Darren Waller Set for Dolphins Debut on Situational Snap Count vs. Jets

He is returning after a hip setback following a year away from football.

Overview

  • Coach Mike McDaniel said Waller is expected to play Monday night against the Jets in a defined situational package with monitored snaps.
  • Waller practiced this week after a pre‑season hip issue and had previously been placed on the physically unable to perform list during camp.
  • He missed training camp and the first three games as Miami paced his ramp‑up following time away from the sport.
  • The former Pro Bowler reversed his post‑2023 retirement this summer and was traded from the Giants to the Dolphins in July.
  • With Miami at 0‑3, coaches plan to use him on specific downs such as chain‑moving situations and red‑zone targets rather than full‑time snaps.
