Returns to limited practice

Waddle (knee) was limited at practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Waddle, who was sidelined for this past weekend's win over the 49ers, was deemed a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, but his return to a limited session a day later offers hope that he could return to action Sunday against the Browns. Also limited Thursday was Tyreek Hill (wrist/rest), with added context regarding the duo's Week 17 statuses set to arrive via Friday's final injury report.
At practice Thursday

Waddle (knee) was present for Thursday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Waddle, who was inactive for Week 16 action, was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, but the wideout's presence on the field a day later offers hope that he will return to action Sunday against the Browns. The Dolphins' upcoming injury report is slated to reveal Waddle's official participation level Thursday.
'DNP' on practice estimate

Waddle (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Waddle, who was inactive for this past weekend's win over the 49ers, thus has two more chances to log practice participation ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns. If the wideout remains out in Week 17, Malik Washington would once again be in line to see added opportunities in Miami's passing offense.
Inactive Sunday

Waddle (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers. With Waddle and Dee Eskridge (knee) both inactive, Tyreek Hill and Malik Washington are in line to lead Miami's Week 16 wideout corps, while River Cracraft and Erik Ezukanma are also available to mix in. Waddle sustained the knee injury that will sideline him Sunday during Week 15 action, and he'll now target a potential return to action next Sunday against the Browns.
Doubtful for Week 16

Fellow wideout Tyreek Hill (wrist/personal) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, while Waddle (knee) is doubtful for the contest, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports. With Waddle -- who didn't practice this week -- as well as Dee Eskridge (knee, doubtful) trending toward being out this weekend and Hill's status now uncertain, Malik Washington and River Cracraft currently are the healthiest wideout options that Miami currently rosters. Considering that, practice-squad members Tarik Black, Erik Ezukanma and Isaiah McKenzie are candidates to be elevated ahead of Week 16 action.
Doubtful for Sunday

Head coach Mike McDaniel relayed Friday that Waddle (knee) will be listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports. With Waddle trending toward being unavailable for Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, it appears as though Malik Washington is poised to see an expanded workload alongside top wideout Tyreek Hill (wrist/personal, questionable) in Week 16. Waddle was forced out of the Dolphins' loss to the Texans last Sunday after logging 26 snaps and zero catches on two targets.
Not seen early on at practice Friday

Waddle (knee) wasn't spotted during the brief media-access portion of Friday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Waddle didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, so at this stage his status for Sunday's game against the 49ers is cloudy. If Waddle is unavailable Week 16, Malik Washington would be in line to see an expanded role in Miami's passing offense alongside top WR Tyreek Hill.
Misses another practice

Waddle (knee) didn't practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Waddle also missed practice Wednesday, which sets the stage for Friday's session to loom large in terms of the wideout's chances of playing Sunday against the 49ers. If Waddle -- who head coach Mike McDaniel has called day-to-day -- is unavailable this weekend, Malik Washington would be in line to see an expanded role behind top WR Tyreek Hill.
Won't practice, day-to-day

Waddle (knee) won't practice Wednesday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports. Head coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that the knee injury Waddle sustained in the Week 15 loss to the Texans is "not major, not surgery-related," and McDaniel referred to the wideout as day-to-day Wednesday. The coach added that he's hopeful Waddle could be available this weekend, but the receiver's status for Sunday's game against the 49ers is still undetermined at this juncture. If Waddle ends up sidelined in Week 16, Malik Washington would step into an expanded role behind No. 1 receiver Tyreek Hill.
