However, they are going to have to win their final three games to even have a shot at finding their way in, and things are likely going to be a bit more difficult than the team would like based on the latest <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dolphins-news-mike-mcdaniel-jaylen-waddle-injury-update">injury update for star wide receiver Jaylen Waddle</a>.</p><p>It’s been a trying season for the speedy wideout, who has not managed to make the impact expected from him in Miami’s high-flying passing game. Things got even worse for him when <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dolphins-news-jaylen-waddle-frustrated-reaction-knee-injury">Waddle suffered a knee injury</a> against the Texans, and with a big contest in Week 16 approaching, Waddle has been <a href="https://x.com/CameronWolfe/status/1870165242996461972" rel="noopener">listed as doubtful</a>, meaning the Dolphins will likely be without one of their top offensive playmakers.</p><p>“Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle is doubtful to play in Sunday’s game vs. 49ers with a knee injury. Starting OTs Terron Armstead (knee) and Kendall Lamm (back) are questionable after both missed last week’s game,” Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reported in a post on X, formerly Twitter.</p><h2><b>Jaylen Waddle’s potential absence is not good news for the Dolphins</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Dolphins-wide-receiver-Jaylen-Waddle.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Troy Taormina-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Waddle’s numbers on the year aren’t bad, as he’s hauled in 54 receptions for 700 yards and two touchdowns, but they are a far cry from what he’s capable of. The talented wide receiver had racked up at least 1,000 yards in each of his first three seasons, including last year when he played in just 14 games. Waddle likely wouldn’t hit that mark even if he played in Miami’s final three games.</p><p>Of course, it seems unlikely he will play on Sunday, with Tyreek Hill set to shoulder an even bigger workload on offense for the Dolphins. The team has left the door open for Waddle to find his way onto the field since he hasn’t officially been ruled out, but it’s clear there’s not a lot of optimism surrounding his Week 16 status, which could make picking up a win over the San Francisco 49ers even more difficult.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Dolphins had chance after chance to win the game against the Houston Texans, but ended up losing 20-12.</p><p>This loss drops the Dolphins to 6-8 on the season and effectively ends their hopes of making a late charge towards a wild card spot in the AFC playoffs, but that wasn’t the only bad news to come out of the game. Star wide receiver <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dolphins-news-jaylen-waddle-frustrated-reaction-knee-injury">Jaylen Waddle went down</a> with a knee injury during the game as well, and Dolphins fans anxiously waited for an update on the speedster.</p><p>Fortunately, head coach Mike McDaniel said on Monday that Waddle’s injury <a href="https://x.com/schadjoe/status/1868740015196631419" rel="noopener">isn’t serious</a>, according to Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post.</p><p>“Not major. Not surgery. But in question for this week. Day to day,” McDaniel said, per Schad.</p><p>That is welcome news for a Dolphins team that still has a path to the playoffs, but it is now very far-fetched after Sunday’s loss. Miami is now two games behind the Los Angeles Chargers for the final AFC Wild Card spot with just three games to play, so <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dolphins-news-mike-mcdaniel-tyreek-hill-game-losing-interception">McDaniel and company will need a lot of help</a> in order to get back to the postseason.</p><p>Even with both Waddle and Tyreek Hill in the lineup, the Dolphins haven’t been able to get the explosive production down the field as they have in past seasons. Tua Tagovailoa is throwing the ball short more than ever and tight end Jonnu Smith is now a featured weapon in the Dolphins’ passing game. As a result, defenses have been able to bog this Dolphins offense down as they can’t run the ball effectively or hurt them over the top.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dolphins-news-tua-tagovailoa-mike-mcdaniel-honest-career-high-4-turnovers">Tagovailoa had one of the worst games of his career</a> on Sunday, turning the ball over four times in the loss. Those four turnovers included a fumble that set up a Houston touchdown and two interceptions while driving to tie the game, one of them coming in the red zone. Tagovailoa also threw a bad pass that resulted in a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dolphins-news-grant-dubose-movement-extremities-night-hospital">serious injury for wide receiver Grant DuBose</a>.</p><p>If the Dolphins want to get back into the playoff picture, they will need better play from their quarterback moving forward. Getting Hill and Waddle more involved in the offense would go a long way towards starting to get the arrow pointed in the right direction.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Considering the AFC playoff hunt, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dolphins-news-mike-mcdaniel-tyreek-hill-game-losing-interception">Dolphins’ defeat at NRG Stadium</a> was a missed opportunity. This defeat occurred as the seventh-seeded Los Angeles Chargers lost against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now, Tua Tagovailoa and the company will seemingly have to win out to give themselves a reasonable chance to make it to the postseason.