Yikes. Marked improvement is expected this year following a lively offseason, but misfortune continues to permeate Foxborough. Luckily, the Pats are getting some good news ahead of their game versus the Miami Dolphins (0-1).</p><p>Veteran outside linebacker Harold Landry III is <a href="https://x.com/MikeReiss/status/1966589419613237401" rel="noopener">no longer on the injury report</a> and will suit up for the Week 2 showdown, per ESPN NFL Nation’s Mike Reiss. The 2021 Pro Bowl selection missed practice on Wednesday due to a foot issue but quickly allayed worries after returning to the field on Thursday. He now has the green light to compete in Hard Rock Stadium. Considering the questions hovering above New England right now, head coach Mike Vrabel will need him to pick up where he left off against the Las Vegas Raiders.</p><h2><b>Harold Landry III made an immediate impact for Patriots</b></h2><p>Landry recorded two and a half sacks, eight total pressures, four solo tackles and three tackles for loss in the team’s 20-13 season-opening defeat. Pro Football Focus awarded the 2018 second-round draft pick a notable <a href="https://www.pff.com/nfl/players/harold-landry/48600" rel="noopener">80.5 defensive grade</a> for his efforts. Landry played under Vrabel on the Tennessee Titans for five of his first six NFL campaigns before reuniting with the former Coach of the Year this past offseason.</p><p>The Patriots were clearly confident that Landry would once again excel in Vrabel’s system, as evidenced by the three-year, $43.5 million contract they committed to him in March. They will be even more reliant on the Boston College alum in <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-england-patriots/patriots-vs-dolphins-bold-predictions-for-week-2-of-2025-nfl-season">the Dolphins game</a>. Replacing Gonzalez does not appear manageable — Raiders quarterback Geno Smith lit up New England’s secondary for 362 yards — , but Kuhr can still send plenty of pressure at the quarterback.</p><p>If Harold Landry III and injury replacement Anfernee Jennings can find success on the edge versus the Miami’s offensive line, then they could make life easier for the shorthanded CB room. The Pats must capitalize on the Dolphins’ Week 1 debacle and limit QB Tua Tagovailoa.</p><p>Regardless of all the adversity this franchise is currently facing, another loss in Miami Gardens would still sting to great effect. Fortunately, No. 2 is healthy and incredibly stoked for the divisional matchup.</p><p>“Related note, OLBs coach Mike Smith said Landry was texting him at 10 {p.m.} on pass-rush moves,” Reiss posted on X.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Although Kuhr served the role during spring workouts — Williams missed time for an unrelated incident — he will face a brand new challenge in Week 2 of the regular season. And he will do so without Christian Gonzalez and Keion White.</p><p>The Second-Team All-Pro cornerback and third-year defensive end were <a href="https://x.com/MySportsUpdate/status/1966551927866425584" rel="noopener">both ruled out</a> for the divisional matchup, per The 33rd Team’s Ari Meirov. Gonzalez remains sidelined with a hamstring injury and White is dealing with an illness. Patriots outside linebacker Anfernee Jennings, who was a healthy scratch in the squad’s season-opening loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, <a href="https://x.com/DougKyed/status/1966552129100816552" rel="noopener">will be active</a> and is expected to get some work in light of White’s absence, per the Boston Herald’s Doug Kyed.</p><h2><b>The Patriots are in a tough spot</b></h2><p>Considering how much the defense struggled to contain the passing attack in Week 1, and the fact that New England has not won in Miami since before COVID-19, these setbacks could have a significantly negative impact. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/dolphins-news-tua-tagovailoa-frothing-mouth-amid-christian-gonzalez-injury-news">Gonzalez is a massive difference-maker</a> who established himself as one of the better corners in the league in his first full NFL campaign in 2024-25. He recorded two interceptions, 11 pass breakups and 50 solo tackles in 16 games last season. Concern is mounting about his long-term status.</p><p>White is a key contributor in his own right. While he did struggle versus the Raiders, the 2023 second-round draft pick registered five sacks and 45 total pressures last year. Jennings will do his best to man the edge while he recovers, having accumulated five and a half sacks and 117 solo tackles in 61 career NFL games.</p><p>Regardless of the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/dolphins-news-miamis-loss-colts-led-players-only-meeting">obvious issues plaguing the Dolphins</a>, head coach Mike McDaniel still has a potent offense at his disposal. Kuhr’s job was already going to be tough. Now, he will have to get creative and figure out a way to compensate for the absences of Christian Gonzalez and Keion White.</p><p>It is unfair to put more pressure on Zak Kuhr’s shoulders, but an 0-2 start would extinguish much of the enthusiasm that surrounded the Patriots heading into this season. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET in Miami Gardens.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

