Darren Waller Won't Play Against Patriots

Friday, September 12, 12:14 PM

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said that tight end Darren Waller (hip) will be out in Week 2 against the division-rival New England Patriots. Waller has not practiced this week and will miss his second straight game in 2025 after coming out of retirement to join the Dolphins. The 32-year-old was ramping up all summer during training camp after not playing at all in 2024, and he suffered a hip injury in practice last week. His injury doesn't appear to be very serious, but the Dolphins aren't going to take any chances with a player who sat out all of last year. It remains to be seen if Waller will be able to make his Dolphins debut in Week 3 against the division-rival Buffalo Bills, but it's probably unlikely, given that it will be on a short week next Thursday night. Tanner Conner and Julian Hill will continue to fill in at TE, but neither player will be an acceptable fantasy streamer in Week 2.
