Dolphins Expect Jaylen Waddle to Play in Week 8 After Hamstring Downgrade

The final injury report Friday will determine his designation for the Falcons game.

Overview

  • Waddle was added to the injury report Thursday with two hamstring issues and was limited after practicing fully Wednesday.
  • Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Waddle is expected to play through the tweaks, with official status pending.
  • ESPN’s Marcel Louis-Jacques noted the downgrade on Thursday’s report following the Week 7 loss in Cleveland.
  • Waddle has operated as Miami’s top receiver since Tyreek Hill’s season-ending ACL injury, with 30 catches for 405 yards and three touchdowns through seven games.
  • Miami’s receiving depth is thin with Darren Waller recently placed on injured reserve, increasing the stakes of Waddle’s availability against Atlanta on Oct. 26 at 1 p.m. ET.