I feel like Drake Maye looked a little jumpy in that pocket. He didn’t look comfortable in that pocket. Once again, his feet weren’t set in that pocket, and so he had some balls that sailed on him. They kept it close until that fourth quarter. I expect them to get better.”</p><h2><b>Julian Edelman points to Drake Maye’s struggles while urging Patriots to rebound vs. Dolphins</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Patriots-QB-Drake-Maye-against-the-Raiders-Week-1.jpg"><figcaption>Bob DeChiara-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Maye completed 30 of 46 passes for 287 yards, one touchdown and one interception, finishing with a passer rating of 80.6. His most productive target was wideout Kayshon Boutte, who totaled 103 yards on six catches across eight targets. Despite the individual production, New England’s offense faltered in key moments, allowing the Raiders to pull away late.</p><p>Edelman stressed that the Patriots must rebound quickly as they <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-england-patriots/patriots-news-does-drake-maye-have-too-much-plate-heres-what-said">prepare to face the Miami Dolphins in Week 2</a>. He highlighted the heightened expectations surrounding the franchise following the hiring of Mike Vrabel as head coach and the return of Josh McDaniels as offensive coordinator.</p><p>“This could be a good thing for them, because this was a team that’s been hyped all offseason in that region, like, ‘Oh, we’re going to the playoffs,’” Edelman said. “We have to remember that they only won four games last year. They didn’t win a lot. Every win in the National Football League is hard. This could be a good thing to give them a little humble soup to go forward and play this Miami Dolphins team and collect this division win, which counts as two in there, this division win. Use those learning points from last week. If they can correct those, that’s going to be a good thing.”</p><h2><b>Edelman defends Maye’s growth, expects Patriots’ offense to improve with time</b></h2><p>The former Super Bowl MVP defended Maye’s development and the offense’s long-term potential, noting the challenges of working with a revamped roster and a new system.</p><p>“I would expect a better performance by the offense, because I think with time, that offense is going to get better,” Edelman said. “This is just his second year. This is his second year with a new system. He’s got to learn a new system. There’s a new offensive line guy, they revamped that offensive line with Will Campbell, a young guy.</p><p>“They still have to create that nucleus of guys,” Edelman continued. “It takes some adversity sometimes to get that stuff built. This could be used in a good manner. You hate seeing them lose in the conference, but it wasn’t a division loss. If they can go out and win this week – which I expect them to play better in the division – a tough place to play because of the heat in Miami right now. But I expect them to play better this week.”</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-england-patriots/patriots-news-new-england-injury-report-gets-massive-boost-for-dolphins-game">Patriots will travel to Miami for the Dolphins’ home opener on Sunday</a>, Sept. 14, at 1:00 p.m. ET on CBS. Miami will attempt to recover from its own early setback, a 33-8 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 1.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They battled against the Las Vegas Raiders at home and lost 20-13 in a low-scoring affair. The Patriots struggled in a lot of different areas on the field in head coach <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-england-patriots/patriots-news-when-mike-vrabel-announces-plan-new-dc-terrell-williams-hiatus">Mike Vrabel’s</a> debut. New England will aim to bounce back against the Miami Dolphins, who might have had the worst start to the season of any team in the league.</p><p>The Patriots are getting some good news on Thursday ahead of their divisional battle on Sunday. The <a href="https://www.masslive.com/patriots/2025/09/two-veteran-starters-return-to-patriots-practice.html" rel="noopener">Pats saw two key players return to practice</a> after not practicing on Wednesday. Morgan Moses and Harold Landry III are still dealing with minor injuries, but returning to practice is a good sign for their availability against the Dolphins.</p><p>According to the report, Christian Gonzalez remains out with a hamstring injury. The hope is to get him back as soon as possible as he is one of the top young cornerbacks in the NFL.</p><p>Morgan Moses is a crucial addition to the offensive line if he is able to play. The Dolphins contain an elite pass rush, led by Bradley Chubb and former Patriot Mathew Judon. Patriots fans are well aware of how game-changing Judon can be when he is at his best. NE will need their veteran tackle protecting Drake Maye.</p><p>As for Landry, he has established himself as one of the best pass rushers in the NFL. He spent a good amount of time with Vrabel in Tennessee with the Titans and is now in New England with his old coach. It is not a shock to see Landry III in a Patriots uniform wreaking havoc. He finished the game against the Raiders with 2.5 sacks, five tackles, and three tackles for loss. He hit Geno Smith four times in the loss. There are not many players in the league who have had a better start with their new team outside of Aaron Rodgers and Justin Fields.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

