Miami Dolphins now set to lose star

Miami Dolphins Set To Lose Star Wide Receiver Jaylen Waddle Against Ravens

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel predicted that Jaylen Waddle would start against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 16. On Thursday, that optimism was said to have shifted.

According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Waddle could miss the rest of the regular season due to a high-ankle sprain. McDaniel attempted to refute that claim later in the afternoon, saying Waddle’s injury wasn’t “overly severe” and that the Dolphins weren’t ready to rule him out for Sunday.

 

 

The Miami Dolphins are expected to miss Waddle in Week 17

Waddle’s trajectory at the Dolphins camp took a hit Thursday as he missed his second straight practice. Waddle is expected to miss Sunday’s game against the Ravens, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

The Dolphins’ game versus the Ravens might determine which team finishes first in the AFC following Week 18. While the Dolphins would prefer Waddle to play in Sunday’s crucial game, they understand that prolonging the injury through the regular season could hurt the offense in the playoffs in a few weeks.
