Caleb Douglas appeared in an NFL game for the first time on Sunday. He and Chris Bell were the starting wideouts for the Miami Dolphins at the start of the season against the Las Vegas Raiders. Douglas looked shaky at first. Later, Malik Willis connected with him for a 25-yard gain. The Dolphins kept their most veteran receiver out of the opener. That put the receiving work in young hands. The team went with an unproven receiving corps. That group was seen as a likely waiver-wire target prior to kickoff. The young group took center stage. Analysts suggested the group could stand out in a rookie receiving class. Douglas's only reception counted in the stat sheet for 25 yards.
