• Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: One catch against Jags

  Rotowire Aug 23, 2025

  Waddle recorded one catch on one target for eight yards in Saturday's 14-6 preseason win over the Jaguars. Waddle played along with most of Miami's healthy starting offensive unit and was on the field for three possessions. He made his lone catch on the final drive on a pass delivered by Tua Tagovailoa, and Waddle will now turn his focus toward a Week 1 matchup against the Colts.

• Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Suited up for Saturday's contest

  Rotowire Aug 23, 2025

  Waddle is in uniform ahead of Saturday's preseason game versus the Jaguars, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports. Waddle has yet to play during exhibition season, first due to an undisclosed injury in the first contest and then because most of the Dolphins' key players were held out last Saturday. This will mark Waddle's first game action with QB Tua Tagovailoa since last season, when the wide receiver failed to reach 1,000 receiving yards for the first time in his four-year career.

• Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Not in line to play Saturday

  Rotowire Aug 15, 2025

  Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said Friday he doesn't plan to play the starters, including Waddle, during Saturday's preseason game against the Lions, Tom D'Angelo of the Palm Beach Post reports. Waddle sat out Miami's preseason opener due to a collision that occurred during joint practices with the Bears, but he returned to practice this week and has participated in team drills against Detroit. He'll need to wait until the Dolphins' preseason finale against the Jaguars on Sat., Aug. 23, however, for a chance to see exhibition reps. Meanwhile, Tyreek Hill (oblique) has not yet returned to practice.

• Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Gets back on practice field

  Rotowire Aug 13, 2025

  Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday that Waddle (undisclosed) will retake the field for joint practices against the Lions, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Waddle continues to recover from a collision suffered during joint practices with the Bears last week, which forced him to miss Miami's preseason opener, so it's encouraging to see him back on the field for joint sessions against Detroit. McDaniel confirmed that Waddle and Tyreek Hill (oblique) both remain "day-to-day," however, so it seems like the pair of starting wideouts will be limited in some capacity while returning to practice. Saturday's road game against Detroit represents Waddle's next opportunity to get on the field for exhibition reps.

• Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Labeled day-to-day

  Rotowire Aug 12, 2025

  Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Tuesday that Waddle (undisclosed) and fellow starting wideout Tyreek Hill (oblique) are both day-to-day, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports. McDaniel said a decision hasn't yet been made on the status of the duo for joint practices against the Lions this week, but that "they're definitely in the conversation" to get reps, per David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel. As a result of seemingly minor injuries, both Waddle and Hill sat out Sunday's preseason debut against the Bears, but it sounds like each has a fair chance to get healthy in time for exhibition action Saturday versus Detroit.

• Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Has minor injury

  Rotowire Aug 10, 2025

  Head coach Mike McDaniel said after Sunday's 24-24 preseason tie against the Bears that Waddle (undisclosed) was held out because McDaniel didn't want starters playing through any minor injuries, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. McDaniel's statement implies that Waddle is currently working through a minor health concern. Waddle's participation in practice will bear monitoring ahead of the team's next preseason game against the Lions on Saturday, though the starting wide receiver is unlikely to face a lengthy absence.

• Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Unlikely to play vs. Chicago

  Rotowire Aug 10, 2025

  Based on pregame warmups, Waddle is not in line to play against the Bears in Sunday's preseason opener, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Waddle and Tyreek Hill (oblique) are in street clothes during warmups. It appears Tua Tagovailoa will be without his top two pass catchers, which means Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Malik Washington, Dee Eskridge and Tahj Washington should see more snaps on offense. Waddle's next chance to play will be Saturday against the Lions.

• Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Gains 50 yards Sunday

  Rotowire Jan 5, 2025

  Waddle (knee) brought in four of nine targets for 44 yards while taking his lone carry for six yards in Sunday's 32-20 loss to the Jets. Waddle successfully returned from a knee injury Sunday that cost him two weeks of game action. The star wideout had mixed results, catching just 44 percent of his targets for 44 yards. The lack of efficiency can be explained by possibly playing at less than 100 percent, in addition to the poor quarterback play of backup Tyler Huntley with Tua Tagovailoa (hip) sitting this one out. Waddle posted the worst receiving line of his professional career in 2024, finishing with 58 receptions for 744 yards and two touchdowns across 15 games played. With news of Tyreek Hill wanting out of Miami following Sunday's ugly defeat, Waddle could be in store for a huge jump in usage in 2025 if that scenario plays out.

• Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Active versus Jets

  Rotowire Jan 5, 2025

  Waddle (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jets. Waddle, who missed Miami's last two games, practiced fully Friday before approaching Week 18 action listed as questionable. In his return to action, Waddle will combine with Tyreek Hill to give QB Tyler Huntley (starting once again in place of Tua Tagovailoa/hip) a pair of quality wideout options in Miami's must-win regular-season finale. In 14 games thus far, Waddle has put up a 54/700/2 receiving line on 74 targets.

• Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Questionable but likely to play

  Rotowire Jan 3, 2025

  Waddle (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports, but coach Mike McDaniel expressed optimism to Furones on Friday regarding Waddle's availability. McDaniel's optimism is supported by Waddle practicing without limitations Friday. Waddle's looking to return from a two-game absence for a Dolphins team that can sneak into the playoffs with a win and a Broncos loss to the Chiefs. If Waddle suits up, he'll likely be catching passes from backup quarterback Tyler Huntley, as Tua Tagovailoa (hip) is considered doubtful.

• Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Another limited practice

  Rotowire Jan 2, 2025

  Waddle (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports. Per Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post, Waddle, who has missed two straight games, appeared to be moving pretty well at practice Thursday. However, Waddle probably will need to practice fully Friday -- as fellow WR Tyreek Hill (wrist/rest) did Thursday -- in order to approach Sunday's must-win regular-season finale against the Jets without an injury designation.

• Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Inactive Sunday

  Rotowire Dec 29, 2024

  Waddle (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns. After being listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, Waddle logged limited sessions both Thursday and Friday before being deemed questionable for Sunday's contest. With Waddle, who was also inactive last weekend, still sidelined, Tyreek Hill and Malik Washington are slated to lead a Week 17 Miami wideout corps that also includes River Cracraft and Dee Eskridge. Waddle's next chance to return to action will arrive next weekend against the Jets.

• Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Returns to limited practice

  Rotowire Dec 26, 2024

  Waddle (knee) was limited at practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Waddle, who was sidelined for this past weekend's win over the 49ers, was deemed a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, but his return to a limited session a day later offers hope that he could return to action Sunday against the Browns. Also limited Thursday was Tyreek Hill (wrist/rest), with added context regarding the duo's Week 17 statuses set to arrive via Friday's final injury report.

• Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Sits out practice Wednesday

  Rotowire Dec 25, 2024

  Waddle (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Waddle, who was inactive for this past weekend's win over the 49ers, thus has two more chances to practice in some fashion ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns. If the wideout remains out in Week 17, Malik Washington would once again be in line to see added opportunities in Miami's passing offense.

• Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Inactive Sunday

  Rotowire Dec 22, 2024

  Waddle (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers. With Waddle and Dee Eskridge (knee) both inactive, Tyreek Hill and Malik Washington are in line to lead Miami's Week 16 wideout corps, while River Cracraft and Erik Ezukanma are also available to mix in. Waddle sustained the knee injury that will sideline him Sunday during Week 15 action, and he'll now target a potential return to action next Sunday against the Browns.

• Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Doubtful for Week 16

  Rotowire Dec 20, 2024

  Fellow wideout Tyreek Hill (wrist/personal) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, while Waddle (knee) is doubtful for the contest, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports. With Waddle -- who didn't practice this week -- as well as Dee Eskridge (knee, doubtful) trending toward being out this weekend and Hill's status now uncertain, Malik Washington and River Cracraft currently are the healthiest wideout options that Miami currently rosters. Considering that, practice-squad members Tarik Black, Erik Ezukanma and Isaiah McKenzie are candidates to be elevated ahead of Week 16 action.

• Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Doubtful for Sunday

  Rotowire Dec 20, 2024

  Head coach Mike McDaniel relayed Friday that Waddle (knee) will be listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports. With Waddle trending toward being unavailable for Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, it appears as though Malik Washington is poised to see an expanded workload alongside top wideout Tyreek Hill (wrist/personal, questionable) in Week 16. Waddle was forced out of the Dolphins' loss to the Texans last Sunday after logging 26 snaps and zero catches on two targets.

• Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Not seen early on at practice Friday

  Rotowire Dec 20, 2024

  Waddle (knee) wasn't spotted during the brief media-access portion of Friday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Waddle didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, so at this stage his status for Sunday's game against the 49ers is cloudy. If Waddle is unavailable Week 16, Malik Washington would be in line to see an expanded role in Miami's passing offense alongside top WR Tyreek Hill.

• Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Misses another practice

  Rotowire Dec 19, 2024

  Waddle (knee) didn't practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Waddle also missed practice Wednesday, which sets the stage for Friday's session to loom large in terms of the wideout's chances of playing Sunday against the 49ers. If Waddle -- who head coach Mike McDaniel has called day-to-day -- is unavailable this weekend, Malik Washington would be in line to see an expanded role behind top WR Tyreek Hill.
