Miami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle

Waddle was a limited participant in the Miami Dolphins' training session on Tuesday. That's a big boost for the team ahead of their crunch matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Waddle missed the last two regular-season games for Miami. Although he was in contention to play in Week 18 against the Buffalo Bills, the Dolphins opted against risking their star wideout, as they had already qualified for the playoffs.

Miami eventually lost to Buffalo in the final regular season game, which cost it the AFC East title.