First-year defensive coordinator <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-england-patriots/patriots-news-new-england-dc-away-due-unforeseen-ongoings">Terrell Williams is away from the team</a> for the “next few days” to undergo some tests due to an undisclosed personal matter. While the team is obviously worried about his health, head coach Mike Vrabel must also fill the role for the upcoming divisional battle.</p><p>Fans now know <a href="https://www.masslive.com/patriots/2025/09/who-will-replace-terrell-williams-as-patriots-defensive-coordinator.html" rel="noopener">when that decision will be made</a>. “(Vrabel’s) going to let you guys know Friday,” inside linebackers coach Zak Kuhr said, per MassLive.com’s Mark Daniels, when asked if he will occupy play-calling duties in Hard Rock Stadium this Sunday afternoon.</p><p>Kuhr, who previously worked with both Vrabel and Williams on the Tennessee Titans’ staff, filled in as de facto DC while Williams was dealing with an undisclosed medical condition during spring workouts. Vrabel said this current situation is unrelated to the incident in March.</p><p>There is not much time to speculate, as the Patriots plan to name a play-caller two days before they collide with the Dolphins. Whether it is Kuhr or someone else, Mike Vrabel will presumably wield some influence on defense, especially in light of these unforeseen circumstances.</p><p>The 2021 NFL Coach of the Year is a former All-Pro linebacker who won three Super Bowls with the Patriots, so he has loads of credibility to lend. Still, New England must execute on the field.</p><h2><b>Patriots have much to consider heading into Week 2 meeting with Dolphins</b></h2><p>Following an embarrassing season opener that saw Daniel Jones and the Indianapolis Colts obliterate Miami, Foxborough will expect the Pats to put forth a strong effort. An active Christian Gonzalez could have made a huge difference in Week 1, and should logically make a huge difference <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-england-patriots/patriots-vs-dolphins-bold-predictions-for-week-2-of-2025-nfl-season">in Week 2</a>. The Second-Team All-Pro cornerback is arguably the most important player on this defense, and maybe even the team.</p><p>Whoever assumes defensive coordinator responsibilities would ideally have a much easier time if Gonzalez is playing. Either way, though, the coaching staff must be better prepared as a whole to compete.</p><p>Despite their eye-opening struggles in Indy, the Dolphins still have a quarterback in Tua Tagovailoa who has led the NFL in passing yards and passer rating, a couple of dynamic wide receivers in Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle and an incredibly explosive running back in De’Von Achane.</p><p>Miami’s offense is still flowing with a rich supply of talent. Moreover, the Patriots have not beaten the Fins at home since 2019. They must be ready for a hard-fought game, which is admittedly a lot to ask following the Terrell Williams news. Thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Franchise legend Mike Vrabel returned to lead the franchise, this time with previous playoff credentials in tow from the Tennessee Titans. But he and the Pats left Week 1 <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-england-patriots/patriots-news-bill-simmons-pumps-brakes-patriots-hype-train-raiders-flop">with underwhelming results against the Las Vegas Raiders.</a></p><h2>Mike Vrabel falls to older, former Patriots coach</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Pete-Carroll-shaking-hands-with-Mike-Vrabel-.jpg"><figcaption>Bob DeChiara-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>To further boot, the Pats lost to a former head coach of the franchise in Pete Carroll. The same Carroll facing critics who believed he’s considered too old to lead an NFL franchise as an HC.</p><p>Carroll and Vrabel shared two things in common: Leading playoff runs and owning a Super Bowl ring.</p><p>Except the 74-year-old Carroll out-coached Vrabel, even in his own game.</p><p>Vrabel established a reputation as a hard-nosed defensive coach, using his linebacker past to install the personality. But Carroll unleashed a more stout defensive approach inside Gillette Stadium.</p><h2><b>Patriots have flaws with protection</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Drake-Maye-vs.-Maxx-Crosby.jpg"><figcaption>Bob DeChiara-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Drake Maye walked in as one Patriots player expected to flourish under Vrabel.

