It's good news and bad news for the Dolphins' WR corps.
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) should be able to play in Sunday's game versus the Cleveland Browns, while wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (knee) is unlikely to be available, 撸先生AV Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported.
Hill has been battling the wrist injury, which he has said will likely require surgery after the season, for most of the year. However, he has not yet missed a game due to the ailment, and should be available this week again despite being limited at all three practices.
Meanwhile, Waddle is expected to miss his second straight game after injuring his knee in Week 15, the first games he's missed this year. He did not practice Wednesday but was upgraded to limited participation the next few days, though it appears he was not able to get to a point of getting on the field.
This is the latest frustrating injury news for Miami, which on Saturday announced that quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was downgraded to a doubtful game designation due to a hip injury.
The Dolphins are hanging on to a slim playoff chance heading into Sunday's game in Cleveland, currently holding a 10 percent chance of making it in with two games to go. Needing this win to keep the hope going, the Dolphins will likely have to do so without at least one major player, though another star should be on the field.
The Dolphins and Browns kick off at 4:05 p.m. ET.
Other injuries we are keeping an eye on ahead of Sunday's Week 17 games:
- Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette (hip/wrist) is active for Sunday's game versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
- Cleveland Browns quarterback Jameis Winston (right shoulder) is expected to be inactive for Sunday's game versus the Miami Dolphins and will act as the third (emergency) QB, Rapoport reported, per source.
- Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) is unlikely to play today versus the Minnesota Vikings, per Rapoport.
- New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (toe) is active for Sunday's game versus the Indianapolis Colts.
- New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams, who was questionable with a hip injury, looked good in practice according to interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich, and is active for Sunday's game versus the Buffalo Bills.
