Dolphins | Darren Waller activated Wed Aug 20, 11:45 AM
Miami Dolphins TE Darren Waller (undisclosed) was activated from the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list Wednesday, Aug. 20, and he will practice for the first time.
| Footballguys view: The Dolphins have a joint practice with the Jaguars on Thursday, so Waller should be out there. We don't yet know what his role will be and if Waller will be able to stay healthy for most of the year. At this time, Fantasy GMs should look at him as a TE2 with upside. |

Dolphins | Darren Waller's return still uncertain Mon Aug 18, 03:38 PM
Miami Dolphins TE Darren Waller (undisclosed) is still on the Reserve/Injured list, and head coach Mike McDaniel said there is no timetable for his return.
| Footballguys view: Waller, who turns 33 next month, was acquired by the Dolphins in a July trade with the New York Giants. The veteran tight end is returning from retirement after sitting out the entire 2024 NFL season. Miami placed Waller on the PUP list at the start of training camp. We'll continue to watch for more, but with Waller being drafted as TE28, he has a lot to prove before being viewed as fantasy relevant. |

Dolphins | De'Von Achane likely to sit out this week Mon Aug 18, 03:37 PM
Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (calf) is not expected to practice this week because of his calf injury, and head coach Mike McDaniel said the plan is to have Achane ready for Week 1.
| Footballguys view: As Miami Herald Omar Kelly noted, calves are typically viewed as tricky injuries, especially for players who rely heavily on their speed, such as Achane, because it could lead to other strains. With Achane sidelined, Miami will likely lean on Jaylen Wright, who has struggled this exhibition season, averaging 1.5 yards per attempt on 13 carries, and rookie Ollie Gordon II to handle the tailback workload in the final preseason game and during the practices that lead up to the regular-season kickoff. We'll be watching this one closely as Week 1 draws nearer. |

Link to story Dolphins | De'Von Achane to miss some time Sat Aug 16, 05:36 PM
Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (undisclosed) will be sidelined for a time because of a soft tissue lower body injury, but head coach Mike McDaniel indicated that he is not concerned about Achane's availability for Week 1.
| Footballguys view: While McDaniel is optimistic, we'll watch this situation closely in the coming days. Achane, who is being drafted as RB7 early in the second round of fantasy drafts, missed six games with a knee injury as a rookie in 2023 but played all 17 games last season. He has 411 touches for 2,496 yards and 23 touches in two seasons. Jaylen Wright, rookie Ollie Gordon II, and Mike Boone are behind Achane at the position. |

Dolphins | Team embarrassed by Detroit in joint practice Wed Aug 13, 04:48 PM
Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports that two Lions beat writers slammed the Dolphins performance in the two teams joint practice Wednesday. A to Z's Mike Payton said "Either the Dolphins are really bad or the Lions are just a juggernaut." The Athletic's Nick Baumgardner said: "As lopsided a joint NFL practice as I've ever seen."
| Footballguys view: The Dolphins had trouble on both sides of the ball in a bad sign for their 2025 outlook. They had one of the most efficient offenses in 2023 and one of the most inefficient last year. It doesn't sound like they are reversing the negative momentum going into 2025. |

Miami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day but may be able to take part in the joint practice with the Detroit Lions this week, according to head coach Mike McDaniel.
| Footballguys view: Like Tyreek Hill, Waddle is likely getting vet treatment as training camp continues. There's little cause for concern unless his absence carries into next week. |

Dolphins | Tyreek Hill day-to-day Tue Aug 12, 02:06 PM
Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (oblique) is considered day-to-day because of his injury but may be able to participate in the joint practice with the Detroit Lions this week, according to head coach Mike McDaniel.
| Footballguys view: Luckily, Hill's injury doesn't sound serious. He's likely receiving some preferential treatment as a highly paid vet. If he's able to return by the end of the week, there won't be any concern. But if this injury carries into next week, we'll take note. |

Dolphins | Alexander Mattison will be able to play again Tue Aug 12, 01:51 PM
Miami Dolphins RB Alexander Mattison (neck) will miss the 2025 season because of his neck surgery, but head coach Mike McDaniel said the injury is not career-ending.
| Footballguys view: Mattison was having a strong camp and profiled to take some of the goal-line work for Miami. With him missing the season, rookie Ollie Gordon II may have a chance to carve out that potentially valuable role. Gordon is 6'1" and 226 pounds with a bruising playstyle. He's worth consideration as a final round pick in your fantasy drafts. |

Miami Dolphins RB Alexander Mattison (neck) underwent neck surgery Sunday, Aug. 10, and will miss the 2025 season, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Mattison was impressing head coach Mike McDaniel with his short yardage running and more. The team guaranteed about one million dollars of his 2025 salary, so clearly they expected him to have a role in the backfield. Jaylen Wright was thwarted on multiple goal line attempts in the preseason opener, although the line did him no favors. The Dolphins have signed RBs Mike Boone and Aaron Shampklin, who join a depth chart that also includes rookie Ollie Gordon. |

Free-agent RB Jamaal Williams (Saints) Is working out for the Miami Dolphins Monday, Aug. 11.
| Footballguys view: Williams could take the place of Alexander Mattison, who is out for the season after suffering a back/neck injury. He could be a short-yardage back that caps the upside of Jaylen Wright as a backup to De'Von Achane. |

WRs Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine are the top three wideouts, with Malik Washington, Dee Eskridge and Erik Ezukanma believed to be in the mix for the No. 4 job. Washington might have tossed his hat into the ring for the top-four job, however. He is a player worth monitoring.

Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (undisclosed) worked primarily on the side during practice Thursday, Aug. 7.
| Footballguys view: Hill has an oblique injury. It's not serious, but he might not play this weekend in the team's preseason opener. This is also not what we wanted to hear about a player that we are worried about being in the decline phase of his career. Hill is a true boom/bust proposition in the third round, and Jaylen Waddle is looking more attractive at his depressed 5th/6th round price. |