Others are questioning if the quarterback has the right protection up front.</p><p>The 2024 Raiders delivered three four-to-five sack performances last season — all three occurring after Thanksgiving. Carroll and returning defensive coordinator Patrick Graham got Vegas to hit the four mark on Sunday. The Raiders took advantage of Maye’s knack for stepping into the pocket instead of escaping it when under duress.</p><p>The high number of sacks leaves fans wondering if Vrabel must tinker with the trenches. And for this next reason.</p><h2>Patriots run game ineffective</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Patriots-head-coach-Mike-Vrabel.jpg"><figcaption>Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Vrabel not long ago rode the legs and power of Derrick Henry. The duo produced multiple playoff runs together, including the run to the AFC Championship game in the 2019 season.</p><p>The head coach obviously doesn’t have a Henry-like back in Foxborough. He did have savvy veteran Rhamondre Stevenson and talented rookie TreyVeyon Henderson to work with.</p><p>But the front five created minimal running run against the Silver and Black.

Meanwhile, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/dolphins-rumors-panic-button-not-smacked-yet-but-that-could-change">Miami Dolphins crumbled against the Indianapolis Colts,</a> setting up for a showdown against the Pats. With the Patriots versus the Dolphins game scheduled for Week 2, both teams will want to get going after stumbling early. This Patriots-Dolphins Week 2 preview will go into the details of what might happen. Also, the Patriots-Dolphins bold predictions will cover potential highlights for the weekend.</p><p>Miami<a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/nfl" rel="noopener"> is the favorite</a> against New England, according to FanDuel. Overall, it’s tough to see the Fins as the favorites in anything. Their <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/dolphins-news-rob-gronkowski-rips-terrible-miami-ugly-week-1-loss">horrible Week 1 performance</a> has left fans stunned. However, history has shown that teams don’t always perform consistently, good or bad, from week to week. Moreover, some teams do better against other teams, especially divisional rivals.</p><p>This Patriots-Dolphins Week 2 preview offers three bold predictions for what to expect this week. Now, it’s time for some Patriots-Dolphins bold predictions for this AFC East showdown in Miami.</p><h2><b>Tua Tagovailoa will have a fantastic game</b></h2><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/dolphins-most-blame-embarrassing-week-1-loss-colts">Tua Tagovailoa was one of the Dolphins’ players to blame</a> in an ugly loss to the Colts. Unfortunately, he was awful, going 14-for-23 with 114 yards passing while throwing one touchdown and two interceptions in the defeat. It’s no secret that Tagovailoa was awful. However, he has bounced back before. More importantly, he has done well recently against the Pats at home.</p><p>Tagovailoa went 29-for-40 with 317 yards and four touchdowns in a 34-15 win on November 24, 2024, at Hard Rock Stadium. Before that, he went 30-for-45 with 324 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception on October 29, 2023. Tagovailoa went 23-for-33 with 270 yards and one touchdown on September 11, 2022. Significantly, Tagovailoa is 7-0 against the Patriots throughout his career.</p><p>The quarterback has done great work against New England. While he struggled in Week 1, there is reason to believe that he can bounce back. It will be the home opener for the Fins, and that might provide more motivation for Tagovailoa to respond accordingly after a porous outing in Week 1 in Indianapolis.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Patriots-quarterback-Drake-Maye_6f5d03.jpg"><figcaption>Brian Fluharty-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><h2><b>Drake Maye performs well against the Dolphins</b></h2><p>On the other side, Drake Maye will also be looking for his first win of the season. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-england-patriots/patriots-news-what-mike-vrabel-not-do-drake-maye-week-1-loss">Maye is processing the loss to the Raiders,</a> but it was not a bad performance. Overall, he completed 30-for-46 passes for 287 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. The interception was an errant overthrow that sailed over his receiver’s head and into the hands of a defender. Yet, there is a chance he can do better.</p><p>Maye had similar stats against the Dolphins last season. Notably, he went 22-for-37 for 222 yards passing with one touchdown and one interception while taking four sacks. It was his first and only time facing the Fins, and he was not able to keep up with Tagovailoa. Yet, there is a chance he could do more in this game.