs at that time. Not a career ender for Grier, but one I'm sure he would like to have back.

    Preseason never counts (in my personal record book)

    Why don’t these cleanups happen the week after the season is over? Why does it seem players wait till OTA and training camp to clean up things?

    They may break loose or start to irritate after they start working in prep for OTA's

    :)

    Keep him around for camp and one last chance to show something in the preseason games, but unless he turns into a core Special Teams player, I don't see him making the final roster this year.

    Go on then, I'll take Carroo is still a Dolphin come the start of the season and plays snaps for the team again. No reasoning to back it up but I mean someone has to take it.

    I don't see anyway this guy makes the team...unless there is an injury. But even then, I think Ford or that kid from Arkansas is going to be ahead of him. He reminds me of Derek Hagan...he had all kinds of talent in college, put up crazy stats...but couldn't cut it in the NFL.

    does anyone have the draft value chart? What's his value compared to DVP? considering it was what, a 3rd round pick, and traded a 4? and 6?

    Sounds to me like he had bern fairly inactive, and only noticed the loose bodies after a burst of activity at OTAs.

    What do you mean doesn't play another down, wouldn't you have to play one down first before playing another....

    While not a star or a starter Derek Hagan had an above average length career

    It's a shame we wasted the draft pick on him I thought he would work out.

    And Carroo might as well. But Hagan wasn't anything close to living up to his college production. Had like 50 catches with the Fins in 2 plus seasons. Better than Carroo, but with his college production, you would have thought he would have been a 60 catch guy per year. Wasn't close.

    I did too. His Rutger highlights showed an Alpha Male...fighting for the ball and while not blazing fast, wasn't often caught from behind, and amazing hands. Scored a boatload of TDs. Came to the Fins and wussed out. Very disappointing.

    Yeah, I feel like the receiving corp is pretty much locked up at this point.

    Parker, Stills, Amendola, Wilson are sure things

    Grant looked really solid at the end of last year and has special teams value, so I think he has the edge at number 5. I think that the only way that he doesn't make the roster is if one of the younger guys vastly outplays him.

    My guess is that we try and stash Morgan, Scott (not sure if he is still eligible) or Ford on the practice squad. Here is the rub though, I think that if there were an injury, one of those practice quad guys could come up and see more playing time than Grant. Grant's size limits his ceiling as a player. He has all the potential in the world to carve out a nice role on the team, but his physical limitations would hurt him if he was asked to play beyond just a role.

    I think watching the practice squad is worthwhile.

    He has scored at least one TD in an NFL game.

    The Derek Hagan comp is interesting. Both struggle to separate which is why caroos vertical release and stem is so important to his game.

    He has the strength to get physical at the top of the route and to use his body and vice grip hands to do dirty work.

    Might not have the iq however to be trusted on option routes and with coverage ids.

    Carroo to me struggles to gain separation at the line, in college he did all this fancy crap with his hands/wasted motion.
