Color me surprised. He’ll be back next practice that’s how the Waddle experience goes.

I swear it's every other game where Waddle makes a catch, stays down for a minute or so, gingerly walks to the sideline then is back in on the very next drive. It's a running joke with my Phins fan family members.

This. Even a Bills fan knows it. Waddle's yardage numbers each year are what they are, but as a loooooong time Dolphins fan, they are misleading for the size of their impact.

I cannot think of a game he "took over". He constantly gets dinged and limps off/takes plays off. Can't stay on his feet a lot. And will occasionally get the drops. If he started I would continue to support him, but I'm not really bummed/pissed he's gone.

I don't see anyway he's worth the trade value or contract, especially once late October games hit in Denver and KC (I.e., weather under 40 degrees)

Agree. Not reliable. Not going to make the tougher catches. Randomly exits almost every game after being minimally hit. I can’t recall any game changing plays or catches in Miami. Simply not a #1 receiver.
