Jaylen Waddle injury update

As per reports, Jaylen Waddle returned to the game after getting evaluated for a head injury. He hasn't suffered a concussion and is eligible to play the rest of the game.

Waddle is an important player for the Dolphins, and his presence on the field makes things easy for both Tyreek Hill and Tua Tagovailoa.

So far, the Dolphins have failed to score any points in the game against the Jaguars, and they need to quickly get back on track. Given the strength of their schedule, winning at home in Week 1 is crucial for their playoff aspirations.

At the time of writing, Waddle had two receptions for 32 yards on two targets. He will be much more involved in the second half where the Dolphins will try to bounce back after a slow start to the game.

Before the game, Tyreek Hill was held by the police while he was driving his car to the stadium. Reports indicate that the Dolphins wideout was stopped for reckless driving and given the severity of the situation, the Miami police department will undergo a thorough investigation.
