Dolphins' Darren Waller: Three grabs in lopsided loss
Darren Waller brought in three of five targets for 40 yards in the Miami Dolphins' 45-21 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.Waller couldn't fully exploit what has been the most favorable matchup in the league for tight ends this season, although he did contribute a 22-yard grab on one of his three catches. The veteran tight end was working with rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers for the first time, and given they flashed some solid chemistry, Waller could be set for even more work against another defense that tends to give up production to his position, that of the Buccaneers, in a Week 17 home matchup.

Dolphins' Darren Waller: Set for Week 16
Darren Waller (rest/knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game versus the Bengals, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.Waller was listed as limited Wednesday and Thursday with rest/knee, but his return to all activity Friday clears him for Week 16 action. He'll be working with a new signal-caller Sunday, as rookie Quinn Ewers is taking over for Tua Tagovailoa. Nevertheless, in his seven appearances this season, Waller has had a knack for finding the end zone, as evidenced by his 20-243-6 line on 26 targets.

Dolphins' Darren Waller: Limited in practice Thursday
Darren Waller (knee/rest) was a limited participation in Thursday's practice, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.Waller continues to have his practice reps managed, as has been standard for the veteran tight end all season. Barring any setbacks, there's not yet any reason to believe Waller's status is in much genuine doubt for Sunday's matchup against the Bengals. Waller is fresh off a two-TD performance on Monday Night Football against the Steelers and now faces an exceptional matchup against the league's worst-rank defense against opposing TEs, but Miami's overall passing game carries an air of uncertainty heading into what will be the first regular-season start of rookie Quinn Ewers' career.

Dolphins' Darren Waller: Estimated as limited in practice
Darren Waller (rest/knee) was listed as limited on Wednesday's practice estimate, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.Waller logged a 54 percent snap share in Monday's 28-15 loss to the Steelers en route to catching seven of his eight targets for 66 yards and two touchdowns in the contest. Given that the Miami Dolphins held a walk-through Wednesday, Thursday's injury report should add more relevant context to the tight end's Week 16 status, but so far there's nothing to suggest that he'll miss this weekend's game against the Bengals, which will mark QB Quinn Ewers' first regular-season start.

Dolphins' Darren Waller: Pair of TD grabs in loss
Darren Waller secured seven of eight targets for 66 yards and two touchdowns in the Miami Dolphins' 28-15 loss to the Steelers on Monday.The veteran tight end set the pace in receptions and targets on the night for Miami, and he was just a yard behind De'Von Achane for the team lead in receiving yards. Waller also was on the receiving end of both of Tua Tagovailoa's touchdown passes, recording six- and 13-yard scoring grabs in the fourth quarter. Waller has been productive and displayed a knack for the end zone on the rare occasions he's been healthy this season, and he'll head into a highly favorable Week 16 home matchup against the Bengals with a 20-243-6 line on 26 targets across seven games.

Dolphins' Darren Waller: One catch against Jets
Darren Waller caught one of three targets for 13 yards and added a four-yard carry in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Jets.Waller was outplayed by Greg Dulcich, who caught all three of his targets for 41 yards. The last time Waller had more than three targets in a game was his second appearance for the Miami Dolphins in Week 5, though Waller has been limited to only four subsequent appearances by a pectoral injury that led to a stint on injured reserve. Up next for Waller and the Dolphins is a Week 15 trip to Pittsburgh.

Dolphins' Darren Waller: Team-high yardage in return
Darren Waller (pectoral), who was activated from injured reserve Saturday, brought in two of three targets for 47 yards in the Miami Dolphins' 21-17 win over the Saints on Sunday.Making his return from a minimum four-game stay on injured reserve, Waller finished with a team-high yardage total on a low-volume day for the Dolphins' air attack. The veteran tight end also came close to securing his fifth touchdown reception of the season in the second half, and he turned in an encouraging performance overall. Waller figures to remain a key part of the passing game down the stretch as Miami tries to complete a longshot bid for a wild-card spot.

Dolphins' Darren Waller: Active versus New Orleans
Darren Waller (pectoral) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Saints.Waller, who last saw game action in Week 7, had his 21-day practice window opened Wednesday and then logged three straight limited practices before being listed as questionable for Sunday's contest. The tight end was subsequently activated from IR on Saturday, setting the stage for his return to action versus New Orleans. Prior to being sidelined, Waller caught 10 passes (on 12 targets) for 117 yards and four touchdowns in four games, and now that he's back in the mix, he'll join WRs Jaylen Waddle and Malik Washington along with RB De'Von Achane as one of the Miami Dolphins' top options in the passing game, a context that makes him worthy of roster/lineup consideration for those in need of TE help in Week 13 and beyond.

Dolphins' Darren Waller: Activated from IR
The Miami Dolphins activated Darren Waller (pectoral) from injured reserve Saturday.Waller is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, but his activation from IR indicates that he'll be cleared to return from a four-game absence due to a pectoral injury. Waller's return will shrink the offensive roles of fellow tight ends Greg Dulcich and Julian Hill. Waller caught 10 passes (on 12 targets) for 117 yards and four touchdowns in the four games prior to his injury.

Dolphins' Darren Waller: Set to be activated from IR
Darren Waller (pectoral) is expected to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.Waller was cleared to return to practice Wednesday and was a limited participant throughout Week 13 prep. Despite the lack of a full practice, the veteran tight end appears to have progressed enough in his recovery from a pectoral injury to be activated from IR. Waller's return gives quarterback Tua Tagovailoa another big target in the passing game, particularly in the red zone, as Waller hauled in four touchdown passes from Weeks 4 to 6. Waller may have his snap count limited Sunday, but his return means Greg Dulcich and Julian Hill will see less work on offense.
