Caleb Douglas made his NFL debut on Sunday. He and Chris Bell were the starting wideouts for the Miami Dolphins in the opener 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 used a youthful receiving group. That group drew attention as possible waiver-wire adds before the game. The young group was in the spotlight. Analysts suggested the group could stand out as rookie receivers. Douglas's only reception went on the books for 25 yards.
