Overview

• Playing his first NFL game since 2023 after a hip strain sidelined him for three weeks, Waller caught 4- and 9-yard touchdowns in the second and third quarters.
• Miami secured its first win of the season as Tua Tagovailoa went 17-of-25 for 177 yards with two touchdown passes and De'Von Achane ran for 99 yards and a score.
• Tyreek Hill left in the third quarter with a left leg/knee injury, was carted off the field, and was hospitalized for imaging and evaluation.
• Waller’s touchdowns were his first since Oct. 22, 2023, and the performance marked the third two-touchdown game of his career.
• The Dolphins acquired Waller’s rights from the Giants on July 1 for a 2026 sixth-round pick, and he signed a reported one-year deal before a cautious ramp-up to his debut.
