Caleb Douglas played his first NFL game on Sunday. He and Chris Bell started at wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins in the season opener against the Las Vegas Raiders. Douglas looked shaky at first. Later, Malik Willis got the ball to him for a 25-yard gain. The Dolphins held their most experienced receiver back for the opener. That gave the receiving roles to a youthful unit. The team fielded a young group at receiver. That group drew attention as possible waiver-wire adds before the game. The young group took center stage. Analysts said the rookie group might set a mark in a rookie receiving class. Douglas's only reception went on the books for 25 yards.
