"Waller left the 31-6 loss at Cleveland in the second quarter with a pectoral injury. He didn't return. Waller, who retired in June 2024 and came out of retirement in July 2025, has 10 receptions (tied for fifth on the team) for 117 yards (fourth on the team) and a team-best four touchdowns. Waller's injury further cripples an offense that's been beset with injuries to top players among wide receiver Tyreek Hill (knee), right guard James Daniels (pectoral) and right tackle Austin Jackson (ankle)."
"McDaniel said there will be a battle for backup quarterback this week between rookie Quinn Ewers, who served as the backup to starter Tua Tagovailoa against Cleveland, and veteran Zach Wilson, the former No. 2 pick of trhe draft who the Dolphins paid $6 million to be Tagovailoa's backup. McDaniel, who has a 29-29 regular season record and a 29-31 overall record, including his two playoff losses, said he refuses to acknowledge specualtion about his future."
Darren Waller sustained a soft tissue pectoral injury Sunday and is unlikely to play this week at Atlanta after leaving the 31-6 loss at Cleveland in the second quarter and not returning. Waller has 10 receptions for 117 yards and a team-best four touchdowns after coming out of retirement in July 2025. His injury compounds losses to Tyreek Hill (knee), James Daniels (pectoral) and Austin Jackson (ankle), weakening the offense. A backup quarterback competition will resume between rookie Quinn Ewers and veteran Zach Wilson. Coach Mike McDaniel acknowledged preventable substitution and alignment errors and refused to address speculation about his job security. Tua Tagovailoa has 11 touchdowns, 10 interceptions and one lost fumble.
