• Dolphins' Malik Washington: Limited in practice Wednesday

  22H ago • By RotoWire

  Washington (quadricep) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice session, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Washington was unable to play the first two games of the regular season due to the quad injury he sustained in early September. He missed all three practices leading up to Week 2 against the Bills, but the rookie sixth-round pick returned to the field Wednesday. If Washington can continue to make progress this week, then he could be cleared to make his NFL debut Sunday against the Seahawks. When healthy, Washington will likely operate in a depth role behind Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, though he could eventually push Braxton Berrios for the third spot on the depth chart.

• Dolphins' Malik Washington: Returns to practice Wednesday

  Washington (quadricep) is participating in Wednesday's practice, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports. Washington wasn't able to practice in any capacity Week 2 before being ruled out ahead of the Dolphins' loss to the Bills, but according to Schad, the receiver is feeling good after Wednesday's session. The rookie sixth-round pick will work to keep making progress and get the green light for his regular-season debut during Sunday's game against Seattle. Skylar Thompson will start at quarterback for Miami after Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

• Dolphins' Malik Washington: Listed as DNP again

  Washington (quadriceps) is listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's practice report, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports. The Dolphins only logged a walk-through practice Tuesday and released an estimated injury report Monday, but it's worrying to see Washington listed as a non-participant twice in a row. The rookie sixth-round pick missed Week 1 and looks like he could be in danger of also having to sit out Thursday's game against the Bills.

• Dolphins' Malik Washington: Racks up 120 all-purpose yards

  27D ago • By RotoWire

  Washington caught his only target for seven yards and rushed once for 40 yards, while adding a 45-yard kickoff return and a 28-yard punt return in Friday's 24-14 preseason loss to the Buccaneers. Washington has proven capable of making plays in a variety of situations with the ball in his hands throughout the preseason. The rookie sixth-round pick probably won't see consistent playing time at wide receiver, but his versatility should help him secure a roster spot, and Miami's coaching staff may continue to scheme the ball into Washington's hands on gadget plays or in special-teams situations after the regular season kicks off Sept. 8 against the Jaguars.

  Washington has stood out in back-to-back joint practices with the Falcons, and he connected on a deep target from quarterback Skylar Thompson for a highlight-reel play Wednesday, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports. Washington is listed as a fifth-string wide receiver on Miami's first unofficial depth chart of the preseason, but he still has plenty of time remaining to make his case for a spot on the 53-man roster. The rookie sixth-round pick has impressed in recent practice while Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed) and Braxton Berrios (undisclosed) have missed time, and he took advantage of Tyreek Hill logging limited work Wednesday. Head coach Mike McDaniel praised Washington's early development during Wednesday's presser, noting that the receiver is "operating as a pro in terms of how he's studying, his ownership of the playbook, and how reliable he is with assignments for his teammates." The rookie could further help his stock if he's able to flash in Friday's preseason opener against Atlanta.
