Is Jaylen Waddle playing tonight? Why Dolphins wide receiver is off to quiet start

There was no shortage of concern about the Week 3 status of Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle ahead of the Thursday night contest against the Buffalo Bills.

Waddle popped up on the injury report on Tuesday and was limited for the last two practices of the week before drawing a questionable tag.

However, Waddle was ultimately given the green light to play. Despite that, he has been nowhere to be found over the Dolphins' first few drives.

So, what's going on with the Dolphins wide receiver?

Is Jaylen Waddle playing tonight?

Yes, Waddle is active and in the lineup, he just hasn't been targeted yet over the first few drives.

The Dolphins went run-heavy on the first drive and only Tua Tagovailoa only targeted Tyreek Hill, Malik Washington and De'Von Achane.

Then, on the second drive, the Dolphins had a quick three-and-out.

Hopefully Waddle can get going sooner rather than later.
