Pro Football Rumors
Darren Waller‘s unretirement produced an injury-driven delay, but once the former Pro Bowl tight end debuted, he made a difference for the Dolphins. That has proven short-lived.
Miami is placing Waller on IR, per NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero. The veteran pass catcher suffered a pectoral injury in Week 7, and he will miss at least four games. This certainly clouds Waller’s comeback year, as injuries have dogged him for a while now. Miami is signing Greg Dulcich off its practice squad to take Waller’s roster spot.
It took Waller until Week 4 to debut as a Dolphin; a hip strain kept him off the field for most of September. Upon finally returning to action, the former Raiders standout caught two touchdown passes in a Dolphins win over the Jets. Waller added a 78-yard performance the following week. In his first three games with Miami, Waller scored four touchdowns. That matched his combined total from the 2022 and ’23 seasons, but another setback will force a hiatus.
More to come.
