Dolphins' Star Wide Receivers Expected to Play in Week 5

The Miami Dolphins passing attack may be without quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in their Week 5 matchup against the New York Jets, but at least they should have their two superstar pass catchers to help backup Teddy Bridgewater. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are both expected to play on Sunday despite their questionable tags on Friday's final injury report.

Dolphins’ WRs Tyreek Hill (quad) and Jaylen Waddle (groin), both listed as questionable for Sunday, both are expected to play vs. the Jets barring any pregame setbacks, per sources.

Hill had been dealing with a hamstring injury, and Waddle was limited by a groin injury. Neither had missed meaningful time. In fact, both played season-highs in snap percentage in the Dolphins' Week 4 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals: Waddle was in on 86% of the offensive snaps, and Hill played an impressive 90%.

Doesn't matter who's at QB, Tyreek's gonna put up numbers 😂

Hill and Waddle have been sensational across the first four weeks of the regular season, combining for 214.6 receiving yards per game. The Dolphins will hope the two superstars can lift up backup quarterback Teddy Bridgewater while Tua Tagovailoa recuperates from a frightening head injury suffered against the Bengals.
