US EditionDarren Waller Injury: Dolphins TE Doubtful to Play Sunday Against Colts Due to Hip Strain
Dolphins tight end Darren Waller, who retired last year and returned this season, is sidelined for the opener due to a hip strain aggravated before practice, coach Mike McDaniel said.
- On Friday, Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said tight end Darren Waller is doubtful for the season opener after a hip strain worsened on Thursday, keeping him out Sunday against Indianapolis.
- Coming out of retirement on July 1, Darren Waller had limited practice reps, spent time on the PUP list, and was only activated on Aug. 20 before his recent setback.
- The coach added that Waller missed consecutive practices, was not scheduled for Wednesday, yet worsened his injury before practice and missed Friday's session.
- With Waller sidelined, the Miami Dolphins are thin at tight end and will likely promote Hayden Rucci or Greg Dulcich from the practice squad, potentially altering the 53-man roster before Sunday.
- A veteran with 4,124 career receiving yards, Darren Waller's injury complicates building on-field chemistry with Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who noted limited reps with his new tight end.