</p><p>This Miami defense does not look close to the one that was solid in 2024. Moreover, Daniel Jones exploited many weaknesses in the scheme and showed the blueprint for moving the football down the field against the Fins. Maye is still a young quarterback, but he has a chance to make a statement in an AFC East clash with a rival that is also seeking its first win. Maye will shine in Miami this weekend.</p><h2><b>The Patriots vs. the Dolphins game will be a rout. </b></h2><p>Last season, the Pats narrowly lost to the Dolphins 15-10 at Foxboro. But the Fins demolished the Patriots at home. Looking back on the last few matches between the Pats and Fins, that has become a singular pattern that has continued.</p><p>The Dolphins defeated the Patriots 34-15 in Miami last season. Before that, the Fins defeated the Pats 31-17 on October 29, 2023, at Hard Rock Stadium. The Dolphins also routed the Patriots 20-7 on September 11, 2021. Likewise, the Fins won 22-12 over the Pats on December 20, 2020, in Miami.</p><p>Ever since Bill Belichick left the organization, the Dolphins have dominated this series. Despite the ugly loss in Week 1, history has shown that teams usually bounce back after blowout losses. The Dolphins are in a weird place where they are not contenders, but are not rebuilding, either. Therefore, it gives more reason to the fact that there is a good chance the Fins could not only bounce back, but dominate the Patriots.</p><p>Tagovailoa will bounce back, and the Dolphins will implement a strong running game, led by De’von Achane, to generate some offense. Then, the defense will answer the call and find a way to contain Maye, forcing him into mistakes. While many believe the Patriots could snag this game, it’s important to realize that every week is different.

His words came as head coach Mike Vrabel confirmed his readiness for the opener.</p><p>Against the Raiders on Sunday, Patriots wide receivers’ return to action became the focal point. <a href="https://x.com/MikeReiss/status/1965831307684118991" rel="noopener">Speaking from the locker room afterward</a>, in comments published on X, formerly Twitter, by ESPN’s Mike Reiss, he provided the update fans had been waiting for about his surgically repaired knee.</p><p>”Felt good,” Diggs said. ”I actually missed the contact portion of it, as far as getting hit in a little bit. I look forward to getting back out there.”</p><p>Diggs also commented on his <a href="https://x.com/zm_cox/status/1965839620635021753" rel="noopener">first game with his new team</a>, in remarks reported on X, formerly Twitter, by Zack Cox of the Boston Herald.</p><p>”Obviously, getting tackled helps a lot. I didn’t want to escape that game without getting hit a little bit, so I was seeking a little bit of contact. And I don’t really love to get hit at all — obviously, I play receiver — but I needed it a little bit. I needed to get out there and hit the ground a little bit, catch a couple passes. So for me, I’m just trying to build off it.”</p><p>In limited action, he logged 29 snaps, catching six passes on seven targets, a promising sign of both health and chemistry with quarterback Drake Maye.</p><p>Though New England ultimately fell 20-13 to Las Vegas, Diggs’ performance was one of the few positives in a frustrating opener. For a player who <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-england-patriots/patriots-news-stefon-diggs-brutally-honest-surprisingly-speedy-acl-recovery">tore his ACL last October</a>, simply being back on the field was an accomplishment.</p><p>”I feel like the worst has already happened,” he reflected in camp, explaining how the rehab process prepared him mentally to play freely again.</p><p>Now, with Week 1 in the rearview, the challenge shifts to building consistency in New England’s offense. For Diggs, the mission is simple: stay healthy and lead by example.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

