Darren Waller Darren Waller Questionable, still on IR
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 2:45 PM
Waller (pectoral) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Analysis: Miami designated Waller for return from injured reserve Wednesday, after which he cobbled together three straight limited practices. Per David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, coach Mike McDaniel said Friday regarding Waller's chances to suit up this weekend that "if there's not a setback, I'm feeling optimistic." The Dolphins will need to activate Waller from IR by Saturday afternoon for him to have a chance to be active for Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. |

Darren Waller Darren Waller Could return this week
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 10:52 AM
Coach Mike McDaniel noted Friday that Waller (pectoral) is "in play" to return to action Sunday against the Saints, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: At this stage, McDaniel indicated that he's optimistic about the tight end's Week 13 status but acknowledged that whether the Dolphins elect to activate Waller of IR is dependent on how things go for him in Friday's practice. Waller has logged back-to-back limited sessions since having his 21-day practice window opened. |

Jaylen Waddle Jaylen Waddle Resumes practicing in full
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 2:54 PM
Waddle (foot) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Waddle emerged from Miami's bye with a foot injury that caused him to be limited in practice Wednesday, but he can now be considered fully on track for Sunday's game against the Saints. Meanwhile, tight end Darren Waller (pectoral) has logged back-to-back limited sessions since having his 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, making him a tentative candidate to get back on the field Week 13. Whenever Waller is able to return to the lineup, his ability to command attention from opposing defense could open things up for Waddle, who has been clearly entrenched as the No. 1 wideout for Miami since Tyreek Hill (ACL) suffered a season-ending injury Week 4. |

Dee Eskridge Dee Eskridge Full participant in practice
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 6:52 PM
Eskridge (shoulder) was a full participant in Miami's practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Eskridge is healthy again after having missed the last two games with a shoulder injury. The 28-year-old should resume his role as one of the team's kick returners during Sunday's matchup versus the Saints. |

Darren Waller Darren Waller Limited in return to practice
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 3:54 PM
Waller (pectoral) has had his 21-day practice window opened and was a limited participant in Wednesday's session, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Waller is practicing for the first time since suffering a pectoral injury Week 7 versus the Browns and being placed on IR. While it's possible the veteran tight end could gain clearance to retake the field as early as Sunday's contest against the Saints, he may first need to prove an ability to handle full practice reps. Once back in action, Waller will join Jaylen Waddle (foot), Malik Washington and RB De'Von Achane as one of the Dolphins' top options in the passing game. In the event that Waller misses any more time, Greg Dulcich will continue to operate as Miami's top pass-catching tight end. |

Jaylen Waddle Jaylen Waddle Emerges from bye with foot injury
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 3:46 PM
Waddle (foot) was limited in practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Waddle previously managed a shoulder injury in September and a hamstring issue in October, but Wednesday's practice report is the first time this season he's been listed with a foot issue. So far, those injuries haven't prevented the 27-year-old wideout from suiting up for all 11 of Miami's regular-season games, in which span he's racked up a 49-722-5 receiving line on 73 targets. As long as Waddle is able to maintain at least limited activity during the Dolphins' remaining two practices of Week 13, it will bode well for his chances of suiting up Sunday versus the Saints. |

Darren Waller Darren Waller Will return to practice Wednesday
Mon, Nov 24, 2025, 10:19 AM
Coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Waller (pectoral) will be designated for return from injured reserve Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Waller suffered a pectoral injury Week 7 against the Browns but appears to be nearing a return to action, as Wednesday's activation will open his 21-day practice window. He's appeared in just four games this season, producing a 10-117-4 line on 12 targets as a red-zone presence for the Dolphins. Greg Dulcich and Julian Hill have been Miami's top tight-end options in Waller's absence. |

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Held without a target Week 11
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 8:53 AM
Westbrook-Ikhine was not targeted during Miami's 16-13 overtime win over the Commanders in Madrid on Sunday.
Analysis: Westbrook-Ikhine played just 27 percent of offensive snaps versus Washington, his lowest total since Week 3. While Westbrook-Ikhine hasn't offered any notable fantasy value all season as he hasn't yet scored or surpassed 25 receiving yards in a game, this decline in usage effectively puts him off the radar even in the deepest of formats. After the Dolphins emerge from a Week 12 bye to face the Saints in Week 13, expect Malik Washington to remain solidified as the team's clear No. 2 wideout behind Jaylen Waddle. |

Greg Dulcich Greg Dulcich Hauls in two of four targets
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 9:48 PM
Dulcich secured two of four targets for 18 yards during Sunday's 16-13 overtime win over the Commanders in Madrid.
Analysis: Dulcich saw the majority of receiving opportunities at the tight end position go his way again despite the return of Julian Hill (ankle) from his three-week absence. After Miami's bye in Week 12, Dulcich will figure to reprise a similar role versus the Saints on Sunday, Nov. 30 in Week 13, unless Darren Waller (pectoral) manages to come off IR before then. Dulcich has now drawn at least four targets in three consecutive games, a development that's renewed the 25-year-old's fantasy relevance, especially in dynasty formats. |

Julian Hill Julian Hill Held to one catch in Week 11 win
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 9:43 PM
Hill secured his only target for 14 yards during Sunday's 16-13 win over Washington in Madrid.
Analysis: Hill returned to action Week 11 after having missed Miami's prior three games due to a lingering ankle injury, though he contributed mostly as a blocker while Greg Dulcich (two catches for 18 yards on four targets) handled the majority of pass-catching opportunities at tight end. The Dolphins will go on bye Week 12, and with Darren Waller (pectoral) still expected to return from IR this season, there are no guarantees Hill will face much in the way of significant receiving opportunities Week 13 versus the Saints. |

