Caleb Douglas played his first NFL game on Sunday. He and Chris Bell started at wide receiver 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 left their most seasoned receiver off the opener lineup. That left the receiving duties to a young group. The team used a youthful receiving group. That group drew attention as possible waiver-wire adds before the game. The young group faced extra attention. Analysts also said the trio could make history among rookie wideouts. Douglas's only reception counted in the stat sheet for 25 yards.
