Jaylen Waddle Injury News
View AllJaylen Waddle Leaves Practice Early, but Don't Panic
Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle left Wednesday's practice early with an apparent lower-body injury and did not return. HC Sean Payton said the receiver is "expected to be fine," according to Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com. He attributed the issue to "muscle tightness."
Tyreek Hill Misses Friday’s Practice With Oblique Injury
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill missed his third consecutive practice on Friday due to an oblique injury, according to David Furones of Sun Sentinel.
Tua Tagovailoa Back For Week 8?
There's a "real possibility" that Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is back for the Week 8 game against the Cardinals, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. That's when he's first eligible to come off IR after his latest concussion. Tagovailoa is reportedly symptom-free and has no plans to retire. RB De'Von Achane, WR Tyreek Hill, and WR Jaylen Waddle need Tua back to save their seasons. There's still no guarantee that Tagovailoa makes it back (or stays on the field if he does), but it's not a bad idea to make buy-low offers for Miami's skill guys right now.
