Injury Concerns Mount for Miami Dolphins Ahead of Key Bills Showdown

As the Miami Dolphins prepare for their pivotal Week 3 clash against the Buffalo Bills on Thursday night, injury updates have cast a shadow over their game plan.

Waller Continues to Sit Out

Tight end Darren Waller has been officially ruled out for the third consecutive game due to a lingering hip injury. This setback means he will miss yet another opportunity to contribute, but optimistic projections suggest he may make his much-anticipated Dolphins debut in Week 4 against the New York Jets.

Waddle’s Status Uncertain

The news isn’t much brighter for wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, who is battling a shoulder injury and is currently listed as questionable. His ability to take the field against Buffalo remains in doubt, potentially leaving a significant void in Miami’s receiving corps.

Defensive Gaps for the Dolphins

Compounding these issues, the Dolphins will also be without key defensive players. Starting cornerback Storm Duck is sidelined with an ankle injury, while starting safety Ifeatu Melifonwu will miss the game due to a calf issue.

In addition, defensive tackle Benito Jones (oblique) and linebacker Chop Robinson (knee) are both questionable, raising further concerns about Miami’s depth as they head into an important divisional matchup.

The Dolphins will need to navigate these injury challenges carefully as they aim to secure a vital victory against a formidable Bills team.
