The Dolphins don’t expect to see wide receiver Will Fuller return this season, according to head coach Brian Flores (via Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald). Fuller, who has been out with a broken finger since early October, has suffered a setback in his recovery that will require even more rest. 
Fuller has struggled to stay healthy throughout his career. Even before the finger fracture, he already missed 29 regular season games. Now, he’s looking at more than 40 missed games between 2016 and 2021.
The Dolphins had high hopes for Fuller, who enjoyed his best season to date in 2020. After he notched 879 receiving yards and career-high eight scores for the Texans, the ‘Fins inked him to a one-year, $10.6MM deal. His season will end with a grand total of four catches for 26 yards in two games.
On the plus side, the Dolphins expect to have Jaylen Waddle back for Monday night’s game against the Saints. Barring any new signings, that’ll leave the Dolphins with Waddle, DeVante Parker, Albert Wilson, Mack Hollins, Preston Williams, and Isaiah Ford at WR.
A setback in his rehab from a broken finger? Might need to set it back… eh? Eh?
What a horrible signing this turned out to be
Writing was on the wall….he was a bandaid boy in Houston.
It was a one year deal for a risky player. The risk didn’t work out. Still a worthwhile gamble. Lighting $10.6 million on fire isn’t a big loss or opportunity cost for them. Now all those draft picks they spent to build that offensive line, THAT’S horrible.
Just not the same player without PEDs
Ah yes, PEDs. Famous for preventing broken fingers.
Grand opening, grand closing.
Done for the year? This guys been done since they signed him. Was hoping he would pan out, but no such luck
I guess he couldn’t help himself. He should have used the other hand. It’s kind of like having sex with a stranger.
BUST!!! Congrats on the free paycheck.. Hope the JETS sign him next season.
