It’s been a lengthy rehabilitation process from injury for Miami Dolphins receiver Brandon Gibson. His 2013 season took an unexpected turn in Week 8 when he landed awkwardly on his left knee against the New England Patriots. Gibson, who only missed three games from 2010-2012, tore his patellar tendon and was done for the season.

Miami receiver Brandon Gibson isn't sure what his role will be as he returns from injury.

Before the injury Gibson was off to a fast start and had five receptions or more in four of his seven games with the Dolphins. He was quickly developing a rapport as a dependable safety valve for Miami quarterback Ryan Tannehill. However, Gibson was forced to watch from the sideline for the final nine games as the Dolphins faltered down the stretch and missed the playoffs for the fifth consecutive season.

I caught up with Gibson over the weekend to get his thoughts on rehab and the Dolphins.

“It was just frustrating from the fact that I really wanted to help the team,” Gibson said in a telephone interview. “Watching from the sideline, upstairs from the box and from my coach I felt helpless. I’ve learned a lot as far as patience. It was a humbling experience, and I just really value to chance to play football again. I think it’s incredible.”

Gibson was cautious to provide a specific date on his recovery. But the receiver said he "definitely" expects to be ready by Week 1 of the regular season.

Good. I'm really hoping for his return. Could be great for the team
 
I hope he comes back 100%, you can tell he was hitting his stride right before he got hurt.
 
All I heard before now is how the injury isn't as bad as an ACL, but the fact that him being ready by opening day was mentioned is both weird and scary to me.

We need him for training camp. I loved the chemistry he and Ryan had going.
 
Good kid, and teammate. Go back and watch the play again. He was wide open and Tannehill had to rush a throw and
Gibson tried to make sure it wasn't intercepted. A real shame. I am hopeful for a full recovery soon.
 
He did a nice job last year.

I know this sounds really stupid, but the Fins game at Foxboro changed when Gibson went out. The Pats had no answer for Gibson. Yes, the Wallace drop, sack of RT and subsequent missed FG by Sturgis is the ultimate momentum breaker. However, Gibson was a stud in that game.
 
Gibson was our best receiver last year before he went down. The way he battled for extra yards and his nose for the endzone was something our wr's lacked at the end of the year.

And that dive where he got helicopter flipped into the endzone and landed on his feet was sick. He was way better than I think people expected him to be.
 
LOL @ those who thought we would miss Bess.. Gibson has been and always will be a better receiver.
 
good because he was our most consistent wr in the slot before injury, who knows wed probably be in plaoffs if he never got injured
 
Yeah we seem to have mostly forgot just how big that injury was. He was our TD guy. When he went down the offense got much worse for sure.

I think if Gibson, Keller, and Binns would have all stayed healthy last year could have been a much different season. And that is saying a lot after the mess the OL went through.
 
Sucks that he was injured just as him and Tannehill were connection. I love Matthews also. He's beginning to step up. I'm completely comfortable with what we have now.
