Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle has sustained a knee injury, but head coach Mike McDaniel has indicated that it is not major and does not require surgery. Waddle's status for the upcoming game against the 49ers remains uncertain, but he has avoided a more severe outcome. If he cannot play, rookie Malik Washington is poised to step up. Additionally, Waddle has been highlighted as a potential top target for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa if Tyreek Hill is sidelined due to his own injury.
- Waddle's knee injury is not serious, avoiding long-term implications.
- His availability for the next game is still in question.
- If Waddle is out, rookie Malik Washington could take on a larger role.
