Dolphins first-round draft pick Ted Ginn Jr. meets the media at team headquarters on Sunday.
The Dolphins are not concerned about Ted Ginn Jr.'s midfoot sprain that has nagged him since January and will keep him out of the team's minicamp.
But questions about the injury remain.
ESPN.com reported Sunday that Ginn Jr. would be in a boot for six weeks and then require a six-week rehabilitation.
The Dolphins denied that report and Ginn Jr. was in dress shoes when he met with the media Sunday morning.
But Ginn Jr., Miami's first-round pick (ninth overall), was vague about his status beyond missing the minicamp.
''It's up to the training staff and we're going to put the plan together,'' Ginn Jr. said when asked if he would be ready for the start of training camp in July. ``I hope I will be able to be there Day 1.''
Pressed for a guarantee, Ginn Jr. couldn't go further.
''I don't know,'' he said. ``It's whatever the training staff says.''
The Dolphins are confident Ginn Jr. will be ready for training camp.
''At no point in time, did we feel he wouldn't be ready for training camp,'' coach Cam Cameron