On Tuesday, he announced that he got engaged to his girlfriend.</p><p>“’Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.’ Proverbs‬ ‭31‬:‭30‬‭💍,” posted the Patriots newcomer on Instagram, while also showing a picture from their engagement.</p><p>His fiancee proudly showed off the ring.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="instagram-media"><div style="padding: 16px;"> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DOZT67jj0AG/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" style="line-height: 0; padding: 0 0; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; width: 100%;" target="_blank"> <div style="display: flex;"><div style="background-color: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 50%; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"></div><div style="display: flex;"><div style="background-color: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 4px; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;"></div><div style="background-color: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 4px; height: 14px; width: 60px;"></div></div></div><div style="padding: 19% 0;"></div><div style="display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;"></div><div style="padding-top: 8px;"><div style="color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;">View this post on Instagram</div></div><div style="padding: 12.5% 0;"></div><div style="display: flex; margin-bottom: 14px;"><div><div></div><div></div><div></div></div><div style="margin-left: 8px;"><div style="background-color: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 50%; height: 20px; width: 20px;"></div><div></div></div><div style="margin-left: auto;"><div></div><div></div><div></div></div></div><div style="display: flex; margin-bottom: 24px;"><div style="background-color: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 4px; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;"></div><div style="background-color: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 4px; height: 14px; width: 144px;"></div></div><p></p></a><p style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; white-space: nowrap;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DOZT67jj0AG/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">A post shared by TreVeyon Henderson (@trey.h.4)</a></p></div></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://instagram.com/embed.js"></script></p></figure><p>Friends swiftly congratulated Henderson on the life-changing milestone, including NFL insider Jordan Schultz and his former teammates at Ohio, quarterback Lincoln Kienholz and tight end Zak Herbstreit.</p><p>The Patriots also showed love by commenting two heart emojis.</p><p>Henderson figured heavily in New England’s schemes versus the Raiders.

The biggest thing is recovering and getting ready for this upcoming week.”</p><p>He noted that he’s still learning the system, but he’s eager to put in the work and be a sponge. He also acknowledged their holes against Las Vegas but maintained a positive outlook heading into Week 2 against the Miami Dolphins.</p><p>“We definitely may not have run the ball as well as we wanted to. It’s something we have to continue to work on,” added Henderson. “It’s the first game. There’s definitely going to be a lot of mistakes out there, a lot of things we could’ve done better. The biggest thing is being consistent with the preparation each week and not just go downhill.”</p><p>Talk about being engaged.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

McDaniel gave an update on the veteran tight end’s status.</p><p>“He’s trying to play as best he can in this next one. If he can’t, we’ll try to play him (Week 3 TNF at Buffalo).”</p><p>The Dolphins opened the 2025 NFL season with a 33-8 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, as the entire offense struggled to find any rhythm. Miami managed just 114 passing yards, three turnovers, and less than 21 minutes of possession, highlighting how much the unit needs Waller’s presence. The Patriots, who fell 20-13 to the Las Vegas Raiders in their opener, will now test a Dolphins offense still searching for answers.</p><p>The injury of the veteran tight end carries weight not only because of his resume but also because of his potential fit in the Miami offense. Waller has caught 350 passes for 4,124 yards and 20 touchdowns in his career, with a 1,196-yard season in 2020 that earned him a Pro Bowl selection. If available, he could provide Tua Tagovailoa with a reliable middle-of-the-field option and a proven red-zone target.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/dolphins-news-darren-waller-surprise-injury-update-colts-matchup">If Waller is cleared</a>, expectations would likely involve a pitch count, with scripted packages for third downs and red-zone situations. His ability to command coverage would also create openings for Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, both limited in Week 1 by Indianapolis’ coverage schemes.</p><p>If Waller is held out again, Miami may lean more on De’Von Achane in the check-down game and design plays to create yards after the catch for Hill and Waddle. Either way, Week 2 against New England already feels like a pivotal moment for the Dolphins, who are trying to avoid an 0-2 start in the AFC East.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
