Dolphins' Malik Washington: Limited in practice Wednesday
Washington (quadriceps) 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 a quadriceps 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 make his NFL debut Sunday against the Seahawks and see some work as a depth wide receiver behind Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Braxton Berrios.

Dolphins' Malik Washington: Returns to practice Wednesday
Washington (quadriceps) 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 to face Buffalo, but per Schad, he's 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, a contest in which Skylar Thompson will start under center for Miami.

Dolphins' Malik Washington: Ruled out for Week 2
Washington (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bills, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Washington will miss a second consecutive game, and the 2024 sixth-round draft pick's next opportunity to make his NFL debut will come Sept. 22 in Seattle in Week 3. Perhaps the extended break between games will provide enough recovery time for Washington to heal, but he didn't appear particularly close to playing Thursday, having failed to practice in any capacity leading up to the game.

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: Starts week with DNP
Washington (quadriceps) was listed as a non-participant in Monday's practice estimate, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Washington missed the team's Week 1 win over the Jaguars with the injury,and given the short week ahead, may be in danger of missing Thursday's game against the Bills. However, it's worth noting that the Dolphins didn't hold an actual practice Monday, so Washington's participation level was just an estimate. More clarity on his potential to suit up Week 2 should be available Tuesday.

Dolphins' Malik Washington: Won't make debut Week 1
Washington (quadriceps) did not practice Friday and is ruled out for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Jaguars, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Washington began the week with back-to-back limited practices before being downgraded to a non-participant Friday. The rookie sixth-round pick was facing notable opportunities to contribute Week 1, with both Odell Beckham (undisclosed) and River Cracraft (upper body) out until Week 5 at the earliest, but he'll have to first return to full health. Braxton Berrios thus will serve as Miami's third wide receiver behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, with Grant DuBose positioned as the team's No. 4 option.

Dolphins' Malik Washington: Not spotted at Friday's practice
Washington (quadriceps) is not present at the portion of Friday's practice open to the media, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Washington was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday due to a quad injury, so if he's been downgraded to a non-participant Friday, it will bode poorly for his chances of suiting up Week 1. Friday's official practice report will provide Washington with an injury designation for Sunday's game against Jacksonville.

Dolphins' Malik Washington: Limited to begin week
Washington was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a quadricep injury, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Washington remained healthy throughout the preseason, but he's nursing what seems to be a minor injury heading into Sunday's season opener versus the Jaguars. The rookie sixth-round pick is facing immediate opportunities to contribute if he can get healthy, with both Odell Beckham (undisclosed) and River Cracraft (upper body) ruled out for at least the first four games of the season. Braxton Berrios has the experience to immediately work as the No. 3 receiver behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, but health permitting, Washington should have a chance to contribute as a depth option early in his career.

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

Dolphins' Malik Washington: Flashes all-purpose skills in win
Washington rushed once for 21 yards, hauled in one of four targets for five yards, returned two kickoffs for 46 yards and ran back four punts for 21 yards in the Dolphins' 20-13 preseason win over the Falcons on Friday night. He also fumbled once but recovered.
The rookie sixth-round pick had impressed during joint practices with the Falcons this week, and he was able to carry some of that momentum into Friday night's preseason opener. Washington wasn't able to maximize his opportunities through the air, but he flashed with his work as a rusher and on returns. The night was a positive initial step overall in Washington's quest for a roster spot, and he should see his fair share of touches again in the Dolphins' second exhibition game versus the Commanders on Aug. 17.

Dolphins' Malik Washington: Building momentum at camp
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.
