Dolphins injury report vs. Bengals: Darren Waller, Minkah Fitzpatrick, and others listed

Although neither team will be playing for their playoff hopes, the Miami Dolphins (6-8) will square off against the Cincinnati Bengals (4-10) in Week 16.

There will be much to look forward to for the Dolphins, as rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers is in line to make his first career start. Zach Wilson will serve as the backup, while Tua Tagovailoa will be used as the emergency third string.

Heading into the new week, both teams will be looking to bounce back from losses. Neither the Dolphins nor the Bengals has been the healthiest of teams. On Friday, a new injury report has been released for the matchup.

Darren Waller ruled in, Minkah Fitzpatrick ruled out for Dolphins in Week 16 vs. Bengals

Dolphins tight end Darren Waller has been an uncertainty all week while he's battled a knee injury. Waller put together an impressive eight receptions for 66 yards and two touchdowns in Week 15's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

However, the Friday injury report for the game says that Waller, alongside De'Von Achane (ribs), Ollie Gordon (ankle), Kenneth Grant (shoulder), and five other Dolphins players will suit up for Week 16.

Meanwhile, Jordyn Brooks (foot/knee), Elijah Campbell (ankle/knee), Jason Myers (hip), and three others are listed as questionable.

Minkah Fitzpatrick (calf) will miss his first game of the 2025 season.

On the Bengals' side of things, Shemar Stewart (knee), Semaje Perine (ankle), and Joe Burrow (knee) will be among four others who will play.

Tee Higgins (concussion), B.J. Hill (ankle), and PJ Jules (ankle) are questionable.
