Waddle is set to undergo further evaluation Monday after exiting Sunday's 22-20 win over the Cowboys in the third quarter with a shin injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The fact that the wideout wasn't able to check back into a closely contested game despite being listed as questionable to return is a discouraging sign. Before exiting the game, Waddle hauled in one of four targets for 50 yards over 28 snaps, with his production taking a noticeable hit from the week prior (season-high 142 receiving yards on eight catches) following the return of No. 1 wideout Tyreek Hill from an ankle injury. Even if Waddle's evaluation reveals no significant injury, his practice activity could be limited during the week in an effort to make sure he's available for a Week 17 contest in Baltimore.
