When the Miami Dolphins traded for Darren Waller, the thoughts of losing Jonnu Smith were glossed over, but when training camp started, Waller was on the sideline.
Waller signed with the Dolphins shortly after Miami traded Smith to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Waller had spent the 2024 season on the reserve/retired list. He wanted to come back and play football, but only for Dolphins offensive coordinator Frank Smith, whom he had played for before.
Drew Rosenhaus says his client Darren Waller WILL be ready for Week 1. The TE is on the PUP list working back into “football shape” after taking a year off.
