Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle suffered a knee injury in the second quarter against the Houston Texans in Week 15.

The star receiver left the game and entered the blue medical tent on Dolphins sideline with an apparent knee injury.

Waddle has had an inconsistent 2024 season that has correlated with Tua Tagovailoa’s concussion and availability issues, but the duo has shown glimpses of rekindling their connection over the past month. An extended absence for Waddle would result in a significant loss for Miami’s offense.

Here’s the latest on the Dolphin’s wide receiver status:

Waddle limped out of the locker room at halftime, wearing a compression sleeve on his knee. He didn’t have his helmet.

Jaylen Waddle left the game midway through the second quarter with 5:27 on the clock. He was injured with Miami trailing 10-3. The Dolphins listed him as questionable to return with a right knee injury.

De’Von Achane caught a pass and gained three yards, but Waddle was injured when a player rolled into his back legs.

Waddle jumped to the sideline, but the play was stopped as the receiver hit the turf in pain. Eventually he was helped to his feet and managed to walk under his own power into the blue medical tent.

Waddle was injured before receiving a catch on the play.

The Dolphins have four other wide receivers on the active roster in Week 15. Earlier this week, Miami posted Odell Beckham Jr.while three receivers are on injured reserve. Washington will most likely take action this week if Waddle remains on the sidelines.
