That’s considered good news after he went down and underwent tests</p>— Jeremy Fowler (@JFowlerESPN) <a href="https://twitter.com/JFowlerESPN/status/1428688621125738496?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 20, 2021</a> </blockquote> </div> <p id="7n625s">As you may recall, the Miami Dolphins traded a fourth-round pick to the <a href="https://www.silverandblackpride.com/">Las Vegas Raiders</a> for Lynn Bowden a year ago. As a rookie, the former Kentucky Wildcat caught 28/37 targets for 211 yards. However, with northward of 14 wide receivers currently on the roster and a new one being signed or brought in for a workout every day, some have speculated that LBJ could be on the way out if he doesn’t perform well this preseason.</p> <p id="1zaFgX">Being injured and unable to play would definitely complicate things. </p> <p id="rdlVow"><em>Here’s a look at every target from Lynn Bowden’s rookie season</em></p> <div id="r96h5A"><div style="width: 100%;height: 0;padding-bottom: 56.25%"></div></div> <p id="5GbKzs">The first few weeks were quiet for Lynn Bowden. I now pray this injury doesn’t sideline him too long, forcing the team’s hand. Because as I’ve repeated time and time, I believe Lynn Bowden can be a dynamic player in the NFL. </p> <p id="RjAb6d"><em>Do you think Lynn Bowden will make the opening day roster? Could this injury allow the Dolphins to keep him around on the PUP list? Which player are you most excited to see step up in his absence? Kirk Merritt? Mack Hollins?