Jaylen Wright Jaylen Wright Logs one carry in OT win
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 9:36 PM
Wright rushed once for four yards during Miami's 16-13 overtime win over the Commanders in Madrid on Sunday.
Analysis: Wright worked behind standout De'Vone Achane (172 yards from scrimmage) as well as Ollie Gordon (nine carries for 45 yards and one score) again Sunday. He had worked as the No. 2 back behind Achane in Week 10, but that opportunity came due to Gordon managing an ankle injury, which he's now fully recovered from. The Dolphins will go on bye Week 12, so Wright's next chance to handle reserve duties will come Sunday, Nov. 30 versus the Saints in Week 13. |

Malik Washington Malik Washington Productive as receiver in OT win
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 12:34 PM
Washington secured all three targets for 42 yards, returned one kickoff for 21 yards and ran back one punt for three yards in the Dolphins' 16-13 overtime win over the Commanders in Madrid on Sunday.
Analysis: Washington delivered his second-highest receiving yardage total of the season in the overseas victory, finishing tied for second in catches with Jaylen Waddle and third in yards. Washington also continued to fill his usual full-time returner role, and he now has at least 30 receiving yards in four of the last five games heading into Miami's Week 12 bye. |

Ollie Gordon Ollie Gordon Gets into end zone in OT win
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 12:29 PM
Gordon rushed nine times for 45 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 16-13 overtime win over the Commanders in Madrid on Sunday.
Analysis: The rookie served as a highly effective complementary option to De'Von Achane, who led the way with 120 rushing yards on the day. Gordon made solid contributions on a smaller scale, recording a 20-yard run on his way to the second-highest rushing yardage total of his nascent career. Gordon also punched in his second career rush TD on a one-yard run early in the fourth quarter, rounding out his fantasy day nicely. Gordon's game-to-game production remains volatile, but he'll draw another favorable matchup in a Week 13 home date with the Saints on Sunday, Nov. 30 following a Week 12 bye. |

Jaylen Waddle Jaylen Waddle Team-high yardage total in win
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 12:24 PM
Waddle brought in three of seven targets for 52 yards in the Dolphins' 16-13 overtime win over the Commanders in Madrid on Sunday.
Analysis: Waddle's yardage total wasn't anything to write home about, but it was good enough to lead the Dolphins on a day when Tua Tagovailoa threw for only 171 yards. Waddle also paced Miami in targets and contributed a game-long 31-yard grab, and he's now eclipsed 50 receiving yards in six of the last seven games overall, including four straight. Waddle will next take aim at the Saints secondary in a Week 13 home matchup on Sunday, Nov. 30 following a Week 12 bye. |

Tua Tagovailoa Tua Tagovailoa Quiet performance in OT win
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 12:19 PM
Tagovailoa completed 14 of 20 passes for 171 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the Dolphins' 16-13 overtime win over the Commanders in Madrid on Sunday.
Analysis: Tagovailoa's final line underscores the game manager role he played in the overseas win, one in which he withstood three sacks but still managed a solid 8.6 yards per attempt. The veteran signal-caller worked with a tight circle of five targets, and the fact he was able to remain turnover-free for only the second time in the last six games may have been as encouraging an aspect of his performance as any. Tagovailoa has thrown for under 200 yards in each of the last two contests heading into the Week 12 bye, but Miami has notably recorded victories in both contests. |

De'Von Achane De'Von Achane Eclipses century mark in OT win
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 12:14 PM
Achane rushed 21 times for 120 yards and brought in all five targets for 45 yards in the Dolphins' 16-13 overtime victory over the Commanders in Madrid on Sunday.
Analysis: Achane put together a signature two-way performance, repeatedly picking up meaningful yardage on the ground while recording a game-long run of a relatively modest 23 yards. The speedy third-year pro did get evaluated for a possible back injury in the fourth quarter, but he was able to return to the game and handled all three carries on the Dolphins' game-winning drive to set up Riley Patterson's 29-yard field goal. Achane now has back-to-back 100-yard efforts on the ground for the first time this season, and he's recorded at least five catches in four consecutive contests heading into a Week 13 home matchup against the Saints on Sunday, Nov. 30. |

Dee Eskridge Dee Eskridge Not playing in Week 11
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 7:24 AM
Eskridge (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Commanders in Madrid.
Analysis: Eskridge will sit out a second straight game after he was limited in practice throughout Week 11 prep due to the shoulder issue. With Eskridge sidelined, the Dolphins will keep Cedrick Wilson and Tahj Washington active as depth wideouts behind Jaylen Waddle, Malik Washington and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. |

Dee Eskridge Dee Eskridge Questionable after limited practice
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 12:04 PM
Eskridge (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Analysis: Eskridge was limited in all three of Miami's practices, marking clear progress after he didn't practice in any capacity prior to being ruled out against the Bills in Week 10. If Eskridge suits up Sunday in Madrid, his contributions would likely come primarily on special teams. |

Julian Hill Julian Hill Set to return in Madrid
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 9:58 AM
Hill (ankle) practiced without limitations Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Analysis: Hill's poised to return Sunday against the Commanders in Madrid following a three-game absence. He's expected to reclaim his role as Miami's top tight end in the ongoing absence of Darren Waller (pectoral). The Dolphins also have Greg Dulcich and Hayden Rucci at the position. |

Ollie Gordon Ollie Gordon Cleared after full practice Friday
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 9:55 AM
Gordon (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Analysis: Gordon was limited to one touch in Miami's Week 10 win over the Bills while playing through this ankle injury, so it remains to be seen how change-of-pace duties behind lead back De'Von Achane will be distributed between Gordon and Jaylen Wright, though it's encouraging the Gordon practiced without limitations Friday and avoided an injury designation. The Dolphins will face a slumping Commanders team Sunday morning in Madrid. |
