Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Four catches in Week 2 loss
Jaylen Waddle brought in all four targets for 41 yards and rushed once for four yards in the Miami Dolphins' 31-10 loss to the Bills on Thursday night.Considering how ineffective Tua Tagovailoa was in an injury-shortened three-interception performance and the fact Waddle was pulled from the game early due to the lopsided score, the fourth-year wideout's numbers weren't a complete washout. Waddle actually outproduced position mate Tyreek Hill (3-24-0) through the air, but his numbers still were a far cry from his 5-109-0 line Week 1 versus the Jaguars. Waddle will look to boost his numbers back up with either Tagovailoa or Skylar Thompson as his quarterback in a Week 3 road matchup against the Seahawks on Sunday, Sept. 22.

Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Clears 100-yard mark in Week 1 win
Jaylen Waddle brought in all five targets for 109 yards in the Miami Dolphins' 20-17 win over the Jaguars on Sunday. He also rushed once for three yards.Waddle was overshadowed by fellow wideout Tyreek Hill -- who finished with seven receptions for 130 yards and a touchdown -- but the fourth-year pro made quite an impact in his own right. The Alabama product connected with Tua Tagovailoa for a big 63-yard reception to start an early third-quarter drive, and he also played a key role in a late second-quarter march that resulted in the Dolphins' first touchdown by drawing a pass interference penalty and subsequently recording a 20-yard grab. Waddle also was evaluated for a concussion in the first half but cleared after a visit to the medical tent, per Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com. Waddle won't have to wait long to attempt to build on his impressive season-opening effort, as the Bills come to town for a Week 2 divisional showdown Thursday night.

Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Not on Week 1 injury report
Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.The Miami Dolphins took a cautious approach to Waddle's recovery from an undisclosed injury for most of training camp, and the star receiver is now fully healthy to begin the regular season. The same goes for Tyreek Hill (thumb), so Tua Tagovailoa will have both his top pass-catching options available for Sunday's season opener against the Jaguars. Meanwhile, both Odell Beckham (undisclosed) and River Cracraft (upper body) will miss at least the first four games of the season, while rookie Malik Washington (quadriceps) was a limited participant Wednesday. That leaves Miami thin at wideout behind Hill, Waddle and No. 3 option Braxton Berrios.

Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Practicing, has no setbacks
Coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed) and Tyreek Hill (thumb) will both practice and have had "no setbacks," Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.McDaniel seems to be indicating that Hill and Waddle, both of whom have been held out of practice recently due to minor injuries, remain on track to suit up for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Jaguars. Waddle practiced in a non-contact jersey last week, but it seems likely that his activity level will now be ramping up. If McDaniel doesn't offer more information on the health of Miami's star wide receivers earlier, Wednesday's official practice report will reveal more about the status of both Waddle and Hill.

Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Still in non-contact jersey
Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed) is practicing in a red non-contact jersey Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.Waddle has been managing an undisclosed minor injury since early August, so while it's encouraging to see him still taking some reps, fantasy managers are eager for the star playmaker to resume practicing fully. The Miami Dolphins are taking a cautious approach to Waddle's health, but with just 12 days remaining before the regular-season opener against Jacksonville on Sept. 8, next week seems like a reasonable target for Waddle to begin truly ramping up his workload. With Odell Beckham (undisclosed) and River Cracraft (upper body) both out for at least the first four games of the season, Miami's depth chart is thin behind Waddle and Tyreek Hill (hand).

Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Practicing with non-contact jersey
Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed) is wearing a non-contact jersey Monday at practice, Alain Poupart of SI.com reports.Waddle's participation in any fashion is a good sign for the Miami Dolphins, 13 days ahead of their regular-season opener against Jacksonville. The WR room has been hit by injury after injury this summer, but it seems Waddle and Tyreek Hill (hand) are on track to be ready for Week 1, leaving the lower portion of the depth chart as the bigger question mark.

Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Back at practice Wednesday
Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed) is practicing in full pads Wednesday and confirmed that he's nursing a minor injury, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.It's unclear whether Waddle participated in team drills Wednesday, per Omar Kelly of The Miami Herald, but in any case, it's encouraging to see the star wide receiver back at practice for the first time since Aug. 7. Waddle also noted that his undisclosed injury wouldn't have limited him during the regular season, but that the Miami Dolphins opted for caution during the preseason. Friday's exhibition game against the Buccaneers will be Waddle's final chance to play during the preseason.

Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Still sidelined at practice
Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed) did not practice Tuesday, Barry Jackson and Omar Kelly of The Miami Herald report.Waddle has missed roughly two weeks of practice due to an undisclosed injury which coach Mike McDaniel labeled as minor. It still doesn't seem like Waddle's status for Week 1 is in jeopardy, but the standout wide receiver could be in danger of missing his final opportunity to log preseason game reps, which will come Friday versus the Buccaneers. Tyreek Hill (hand) didn't participate in catching drills during Tuesday's practice, while Odell Beckham (undisclosed) remains on the active/PUP list and has yet to participate in training camp sessions. In addition, potential No. 3 option River Cracraft (upper body) is expected to miss significant time, so the focus for Miami's receiving corps may be on simply getting healthy before the start of the regular season.

Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Dealing with minor injury
Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday that Jaylen Waddle is missing practice this week due to a minor, unspecified injury, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.McDaniel made it clear he doesn't consider the injury serious, noting that Waddle and Braxton Berrios are dealing with "minor stuff" and nothing more. The Dolphins are four and a half weeks out from their season opener Sept. 8 against Jacksonville, at which point Waddle should make his first regular-season appearance since signing a three-year, $84.75 million extension in May.

Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Signs lucrative extension
Jaylen Waddle signed a three-year, $84.75 million contract extension with the Miami Dolphins on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The deal includes $76 million guaranteed.Waddle is now one of the top five highest-paid receivers in the NFL with an annual salary of $28.25 million. The 2021 first-round pick has been dominant since entering the league, ripping off three straight seasons with 1,000-plus yards, including a 2022 campaign where he produced 1,356 yards and eight touchdowns across 17 regular-season games. The 25-year-old battled injuries last season but is fully healthy ahead of the 2024 campaign. Waddle is still the clear No. 2 receiver behind Tyreek Hill, but there's clearly room for both players to produce as the fastest receiving duo in the league.
