Caleb Douglas played his first NFL game on Sunday. He and Chris Bell started at wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins in the opener against the Las Vegas Raiders. Douglas had a rough start. Later, Malik Willis found him for a 25-yard gain. The Dolphins kept their most veteran receiver out of the opener. That left the receiving duties to a young group. The team used a youthful receiving group. That group was seen as a likely waiver-wire target prior to kickoff. The young group was in the spotlight. Analysts said the rookie group might set a mark as rookie receivers. Douglas's only reception went on the books for 25 yards.