</p><p>Jaylen Waddle’s departure definitely hurt Miami’s chances. The Dolphins could only muster twelve points on the road and committed four turnovers. Waddle left the game with a right knee injury in the first half. He had two targets and zero receptions before this setback. According to Miami Dolphins beat reporter for the Sun Sentinel David Furones, Mike McDaniel <a href="https://x.com/DavidFurones_/status/1868408547719188921" rel="noopener">revealed that</a> Jaylen Waddle was “super frustrated” about his knee injury. Miami’s head coach could not provide a further medical update beyond that.</p><h2><b>The Dolphins need a lot of help to get into the postseason</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Dolphins-coach-Mike-McDaniel.jpg"><figcaption>Thomas Shea-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>On a very somber note, Miami Dolphins wideout <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dolphins-news-tua-tagovailoa-grant-duboses-head-injury" rel="noopener">Grant DuBose left the game</a> with a head injury. The second-year wide receiver out of Charlotte took a scary hit during the third quarter. DuBose was subsequently transported to the hospital. The Montgomery, Alabama native <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/15/sport/miami-dolphins-grant-dubose-head-injury-spt/index.html" rel="noopener">is currently in stable condition</a>. Thoughts and prayers go out to DuBose and his family.</p><p>Mike McDaniel’s team had an opportunity to get within a game of the playoffs on Sunday. At 6-8 now, Miami is the ninth-place team in the AFC. The two teams the franchise will need to jump are the 6-8 Indianapolis Colts and 8-6 Los Angeles Chargers. Luckily for the Dolphins, they hold the tiebreaker over the Chargers, so they do not need Los Angeles to lose out to get in. However, that scenario would be ideal.</p><p>Miami’s last three games will be against teams in dire straights. The most challenging matchup is the first one, which is at home against the San Francisco 49ers. The perennial Super Bowl contenders have had a dismal season, sparking speculation that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/49ers-news-has-sf-lost-the-locker-room-after-devondre-campbell-incident-kyle-shanahan-weighs-in">head coach Kyle Shannahan has lost the locker room</a>. Despite this adversity, San Francisco has not been eliminated from the NFC West hunt. This proud franchise will enter this game in the Sunshine State very motivated.</p><p>The Dolphins’ last two games are on the road against the Cleveland Browns and New York Jets. Both franchises are eliminated from playoff contention and would probably be better served with a loss. However, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-aaron-rodgers-special-truth-bomb-after-finally-closing-out-win">Jets are coming off a win at Jacksonville</a> on Sunday. Miami already won the previous affair between the two AFC East rivals in a 32-26 thriller at home.</p><p>Overall, the Dolphins need a healthy Jaylen Waddle to win out and give themselves a chance to sneak into the postseason. The star wideout is looking to extend his streak of consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons to four. At 700 yards with only three games left, Waddle must be 100% to keep that streak intact.</p><p>In addition, Tua Tagovailia will need help rebounding from his brutal, three-interception affair on Sunday. If the Dolphins don’t bounce back from this loss, the franchise will have a lot of soul-searching to do over the offseason.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

And following the win, Waddle had a very confident response to his slow start to the year, per Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post.</p><p>“We’ve got a lot of playmakers on the team, so somebody is normally gonna have a day,” Waddle said in his postgame conference. “If it’s not [Jonnu Smith], then it’s [Tyreek Hill], then it’s [De’Von Achane], [Raheem Mostert], we’ve got a lot of playmakers.

And while the Dolphins haven’t had the best season thus far, their three-game winning streak is nothing to scoff at.</p><h2><b>Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle not worried about individual goals</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Jaylen-Waddle_3934b1.jpg"><figcaption>Jasen Vinlove-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>As a four-year veteran on the Dolphins, Waddle isn’t a selfish player, and he made note of that following the team’s win against their divisional opponent on Sunday.</p><p>“I was more frustrated from the losses than individual goals,” Waddle said. “That’s more like a media thing, really.”</p><p>So, it’s safe to say Waddle is less frustrated now that the Dolphins are back on track after facing six losses from Week 2-9.</p><p>Now, it’s easy to say one isn’t frustrated amid a three-game winning streak, but it’ll be interesting to see if Waddle continues this humble perspective if the Dolphins start to revert to their early-season selves.</p><p>The return of Tua Tagovailoa <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/41667926/miami-dolphins-offense-floundering-tua-tagovailoa" rel="noopener">clearly helped</a> Miami’s offense, and with Waddle’s performance highly linked to the quarterback’s performance, it’s not shocking to hear the wide receiver is in good spirits.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Bass, who has been struggling with his accuracy all year long, was 3-for-3 on his field goal attempts but missed an extra point earlier in the game. The 61-yarder set a new career-long for Bass, whose previous record of 58 yards was set in his rookie season.</p><p>The Dolphins would run one final desperation play that ended in Waddle getting taken down well behind the line of scrimmage. The last play of the game led to Waddle ending the game with negative four receiving yards.</p><p>The loss dropped the Dolphins to 2-6 on the year and 0-2 since Tagovailoa returned from injured reserve in Week 8. Miami is now third in the AFC East, only above the 2-7 New England Patriots, who fell to the Tennessee Titans in overtime in Week 9.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
