Dolphins share injury update for Isaiah Wynn, Jaylen Waddle after Sunday Night Football
The Dolphins have injury updates on multiple players. Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reported on some of the updates on Monday, which included the status of wide receiver Jaylen Waddle.
Per Wolfe’s tweet, left guard Isaiah Wynn will miss “weeks” with a quad injury. Head coach Mike McDaniel provided the update.
Additionally, Waddle will practice this week after the team “found a solution” for his back injury. Finally, linebacker David Long was cleared from concussion protocol late Sunday night.
Waddle played in Miami’s 31-17 loss to Philadelphia on Sunday night. He finished the game with six catches for 63 yards. He has appeared in six of the Dolphins’ seven games thus far.
In his appearances, Waddle has hauled in 30 receptions for 359 yards and two touchdowns.
Wynn left Sunday night’s game early because of the injury. McDaniel didn’t specify how many weeks the offensive lineman will miss, but it sounds like several games could be on the table.
Long also suffered an injury during Sunday’s game, which forced him to enter concussion protocol.
Miami looks get to get back on the winning side of things next week. The Dolphins host the Patriots at Hard Rock Stadium next Sunday, with kickoff set for 1 p.m. ET.
Tagovailoa, Hurts share moment after Dolphins-Eagles game
There’s still a lot of respect between Tua Tagovailoa and Jalen Hurts. The two former Alabama quarterbacks shared a nice moment following the Sunday Night Football matchup between the Dolphins and Eagles in Philadelphia.
This weekend marked the first time the two quarterbacks went head-to-head in the NFL. Hurts got the better end of the deal, with Philadelphia defeating Miami 31-17. The Eagles improved to 6-1 on the season while Miami dropped to 5-2.
Following the game, Tagovailoa and Hurts met at midfield to share some words with each other. It had to be a cool moment for the former teammates on such a big stage.
Tagovailoa and Hurts were both members of Alabama’s 2017-18 national championship squad. Hurts played for the Crimson Tide from 2016-18 before transferring to Oklahoma for his final season.
Tagovailoa was in Tuscaloosa from 2017-19.
Hurts ended Sunday’s game completing 23-of-31 passes for 279 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in the win. He also rushed for 21 yards and a score on 11 carries.
Tagovailoa threw for 216 yards with a touchdown and pick while completing 23-of-32 throws. He was sacked three times for 10 yards in the loss.
