Dolphins place TE Darren Waller on injured reserve

The Miami Dolphins placed veteran tight end Darren Waller (groin) on injured reserve on Friday ahead of their season finale against the New England Patriots.

Waller, 33, came out of retirement this season to join the Dolphins and played in nine games (three starts), catching 24 of 34 targets for 283 yards and six touchdowns. He had an earlier stint on injured reserve because of a pectoral injury in Week 7 against the Cleveland Browns and missed four games.

For his career, Waller has 374 receptions for 4,407 yards and 26 touchdowns in 95 regular-season games for the Baltimore Ravens (2015-16), Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders (2018-22), New York Giants (2023) and Dolphins. He was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2020 with the Raiders.

Baltimore selected him in the sixth round of the 2015 NFL Draft out of Georgia Tech.

In other moves on Friday, the Dolphins (7-9) signed running back Donovan Edwards to the active roster off the Washington Commanders' practice squad and released cornerback Clarence Lewis from the practice squad.

Miami coach Mike McDaniel said running back De'Von Achane (shoulder) will not practice Friday and is a game-time decision, while wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (ribs) will be limited and is questionable to play at New England (13-3) on Sunday.
