The Facts:
Ginn acknowledged today he will spend at least the next month in a protective boot. The right foot sprain he suffered in January reportedly could keep him out a total of three months. ESPN.com reported late Saturday night that Ginn would be in a boot for six weeks and then face another six weeks of rehab. That timetable wouldn't put Ginn at full strength until right before training camp in late July.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
GM Randy Mueller said the team doesn't yet know its plan for Ginn's recovery. However, it seems unlikely the Dolphins would spend the ninth overall pick on an injured player known for his speed and not have a rehab schedule laid out ahead of time. That said, Ginn wasn't making any promises today. Asked uf 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 couldn't go further. "I don't know," he said. "It's whatever the training staff says. ..." Ginn has tremendous speed (4.3) when healthy. But he hasn't played since he returned the opening kickoff of the BCS Championship Game against the University of Florida on Jan. 8 and current speculations puts him at 80 to 85 percent healthy.
