At 6-8, the Dolphins' playoff odds are slim but still alive. The loss of Waddle — along with last week's scare to Grant DuBose that landed him on injured reserve along with Braxton Berrios and the Odell Beckham Jr. experiment having officially failed — leaves Tua Tagovailoa's options severely limited.

The Miami Dolphins' offense may be without a few keys players Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. On Friday, the team listed wide receiver Jaylen Waddle as doubtful and listed wide receiver Tyreek Hill and offensive tackles Terron Armstead and Kendall Lamm

“Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle is doubtful to play in Sunday’s game vs. 49ers with 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.
