Overview

• Waller caught touchdown passes of 4 and 9 yards and finished with three receptions for 27 yards in a 27-21 win over the Jets.
• He cradled a late onside kick to effectively close out Miami’s first victory of the season.
• After a year away and a hip-related ramp-up, he logged his first NFL snaps in 631 days following a cautious activation by Miami.
• Miami traded a 2026 sixth-round pick to the Giants for Waller and a 2027 seventh-rounder after he reversed his 2024 retirement.
• Tua Tagovailoa called Waller a viable target, and Mike McDaniel said he avoided ‘overcooking’ the return as the staff manages Waller’s workload with Hill sidelined by a dislocated knee.
