Miami Dolphins tight end Darren Waller is week-to-week after an MRI showed a strained pectoral muscle and not a full tear, NFL Network reported Monday.

Waller, 33, sustained the injury during Sunday's 31-6 loss at Cleveland and did not catch a pass, ending his streak of three straight games with at least one touchdown.

After coming out of retirement, Waller caught 10 passes for 117 yards and four touchdowns in his first three games for Miami from Weeks 4-6.

A Pro Bowl selection with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2020, Waller has 360 catches for 4,241 yards and 24 scores in 90 games (64 starts) with the Baltimore Ravens (2015-16), Raiders (2018-22), New York Giants (2023) and Dolphins. He did not play during the 2024 season.
