The Dolphins had a significant injury scare in practice this week, as wide receiver Jaylen Waddle went down with an injury to his midsection. However, it appears that the third-year wideout will be “fine” and avoided a much more serious injury.
After Miami’s preseason game vs. the Falcons on Friday, coach Mike McDaniel explained that Waddle’s offseason has been strong-enough where he can take some time to heal.
“He’s banked enough quality reps that I’m not really worried about his participation within the offense,” McDaniel said. “Fortunate that it is not something that will be a long-term deal. He’s steadily rehabbing and working with the trainers.”
