India, Dec. 29 -- The Miami Dolphins jumped ahead 10-7 midway through the second quarter vs the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Hard Rock Stadium, but the lead came with a setback. Moments before Riley Patterson's 29-yard field goal, wide receiver Jaylen Waddle exited the game after suffering what the team later described as a rib injury.

The Dolphins announced that Waddle is questionable to return. He had not recorded a reception before leaving the field and logged one rushing attempt for 7 yards earlier in the half.

Waddle had been on the field for several early offensive series before trainers escorted him off for further evaluation.
