Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday that Waddle (abdomen) won't participate in joint practices with the Texans this week, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
McDaniel tempered concerns by saying that Waddle wants to practice, but the team has decided to be cautious with the wideout, per Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site. Still, fantasy managers will be anxious to see the third-year wideout back as a full practice participant soon, with just under a month remaining before the Sept. 10 season opener against the Chargers. Waddle is dealing with an abdomen injury sustained in practices last week, and he looks likely to sit out the Dolphins' upcoming preseason game Saturday in Houston.
