Caleb Douglas appeared in an NFL game for the first time on Sunday. He and Chris Bell started at wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins in the opener against the Las Vegas Raiders. Douglas struggled early. Later, Malik Willis connected with him for a 25-yard gain. The Dolphins held their most experienced receiver back for the opener. That left the receiving duties to a young group. The team fielded a young group at receiver. That group generated interest as potential waiver-wire pickups before the game. The young group took center stage. Analysts also said the trio could make history among rookie wideouts. Douglas's only reception was recorded for 25 yards.
