Miami Dolphins coaches have been impressed with progress from rookie DT Kenneth Grant. Elsewhere, WR Jaylen Waddle has a new injury surface.
Tua Tagovailoa explained that his height affected his ability to see receivers like Jaylen Waddle during plays, contributing to Waddle's four targets in Miami's loss.
"Two names I am hearing as trade targets are Jaylen Waddle of the Miami Dolphins and Calvin Ridley of the Tennessee Titans ," Pauline reports. "According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the Dolphins don't plan on trading Waddle, but that could change if Miami continues to lose and the right deal is placed in front of them."
The news on Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (hamstrings) is encouraging considering the passing game has been slowed by injuries to WR Tyreek Hll (knee) and TE Darren Waller (pectoral).
In less-than-ideal conditions in Cleveland, Tagovailoa threw three interceptions and was benched during the game. Tagovailoa did not blame weather, however, for his lack of throws toward Waddle. Instead, he pointed to his height as the reason he didn't get the ball more to Waddle.
"I’m not the tallest guy in the back there either, so being able to see and then sometimes when that happens, you don’t want to just throw it blindly and you’ve got to progress. I think that had some merit to reasons as to why that happened for Waddle.
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa revealed that he experienced issues with finding receiver Jaylen Waddle downfield during the team's 31-6 loss to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
