Waddle (back) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Waddle has had his reps capped in both of the Dolphins' first two Week 8 practices, but if he's able to upgrade to full activity Friday, he should head into Sunday's game against the Patriots without an injury designation. Since missing the Dolphins' Week 3 win over Denver while recovering from a concussion, Waddle has suited up in each of Miami's last four games and is averaging 5.5 catches for 48.8 yards on 7.5 targets during that stretch.
