With the Miami Dolphins trailing the second-seed Buffalo Bills14-0 with a little more than two minutes still left in the first quarter, wide receiver Jaylen Waddle came up holding his arm after a dropped 3rd & 15 pass.
Waddle spent the week on the Dolphin’s injury list as he was limited in practices with an ankle injury but was able to work through the injury to get himself a full day of practice on Friday and start in Sunday’s Wild Card showdown between the two division rivals.
With Skylar Thompson starting in place of both Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) and Teddy Bridgewater (finger), the Dolphins hadn’t tried too many deep throws as they were trying to get the ball out of their third-string quarterback’s hands as quickly as possible after each snap.
