Caleb Douglas Cleared to Play for Dolphins vs. Jets
A healthy Douglas restores a top receiving target to Miami’s struggling passing offense.
Overview
- Coach Jeff Hafley said Douglas, who missed the last three games with an ankle injury, has been cleared to play Sunday after limited practices this week.
- Without Douglas the Dolphins passing attack has been near the bottom of the league, and his return could improve timing and target depth for the rookie quarterback room.
- Hafley also confirmed running back Jaylen Wright will play and that linebacker Willie Gay Jr. is back at practice after an illness.
- Defensive end Rob Beal Jr. was ruled out with a hamstring, cornerback Reese Taylor is unlikely to play with a quadriceps issue, and rookie safety Kyle Louis remains a Saturday activation decision from injured reserve.
- Jets running back Breece Hall is listed questionable after missing time, and Hafley said he expects Hall to play, a development that could affect Miami’s defensive game plan and play-calling.
