Jaylen Waddle

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said he’s “optimistic” about Jaylen Waddle (knee) for Week 18.

Waddle has missed the last two weeks since leaving Week 15’s loss against the Texans with a knee injury. He got in two limited sessions in practice last week. We’d probably want to see at least a full session here before trusting he’ll play. With Tyler Huntley looking more likely to be the starting quarterback on Sunday against the Jets, this may not exactly be a smash spot for Waddle.
