Mike McDaniel on WR Jaylen Waddle’s injury: Fortunate that it’s not something that will be long term

Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel met with the media following the team’s 19-3 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Friday night, the first time speaking with reporters since wide receiver Jaylen Waddle left Thursday’s practice with an injury.

Waddle suffered a midsection injury but is doing well, according to McDaniel.

“You never want to see anyone ever get injured, but he’s banked enough quality reps that I’m really not worried about his participation within the offense,” he said. “Fortunate that it’s not something that will be a long-term deal, but he’s steadily rehabbing and working with the trainers which fires me up.
