"Miami Dolphins standout wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and running back De'Von Achane are both unlikely to play in the team's finale against the New England Patriots, according to an ESPN report Sunday morning. That much was expected for Achane, who entered doubtful after he didn't practice through a shoulder injury all week. Waddle was questionable with ailing ribs suffered last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers."
"At running back, Miami will likely go with a heavy dose of young tailbacks Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon II, while veteran Jeff Wilson Jr. was called up from the practice squad Saturday. As far as pass-catchers go, rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers, making his third start, can look the way of wide receivers Malik Washington, Cedrick Wilson Jr., Theo Wease Jr., Tahj Washington and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, if he's not a healthy inactive, along with tight ends Greg Dulcich and Julian Hill."
Jaylen Waddle and De'Von Achane are both unlikely to play in the Dolphins' finale against the New England Patriots. Achane entered doubtful after missing practice all week with a shoulder injury. Waddle was listed questionable with ribs suffered last week against the Buccaneers. Inactives will be announced 90 minutes before the 4:25 p.m. kickoff at Gillette Stadium. Achane and Waddle combined for 2,776 yards from scrimmage, accounting for 53.7 percent of Miami's offense entering Week 18. Achane finished with 1,350 rushing yards (third in team history) and 1,838 scrimmage yards (second-most). Waddle finished 2025 with 910 receiving yards. Miami projects to use Jaylen Wright, Ollie Gordon II and Jeff Wilson Jr. at running back, and targets for rookie Quinn Ewers include Malik Washington, Cedrick Wilson Jr., Theo Wease Jr., Tahj Washington, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Greg Dulcich and Julian Hill. Minkah Fitzpatrick was ruled out with a calf injury, and additional players are listed as questionable.
