Miami Dolphins vs. Houston Texans - News - December 15, 2024

Jaylen Waddle - Avoids long-term injury Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that the injury Waddle (knee) sustained during the team's Week 15 loss to the Texans is "not major, not surgery-related," David Furone...

Impact Waddle's status appears murky for Miami's upcoming matchup against the 49ers on Sunday, but it at least appears he's avoided a more severe outcome. Tyreek Hill remains available for the Dolphins, and if Waddle can't go versus San Francisco, rookie sixth-round pick Malik Washington will be in solid position to build upon his career-best 5-52-0 receiving line logged versus Houston. Further clarity on Waddle's status could arrive with Wednesday's first official injury report of Week 16.

Grant DuBose - Receiving positive news DuBose remains hospitalized Monday but has movement in all extremities, and initial tests have revealed positive results.

Impact DuBose will remain under the care of doctors for continued observation, but fortunately, it sounds like he avoided a worst-case scenario. The second-year pro was part of a scary collision during Sunday's game against the Texans that saw him stretchered off the field and taken to a Houston hospital.

John Metchie III - Four targets in win Metchie caught two of four targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 20-12 win over the Dolphins in Week 15.

Impact One of Metchie's four targets was an incompletion in the red zone. He's been the most productive of the bunch behind Nico Collins and Tank Dell, but the overall passing game in 2024 is not what it was in quarterback C.J. Stroud's rookie 2023 season. Metchie has 17 receptions (25 targets) for 182 yards over 11 games played.

Robert Woods - Two touches in win Woods caught both of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 20-12 win over Miami in Week 15.

Impact Woods had the third-most snaps (24) among wide receivers, but his production was similar to previous weeks. After Nico Collins and Tank Dell, Woods is looking for leftovers along with John Metchie (21 snaps, four targets) and Xavier Hutchinson (eight, one). Woods has caught 13 of 19 targets for 124 yards and zero touchdowns.
