Miami Dolphins Injury Update: Key Players Day to Day, Mattison Out for Season

The Miami Dolphins are dealing with several injury updates as they prepare for joint practices with the Detroit Lions this week.

Running back Alexander Mattison suffered a season-ending neck injury, but head coach Mike McDaniel clarified it is not career-ending. The team will now adjust its backfield rotation as they prepare for the season without Mattison.

Wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are both considered day to day and could participate in this week’s joint practice with the Lions. Their status will be closely monitored, as having both healthy is crucial for the Dolphins’ passing game.

Tight end Darren Waller will not return this week, while safety Elijah Campbell is also listed as day to day. McDaniel’s updates suggest the team is taking a cautious approach with several key players as they balance practice reps and recovery.
