    Alabama team doctor E. Lyle Cain Jr., who performed top NFL draft prospect Dee Milliner's shoulder surgery, said it was a "relatively small labral tear" and the Alabama cornerback should be ready for training camp.

    "I saw him last week (April 20) at the Alabama spring game," Cain said. "He was doing well in his rehab, all of his motion was back, his strength has come back, he looks ... if any doctor examined him right now, they'll think he has a normal shoulder."

    Milliner currently is the top-ranked cornerback on the NFL.com's draft tracker. Milliner suffered the labrum injury during his final season at Alabama and played through it during the Crimson Tide's title run. He held off surgery until after the NFL Scouting Combine, where he performed every drill except for the bench press.

    "We talked about (getting surgery) before the combine and I gave him the timetable," Cain said. "He wanted to show people he could run and to him, running the time that he ran, it was a huge factor for him. Teams talking to him, examined him, they know the shoulder is not going to be a problem."

    Sweet deal.
    Now the Dolphins can pick him up if they don't go for Rhodes.
