MIAMI GARDENS — The Dolphins’ first-team offense dominated Atlanta Falcons Lite over its first two possessions, and Miami avoided a major injury scare in its second preseason game on Saturday night at Hard Rock Stadium.
Rookie wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, the Dolphins’ prized No. 6 pick in this year’s draft, re-entered the exhibition after going down in pain blocking on a Myles Gaskin run near the goal line on the team’s opening drive.
Getting his left leg chopped by a Falcons defender, Waddle was able to walk under his own power as he went to the sideline and, momentarily, into the tunnel toward the locker room.
