MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Miami Dolphins cornerback Cam Smith will be placed on the non-football injury list, general manager Chris Grier said Wednesday.

The third-year cornerback played in only six games last season, in part due to injury. Smith entered this year's training camp in an open competition for one of the two starting cornerback jobs.

He suffered an injury during the first week of camp, however, and fell behind on the depth chart. Grier did not offer a timetable for Smith's return.

"With NFI, we don't really talk about what's going on [publicly]," Grier said. "Cam has played some of his best ball the last two weeks, he's been really good, so we'll see what happens. We'll work through it, and then we'll see what happens down the road."
