Dolphins Place Darren Waller on Season-Ending IR Ahead of Week 18

The veteran's groin issue triggers a second IR stint that closes a nine-game comeback with six touchdowns.

Overview

  • Miami moved the tight end to injured reserve before Sunday’s finale at Gillette Stadium against the Patriots.
  • Waller’s designation follows a groin injury and represents his second time on IR this season.
  • He finished 2025 with 24 receptions for 283 yards and six touchdowns, tying Jaylen Waddle for the team lead in TD catches.
  • Waller returned from a 2024 retirement after Miami acquired him from the Giants in a late-round pick swap (2026 sixth to New York, 2027 seventh to Miami).
  • As a corresponding move, the Dolphins signed running back Donovan Edwards off Washington’s practice squad, and De’Von Achane did not practice this week due to a shoulder issue.
