Raheem Mostert injury update: Will Miami Dolphins RB play in Week 8 vs. Patriots?

Miami Dolphins starting running back Raheem Mostert started the 2023 season at a frightening pace. The veteran backfield star was on pace for 1,000 plus rushing yards and 15 rushing touchdowns this season until injuries struck.

However, before Friday's practice session, Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel told reporters that Mostert was "getting himself ready for Sunday; he's very good at that. I was very happy with the way he looked yesterday. We'll see how that plays out."

We will take the coach's word for it and expect Mostert to be a handful for Bill Belichick's team on Sunday.


Jaylen Waddle injury update: Will Dolphins WR play in Week 8 vs. Patriots?

Miami Dolphins pass catcher Jaylen Waddle is arguably the second fastest player in the NFL, behind you know who. Unfortunately for Waddle and Miami fans, the Alabama Crimson Tide alum hasn't had the best luck with injuries this season.

However, David Furones of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports that Waddle does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Patriots. That spells fantastic news for the Dolphins, as Waddle's absence for most of the team's Week 7 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles proved a difference-maker.


Tyreek Hill injury update: Will Dolphins WR play in Week 8 vs. Patriots?

The undisputed fastest player in the NFL and perhaps the fastest in history. Tyreek Hill is the best player in Miami, and his talents have been utilized to perfection in 2023. The former Kansas City Chiefs WR1 has been phenomenal in Mike McDaniel's offense, and he serves as quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's primary weapon.

Hill missed some training sessions this week, but ahead of the Patriots game, he has been cleared to participate. The perennial Pro Bowler even did a little dance at Thursday's practice, removing the doubts of a back injury hindering his play.
