Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle left practice early yesterday with a left leg injury (“muscle tightness” according to HC Sean Payton). The good news is that Waddle was on the sideline during practice today in a jersey and shorts. But, Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports recorded a video of the bad news. Waddle had his left leg in a sleeve and was walking with a slight limp. The injury could still be minor, but it gives us some useful information.

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."

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (ribs) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Patriots. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. We're expecting Waddle to suit up on Sunday, but the rib injury and a meaningless game for Miami adds obvious risk to his fantasy profile. He finished catch-less on a 26% snap rate last week.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (ribs) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. That should have him on track to play vs. the Patriots this weekend, but we'll see how Waddle is listed on Friday's final injury report.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle suffered a rib injury in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Buccaneers and is officially questionable to return. We'll update his status when we know more.

Update: Waddle returned for the second half but appeared to play sparingly. He finished catch-less on one target.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (hamstring/rest) is off the final injury report. He was added on Thursday and limited in practice but put in a full workout on Friday. Waddle should be ready for his usual role in this weekend’s game vs. the Falcons.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle was added to the injury report on Thursday, limited in practice, and listed with "hamstrings/rest." We're guessing he's dealing with hamstring soreness more than an injury -- but it's concerning nonetheless. We'll see what Waddle does in Friday's practice and how he's listed on the final injury report for this weekend's game vs. the Falcons.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill is believed to have suffered a dislocated knee in Monday night's game vs. the Jets, according to multiple reports. He was transported from the stadium to the hospital to confirm that diagnosis and start getting treatment. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport notes that this injury "often comes with multiple ligament tears." Hill's 2025 season is over, and it's fair to wonder about his football career. He turns 32 in March.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill suffered a gruesome left knee injury in the third quarter of Monday night's game vs. the Jets. Trainers rushed to stabilize the knee in an air cast before Hill was carted off the field. This looks like a season-ending injury, but we'll update Hill's status when we know more. It's a huge loss for the Dolphins offense and will open up considerable target opportunity for WRs Jaylen Waddle, Malik Washington, and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, TE Darren Waller, and RB De'Von Achane.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the Bills. He was not listed on the injury report on Monday, but he was added on Tuesday and limited in the final two practices of the week. It's possible that Waddle aggravated the shoulder injury he suffered in Week 1. We'll look for further updates on his status and get Miami's inactives around 7 pm ET on Thursday.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle suffered an apparent left shoulder injury in the third quarter of Sunday's opener vs. the Colts. He was in obvious discomfort as he worked his way off the field. We'll update Waddle's status when we know more.

Update: Waddle returned on Miami's next possession.

Dolphins TE Darren Waller had a setback with his hip injury before Thursday's practice and is "doubtful" to play vs. the Colts this weekend, HC Mike McDaniel said Friday. It's an inauspicious start for Waller, who came out of retirement to join the Fins in early July. He's not worth rostering outside of the deepest of fantasy leagues. Waller's absence in the opener will just mean more targets for WRs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle and RB De'Von Achane. Julian Hill and Tanner Conner will handle TE duties for Miami.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill missed his third consecutive practice on Friday due to an oblique injury, according to David Furones of Sun Sentinel.

Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel said Wednesday that the team is preparing QB Tyler Huntley to start this weekend's game vs. the Jets. QB Tua Tagovailoa will be limited in practice on Wednesday with his hip injury, and it sounds like he hasn't been ruled out for Week 18 yet. But fantasy owners should be planning as if it'll be Huntley under center again for now. He played well in the Week 17 win over the Browns, completing 22 of 26 passes (85%) for 225 yards (8.7 YPA) and one TD, adding another 52 yards and a score on the ground. Just as importantly, the Dolphins stayed pass-heavy, registering a +11% pass rate over expected. That makes it easier to trust guys like WR Tyreek Hill and TE Jonnu Smith in Week 18 fantasy lineups, although Huntley is still a downgrade from Tagovailoa.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (knee) returned to a limited practice on Thursday -- his first since going down in Week 15. That gives Waddle a chance to play against the Browns this weekend. We'll see what he does in Friday's practice and how he's listed on the final injury report.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle's status for this weekend's game vs. the 49ers is uncertain, HC Mike McDaniel said Monday. Waddle suffered a knee injury in the Week 15 loss to the Texans. It's not considered major and won't require surgery, McDaniel said, adding that Waddle is "day-to-day." We'll keep tabs on his practice participation this week, but fantasy owners should be making other plans for Week 16.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle suffered an apparent ankle injury when he got rolled up on in the second quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Texans. He hobbled off the field and into the medical tent. We'll update Waddle's status when we know more.

Update: Waddle is officially questionable to return with a knee injury.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (wrist) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game vs. the Rams. He was added to the injury report on Friday and missed the final two practices of the week.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) has no plans to retire, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. We passed along earlier that Tagovailoa is meeting with neurologists about his latest concussion, and it sounds like he'll be doing so to formulate a plan to get back on the field. Rapoport confirms, though, that there's currently no timeline for Tagovailoa's return. It took him over a month to clear the protocol the last time he suffered a concussion back in 2022. Expect Tua to miss multiple games with his latest head injury.

The Dolphins are set to sign WR Odell Beckham, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The Miami Herald's Barry Jackson reports that Beckham is getting a $3 million base salary with another $5 million available in incentives. The 31-year-old was a part-time player for the Ravens last year, catching just 35 balls across 14 regular season games. But Beckham still flashed big-play pop, averaging a career-high 16.1 yards per catch on a 13.9-yard average target depth. He ranked 27th among 93 qualifiers in Pro Football Focus' receiving grades. Beckham will sit behind WRs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle in Miami and is unlikely to be a reliable fantasy play if those guys are healthy. But an injury to either could turn Beckham into a potential fantasy spot starter.
