Dolphins Receive Positive Week-to-Week Update on Darren Waller Injury

The Miami Dolphins received a positive injury update on star tight end Darren Waller following his exit due to a pectoral injury during their Week 7 loss to the Cleveland Browns. Initial fears of a season-ending torn pectoral were alleviated after an MRI confirmed Waller has a strained pectoral and is considered week-to-week, with no surgery expected. Waller has been a key red zone threat for Miami, scoring four touchdowns in four games this season, making his availability crucial for the struggling Dolphins offense. The team, already without Tyreek Hill for the season, faces uncertainty about Waller's participation in upcoming games against the Atlanta Falcons and Buffalo Bills. While Waller's injury presents challenges, his potential return could provide a vital boost to Miami's offense, which has struggled through a 1-6 start. The Dolphins plan to rely more on other tight ends and receivers if Waller remains sidelined.
