“Just Throw In The Towel”: Dolphins’ Injury Update On Star WR Jaylen Waddle Sinks Miami Hearts

Miami Dolphins started the season off with a dash towards a playoff-worthy record with the trio of Jaylen Waddle, Tyreek Hill, and Tua Tagovailoa. However, the team started to limp along in the later stages of the competition as a flurry of injuries slowed down the team. While they did grab the last wild card spot, they were left to face the mighty Buffalo Bills. But sticking to the theme of the regular season, the Fins went into the game without both Tagovailoa or their QB2, Teddy Bridgewater.

As one can guess, the fans weren’t too optimistic about their chances. At the very least, the fans were expecting a resilient team effort and an entertaining night. But those hopes did not last very long.

Jaylen Waddle injury update

Everyone knew that defeating the Bills in Buffalo would take nothing short of a miracle for the visiting team. Although the Fins won their first encounter in the NFL. But since then Tagovailoa has been in and out of the team with Bridgewater following the same theme. All the pressure was on the explosive duo of Waddle and the former Super Bowl champion Hill. The duo now might be reduced by half now.

The franchise’s official Twitter account revealed that Waddle is questionable to return during the game. After dropping a long pass on a crucial 3rd & 15, the WR seemed to have landed on his shoulder, picking up a knock in the process. He was taken off the field for medical assessment, turning the fans’ faces pale and hopeless.

Fans react to the injury update

The update from the team has caused some pain among the Miami supporters, who have nearly given up all hope for the game.

Following all the injuries, even this fan decided to dip out for the night.

Moreover, some fans have suggested that the team should move on and start preparing for the next season hoping for different results.

On the hand, many people on the platform can not get over the dropped catch.

Similarly, this person tried to justify the dropped chance.

Lastly, this fan has summed up the season’s end for the Dolphins.

Waddle has been a critical component of the high-flying offense featuring Tua and Tyreek as well. The explosive wideout racked up  1356 receiving yards and 8 TDs in his second year. This is the second consecutive season for the player with 1000+ yards.
