Overview

  • Waller was inactive for the first three games and is being activated for his first appearance since joining Miami.
  • The veteran tight end last played in 2023 for the Giants and returned from a brief retirement to sign on with the Dolphins.
  • McDaniel said Waller looks ready to contribute, adding size to the passing group with potential red-zone help despite 20 career touchdowns across 63 starts.
  • Miami has opened 0-3 with a sputtering offense, and tight ends Julian Hill and Tanner Conner have provided minimal receiving production so far.
  • Pro Football Rumors reports Miami could also adjust at right guard in Week 4, with Daniel Brunskill likely to start as Cole Strange mixes into first-team reps.
