Darren Waller Likely Out Sunday; Grier Fumbled Another One

Darren Waller Likely Out Sunday; Grier Fumbled Another OneMike McDaniel said on Friday at his media session that it isnt likely tight end Darren Waller will play on Sunday for the Dolphins.While trying to avoid a setback and limiting his practice reps, Waller suffered a setback and has a hip injury.This news has Miami Dolphins fans feeling like we have been down this road before, and recently with Odell Beckham Jr just last year.Beckham signed with Miami injured and started the season on IR, missing the first month of games.Will Waller end up being placed on IR? Who knows.Was Waller injured when he was traded and then signed a contract with the Dolphins?We dont know, but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, well, you know the rest.What I do know is the Dolphins could have avoided this entire mess and spent resources on a tight end who wasnt out of the sport for a full year and someone who was physically ready to compete from day one.Now, the Dolphins tight end room entering the season is, well, a mess.Waller was out of the league last year and retired.He retired to focus on his rap career.He said he would only come back to the NFL to play for the Dolphins.Yes, this was shortly after Miami traded away Jonnu Smith, so the need for a tight end was there.And Waller, before retiring, was a decent tight end who made plays in the passing game.But still, he was retired, and you had to trade for him, late round pick or not; something seemed fishy.A few red flags here, and it wasnt adding up.The Dolphins came out and said Dont worry, he will be fine.Wallers agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said Dont worry, he will be fine.Waller then started training camp on PUP, again a red flag.Rosenhaus went on TV and calmed people down again, saying Dont worry.Mike McDaniel spoke to the media and said, Waller isnt hurt, we want to bring him back slowly.Again, it wasnt adding up.More red flags.So he isnt hurt but on PUP, ok, I guess.Then they take him off of PUP, but he wasnt participating in practice each day.Again, more red flags.Then McDaniel said they didnt want Wallers first practice back to be in a joint practice.This week, it was revealed that Miami hasnt allowed Waller to practice more than three consecutive days.Yesterday, the first injury report was released.And Darren Waller is listed as having a hip injury.And Mike McDaniel, when speaking to the press, says, Well, Waller wont practice today (Wednesday), but should be good to go on Thursday.And Waller then didnt practice on Thursday.Dont pee on my leg and tell me its raining.Waller isnt healthy.And on Friday, McDaniel confirmed Waller will likely not play vs the Colts on Sunday.Its par for the course for Chris Grier.These low-risk/high-reward type deals never work out.They always blow up in Miamis face.The post Darren Waller Likely Out Sunday; Grier Fumbled Another One appeared first on Miami Dolphins..
