The Miami Dolphins are expecting to have one of their best offensive playmakers on the field when they host the rival New England Patriots in Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season.
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Thursday he's quite confident that wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, who's dealing with a lower body injury, will be ready to play versus the Patriots on Sept. 11.
Waddle was a first-round pick (No. 6 overall) of the Dolphins in 2021. He had a tremendous rookie season, leading the team in receptions with 104, receiving yards with 1,015 and receiving touchdowns with six.
