Jaylen Waddle's Preseason Player AnalysisA pair of injuries disrupted Waddle's 2023.
His volume mirrored a dynamic 2022, though. Beyond the injuries, a lack of TDs accounted for the primary difference between the seasons. And we know TD rates can fluctuate from season to season.
More broadly, we have a prime-year WR with (1) QB/HC continuity and (2) a clear path to ~120 targets.
Waddle remains a strong WR2.
Tua Tagovailoa Back For Week 8?
There's a "real possibility" that Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is back for the Week 8 game against the Cardinals, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. That's when he's first eligible to come off IR after his latest concussion. Tagovailoa is reportedly symptom-free and has no plans to retire. RB De'Von Achane, WR Tyreek Hill, and WR Jaylen Waddle need Tua back to save their seasons. There's still no guarantee that Tagovailoa makes it back (or stays on the field if he does), but it's not a bad idea to make buy-low offers for Miami's skill guys right now.
Tua Tagovailoa Heads to Injured Reserve with Concussion
Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa has been placed on Injured Reserve after the concussion that he suffered on Thursday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills. Tagovailoa will miss at least the next four games and may miss more.
Tua Tagovailoa Meeting With Neurologists This Week
Dolphins QB Tua Tagaovailoa will meet with neurologists this week after sustaining another concussion in Thursday night's loss to the Bills, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. "Tagovailoa will be seeking their input into the severity of his latest concussion and the cumulative effect of the ones he has suffered in the past to make the most informed decision about his future," Schefter writes. Tagovailoa contemplated retiring after suffering multiple concussions in 2022, so we have to believe that's on his mind now. At a minimum, he's likely looking at a multi-game absence. The Dolphins will turn to QB Skylar Thompson at least for Week 3. We'll see what they add to the position. Free-agent QB Ryan Tannehill seems like the easiest short-term fix.
No Timetable For Tua Tagovailoa's Return
Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel didn't even want to talk about a potential timetable for return for QB Tua Tagovailoa after his latest concussion. "The furthest thing from my mind is what is the timeline," McDaniel said after the loss to the Bills. "We just need to evaluate and just worry about my teammate, like the rest of the guys are. We will get more information tomorrow and take it day by day from there." Tagovailoa was able to walk off the field under his own power, has movement in all extremities, and was "in good spirits" afterward, McDaniel said.
Jaylen Waddle questionable for Wild Card game
Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday night's Wild Card game vs. the Chiefs after a limited week of practices. HC Mike McDaniel said Thursday that he's "optimistic" Waddle will be available for this one. He'll be just three weeks removed from his high-ankle sprain, though, so don't expect Waddle to be at 100%.
